When you are making $10M a year for the Yankees and she's on your arm one night at the Ritz Carlton as you introduce her to Trump.....

DO YOU THINK SHE IS GOING TO CARE WHETHER YOU WENT TO FRANCE FOR A WEEK!

Let me tell you a little story:

My dad tried out for the St. Louis Cardinals (1957). He went for a weekend tryout and made Friday cuts, and Saturday cuts. He skipped Sunday and went back home because he was missing his girlfriend. Incidently, said girlfriend is NOT my mother, his wife. So, do you think my dad goes back and thinks "Yeah, that chick was really worth losing my baseball dream."

However, if the reality of the issue is that you don't have a snowball's chance in Hell at getting drafted (and your heart knows the answer to this question), then quit wasting your money and your parents' money on a selfish pipe dream, go to frickin' France, and shag under the Eiffel Tower! More importantly, when you get back, you better post the story of it back in here!

My brother was drafted two years ago in the 2nd round to the Astros. I have a really really good chance (almost 100% positive) that I will be drafted. I've been looked at by scouts and have filled out paperwork for them as well. My brother and I have been working all our lives to get to this point. He is there and I'm on my way. I've been looking at both sides for the past few days. I think that if I save my money and go pick her up at the airport and surprise her with flowers and all that good shit it will make her happy. I still dont know. I'm waiting on a reply from her.
