Maybe the 08 championship was a fluke?

Right on top of the desk he had a bobble-head figure: Carlos Beltran with a frown and a tag showing little stars streaming from his stomach. He was getting set to address the package to Matthew when Tiffany spoke up.

“Really Aaron,” said Tiffany. “I get the ones you sent to Craig. But, this one, is that at all fair? Beltran has played well… when he’s in the lineup.”

“It’s all in good fun. See look:” He adjusted his glasses and took up the figure showing it to Tiffany, and started imitating Beltran:

“Hi! I’m Carlos Beltran, I’m an aging Veteran looking for another shot at the post-season and I don’t steal bases after my team is up 6 runs in the game. I’d love to play but my tummy hurts.”

Unbeknownst to Aaron, pixie dust was forming behind him while he was giving his performance. Tiffany was no longer giving him an amused smile and instead a concerned frown and cutting motion with her hand across her neck. Too late.

Materializing from nowhere, Carlos Beltran snatched his bobble head figure from Aaron’s hand and glared at him:

“Are you making fun of me!!?,” Carlos demanded.

Still a little shell-shocked, Aaron nervously stammered: “Uh, No-no.”

“Aren’t you!!!??”.

Aaron sighed dejectedly, hanging his head. “yes.”
