Well, not just yet. But perhaps some day soon. The OWA is pleased to announce that we've reached a tentative agreement to allow Alkie back into the ranks of the great scribes, including Limey, of the Columnista Row. Also known as assault row for you baseball fans out there. Negotiations were tough, roughly 10 minutes of wrasslin'-like stare downs, finger gestures and some spitting (sorry about that Alkie).
When negotiations broke off, it was apparent to us that Alkie wanted to be like the Drama Queen and hold us up for a few months, just to see if he could coax some *other* fansites, maybe a blog or two, into joining the fray for his services. He kept repeating "May" to us and we just went back to spitting on him (really, sorry about that Alkie). In the end, the love between the innebriated one and this fansite could not be broken, even if a blog out there may offer more in terms of perks. So Alkie will return in his own good time to write again, this time in a column named "Alkie's Fables" (you thought we had forgotten, eh? Well... we did, until Alkie reminded us! Doh!).
For now, Alkie just wants to pitch some BP columns our way, get in shape, test out the new pen and take Foghorn's left nut out of storage, dust if off and place it back on the mantle for inspiration sake. You know the drill, you've been through this with Roger Clemens before, will do it again this year... so Alkie is no different than any other prima donna out there. Deal with it.
But he did submit a piece as a goodwill gesture, so here you go, the return of Alkie's perspectives, right here on this site:
FROM LEFT FIELD: May I Present to You...
