Me: Everything going okay with the bathroom?
Gi: Besides opening up the wall and fixing the pipe, they haven’t done anything, so it looks like you’re going to be stuck using my bathroom when you get back.
Me: I’ll use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, and I can shower in the locker room at the field. I won’t bother you.
Gi: I’m not that bad to share a bathroom with…
Me: But you don’t know that I’m not.
Gi: GIF of eye roll
Streaks added Dragon to the chat.
Streaks: Where we all heading?
Dragon: Why did you put me in this chat again? I’m not chasing ball bunnies with you
Angel Boy: They added me and Martinez, and we’re married with kids.
Streaks: We’re on the road
Streaks: Guys your better halves are at home
Streaks: There is no reason you can’t hang with me
Streaks: Bambi and I will handle all the women don’t worry
Martinez: I’m about ten years too old to keep up with you, Streaks.
Streaks: I’m older than you
Angel Boy: Pretty sure you still think you’re 22.
Streaks: Look who’s got the dad jokes
Angel Boy: Emoji of a middle finger
Streaks: Seriously no one will go out with me?
Dragon: Nope
Dragon left the chat.
Streaks: Bambi?
Streaks: Man????
Streaks: Where you at?????
Martinez: When I saw him earlier, he said he was ordering room service and going to bed.
Streaks added Dragon into the chat.
Streaks: Do you see that, Dragon?
Streaks: Your boy is staying in…
Streaks: He might be dead
Streaks: We must check on him!!!
Dragon: For the love of God, he’s a grown-ass man. He doesn’t need checking on. Gi and Pop just left Avery’s, and I’m FaceTiming her, so leave me alone
Dragon left the chat.
Streaks: Sucks to be you Angel Boy
Angel boy: Why? I’m not in the room with him. I’m at the bar with Martinez and the new guy having a burger and a beer.
Streaks: Seriously?????
Angel Boy: Selfie of Asher Price, Jasper Quinn, and Eddie Martinez at a high-top
Streaks: Fuck you very much
Angel Boy: GIF of a guy falling over laughing
Martinez: We’re at Taps on 8th. We were about to tell you.
Streaks: Be there in five
Streaks: Assholes
Gi: Good game. Congrats on your 15th stolen base.
Me: Wow you watched it?
Gi: Avery had Pop and me over for dinner.
Me: Ah, so not by choice.
Gi: GIF of an eye roll
Gi: They still haven’t been back to work on the bathroom.
Me: I’ll check in with them when I get home.
Gi: Sorry - you’re probably out having fun - I’ll let you be.
Me: Picture of himself sitting shirtless on his hotel bed.
Gi: I swear Chris talks about how you’re always out at a club or a bar…
Me: Not feeling it lately.
Gi: How come?
