There's A Little Crying In Baseball...

Locker room interviews aren't as much fun as you'd think.

I've been in my share of locker rooms and clubhouses in my day.

Usually it's a large dude, fresh out of a shower, muttering meaningless cliches as he puts in earrings that are worth more than 3 years of my salary.

Every now and again, you get real emotion, such as we heard from Cody Ross and Dan Uggla (not pictured).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't in the Marlins clubhouse after the Astros game on Sunday.

The only reason I even bothered sending a photographer was the Dolphins were off and there wasn't anything else going on.

So, I figured, what the heck?

Turns out, the Marlins let Cody go to San Francisco for nothing, and Uggla was not a happy camper.

Neither was Cody for that matter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a little torn how about this show of emotion.

On the one hand, I'm touched.

These guys have played together for 5 years.

They're best friends.

I mean, we're talking intense bromance.

There's a brotherhood and bond that few of us can understand.

On the other hand, you play for the Marlins.

You have to know that anyone and everyone is ultimately expendible at any time.

To misquote the Godfather, "this is the life you have chosen."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would feign outrage about the Marlins letting Cody go, but I think it's for the best.

Cody will play for a contender.

As for Uggla, I'd say, clean away your tear-soaked, eye-black.

Everything is going to be okay Mr. Popeye arms.

You work in a business where people move around a bit.

Heck, I work in television and I've had friends leave me to move all across the country: Tampa, New Orleans, Boston and on and on.

That's just how it goes.
