And Where The Other Half Will Land, Remains a Mystery - MLB Free Agency 2018

No doubt, it is the "teammate" end of two very popular, enduring sports cornerstones: Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas. They played together through the minor leagues and it wasn't long before they were playing together for the parent team, the Kansas City Royals. But it looks like this duo has been parted on the field as today, the first baseman Hosmer officially became a member of the National League's San Diego Padres. Third baseman Mike "Moose" Moustakas is still a free agent without a team.

If you're a regular reader of Narnia Dispatches, you have seen these two mentioned several times as one of our OTP's. This will be quite interesting to watch where Moose lands and with the unlikelihood of Moose joining San Diego, this author has begun to wonder if the two men are being purposely separated. It's hard to say at this point.

We wish Eric Hosmer success with his new team and the Royals will not be the same without him. Here's a look at he and Moose during their tenure with the Royals. Please pass the Puffs.

The Dog Days of Summer - OTP Style

Despite the start of many schools across the country (especially around here in mighty JoCo!), we're still technically under the rising of the star Sirius (the Dog Star which is in Canis major constellation) which occurs on August 15. I think that qualifies for still being in the dog days of summer, how about you? With Liam Payne's "fetching" puppy photo shoot still in Narnia's mind, we thought we would take a look at our other fave OTP stars with some canine (and other species!) friends.

Jimmie Dodd of Disney's Mouseketeer fame with the roll call, how about it, Jimmie?

Adam Lambert!

and what about this one? Adam with Steve Aoki and Steve's dog, Lil Uzi:

And Niall Horan!

Kris Allen!

(There's nothing like Kris kissing on a pup, is there?)

Blake Shelton!

Awww now look at that. And because Narnia is an inclusive community, we have Blake with a kittie:

Wow. Who knew?
Who's next, Jimmie?

Louis Tomlinson!!

And we won't hold anything against chimps either. This picture is awesome:

Jensen Ackles! Here's Jensen and Icarus:

and a bonus!Jensen and Jared with a member of the Suidae family:

That's a favorite right there.

And because it's against the law to not conjoin Jensen with Jared...

This post is killin'. Jimmie, who's going to kill us next with the cuteness?

Jonathan Toews!

and because Patrick does seem to kind of elude the canine breed, it does seem he was captured in a photo with his buddy Jonny and a fan.

Patrick Kane!

Awwww. lol. Yeah, look who's engaged with the pup. That's okay, Patrick. Perhaps the Man with the Hockey Stick can't afford to be easily distracted. ;-)

Now hold on - this just in. Do unicorns count? Patrick goes big, I guess. From a Stanley Cup party, Patrick with the equine cosplay...

Austin Nichols! with a side of Hilarie Burton:

That's a rare sighting, folks. Austin in his earlier, OTH days.

Harry Styles!!

better watch it, Harry, they can squirt right out of your arms if you're not holding on...

Jimmie, where'd you go? Who's next?

Adam Levine!

and THAT, everyone - is a BOOM. That's a boom. Can he do it again?

Again - who knew? Who even knew? Jimmie c'mon, keep up, buddy.

Jake Gyllenhaal!

Jake and bless his heart, Atti. And who hasn't seen Jake with his Boo?

Aaaah!

Zayn Malik!!

good lord. That is too much. And here's Zayn with his dog, Boris:

lol. Someone on pinterest called Boris a "burnt marshmallow". And it's true - he kind of is that color. Because we're already on Tilt, what's the point...hit us again, Zayn!

Bonus hour!! MLB members - Mike "Moose" Moustakas" and his pup Gus:

and Whit Merrifield:

I claim complete innocence on Whit and one of the family pets! I cannot be held responsible for the lack of sun coverage - just a victim of Pinterest circumstance. ;-)

One more sneak-in - I could not help it! Mr. Dylan O'Brien:

And Jimmie, who is the crescendo on this tribute?

Liam "Lima Bean" Payne. Awwww...

I see Liam doesn't fall too far from the Jake Tree, does he? LOL!
And this one will just about do us all in:

Well, before we high "tail" it out of here, Narnia wants to salute all of our OTP's and honorary so-called "members". Thank you "fur" all the adorbs and aww's. Just what we could use on a Monday, right?

Tip o' The Hat To Our OTPs and Fave Men On This St Patrick's Day!

Narnia Dispatches wishes everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day, an observance and honorary salute to the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick. All parts of Ireland celebrate the country's heritage and the holiday has become the most celebrated national festival, according to Wiki.

And so first we enjoy the green, lush landscape of Ireland (thank you, Reddit!) and now, in no particular order except for our lead-off, let's enjoy our favorite men as they adorn the green.....

First up, Mr. Niall Horan, of course!
