Wasn't that just fucking perfect? I backed it up and watched it about a dozen times, and every single time Carlo$ made the half-hearted grab of the ball, I had to go to slow-mo to pinpoint the exact moment that his spirit breaks. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.............. there.
Yep, that's the moment that the "why did I do it" chatter that's been getting louder in the back of his head finally shoved his inner Boras out of the way and grabbed the reins. All the pent-up angst over being booed, all the anxiety over the constant locker room advances from Piazza, having to look at Pedro's greasy fucking mop day after day after day AFTER FUCKING DAY...
The cameras cut away, but I like to imagine him sobbing gently, alone in right-center, wondering why he isn't the one in the middle of the man-slapping lovefest at home plate. Why the goddamn uppity Ivy Leaguer with no stick is the hero, as he's left to dry his beautiful, marketable eyes with crisp $10,000 bills.
It continues like this for some time, but you get the idea. That's how it looked on my Tivo, anyway, but I had quite a few St. Arnies before the 9th. What'd it look like to everyone else?
