Mike Piazza would miss this opening day. His sprained right wrist might take another day to heal enough to throw or firmly grip a bat, so the doctor said. Mike dressed dejectedly, knowing his uniform wouldn't need to be cleaned after today's game.
Ain't this a bitch. I can't fucking stand to just sit there on the bench. And Bobby V. will whine if I read comic books in the dugout. I'm playing tomorrow no matter what.
Mike went out to the stands to sign autographs before the game. Because there didn't seem to be much point in warming up, he spent more time than usual chatting with the fans.
Two very attractive women soon caught Mike's attention but they seemed to be paying no mind to him. He watched them for about fifteen minutes talking on cell phones and writing furiously in notebooks. And one even had a laptop she pounded away on.
Shit, they are not even looking up at me. Must be lesbians.
Very warm and sunny in Atlanta this particular opening day afternoon so most of the Turner Field crowd donned summer attire. The two women Mike carefully observed were quite scantily dressed.
Mike caught the attention of one as she looked up momentarily from her scribbling. He motioned for her to approach him. She did, and dragged her companion along.
"I'm Mike Piazza, the best player in baseball. And you two are?"
"I'm Deborah, the best butt bumper east of the Mississippi without a real dick."
"And I'm Pandora. Would you like to be my daddy?"
"I see we have a couple of jokers here. Really, ladies, what do you two do and why are you here? You don't look like typical baseball fans."
Talk about balling. I'd like to get to slide into home with these two.
Mike tried not to be obvious as he examined the two women. He had quite the eye for both the strike zone and the erogenous zone. He guessed Deborah and Pandora to both be several years younger than himself. Not jail bait, but not ready for the nursing home either. Pandora's nipples and large aureolas were quite noticeable through the white tank top that ended at her belly button. Lodon antique wash short shorts with a slim fit. Deborah wore a floral print halter-top with a deep v-neck and button-front denim no-waist style shorts.
"Are you two models or something?" Mike asked quite seriously.
"Yeah, right, do we look like bimbo babes?" Pandora snapped.
Well shit, the long hair, tight asses, great tits and legs that won't quit confused me
, Mike thought, but didn't say.
"Not baseball fans?" Deborah questioned indignantly. "We know you can't throw worth a shit, Mike. You should be the designated hitter."
"This is the National League, Deb," Pandora corrected, "the DH is only in the American League."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. I haven't seen many games in the past couple years except in Cleveland. Fucking Cleveland. Mistake on the lake. And don't eat the fish."
"So you two are baseball fans. Funny, never would have guessed you are 'Baseball Annies' but who can tell?"
"Say what?" Pandora asked, confused.
"Groupies. Haven't you read
Ball Four
by Jim Bouton?"
"Have you read
Das Kapital
? Deborah inquired sarcastically.
"Now be serious, ladies, what do you two do and why are you here?"
"Well," Pandora began, "just for fun we write dirty stories for an erotic website. In fact, we are in a contest against one another and other authors at this very moment."
This is getting quite interesting
. Mike smirked.
"But we both have real jobs in the business world," Deborah added, "and we are in Atlanta for a big conference sponsored by the company that furnishes both of our employers with various systems and software products."
"Well, how come you're not in meetings or something?"
"Today is arrival day and a golf tournament," Pandora explained, "and we passed on that. Tomorrow the meetings begin."
"Yeah, we suck," Deborah added.
"Say what?" Mike asked, smirking again.
"Golf. Tiger Woods we are not," Deborah responded.
"Would you two ladies like to have dinner with me after the game?"
"Just you?" Pandora asked. "Or would you bring someone else?"
"Yeah, how about Benny Agbayani?" Deborah inquired. "He's cute. And I hear he suffers from a rare Hawaiian disease, lackanooky. I'd like to do something about that!"
"No, just me, ladies. I don't like to share my good fortune."
Or pussy
. Mike was beyond smirking and grinned from ear to ear.
"Well then, Mike," Deborah agreed, "we are staying at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. Pick us up about sevenish?"
"Hey, I know where that is!"
"You should, Mike, it's the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere," Pandora observed. "Duh!"
"It's 'doh!' I think," Deborah corrected. "Don't you watch the Simpsons, bitch?"
"Go fuck a troll, whore!"
"Now, now, no cat fights, girls, save your energy for later. I'll meet you two in the lobby, like you said, sevenish."
"Mike, did you know the lobby is designed after Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens?" Pandora asked, hoping Mike might show some sign of intelligence beyond that of Cro-Magnon man.
"Just another ballpark to me."
"Yeah, well I'll bet you can't hit one up to the 69th floor," Deborah snorted, "because that's where our suite is."
"I'll give it my best shot."
As in full load.
"See you ladies later then. I have to go warm the bench. Can't play today."
Mike had an erection throughout the entire game and he thought how fortunate to not have to play. He could see Deborah and Pandora in the stands from the dugout and they put on a little show just for him. They brought fruit to the game and when they both peeled and ate a banana very suggestively he thought about asking Bobby V. if he could be excused from the rest of the game.
Hmmm. I wonder if I dare ask the skipper if I can blowjob, 'er I mean blow off the rest of the game. No, better not. I'll just sit here and suffer. Down boy, down.
The Braves beat the Mets 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth on a Chipper Jones home run. Mike could have cared less but he did fantasize about scoring soon himself.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Bobby Valentine asked Mike as they walked to the locker room. "You look like a zombie."
"Oh nothing, Bobby. Just disappointed we lost and I couldn't play."
"Tell me about it. I hate losing to the motherfucking Braves. You want to get some ribs and brews with the coaches and me tonight?"
"No, but thanks, Skip. Meeting some new friends who are in Atlanta on business for dinner."
And I sure hope they are on the fucking menu.
Mike showed up with a limousine at seven sharp and strolled into the lobby.
Sweet Jesus and the Virgin Mary!
Mike wiped his chin because for a moment he suspected he just might be drooling.
