Double trouble

Uh oh. My doppelgänger just got a call up from AAA Richmond to fill in at 2B. According to the dominant motif in 19th century German Romantic literature, very bad things will happen to both of us if I ever go to a Braves game. Those of you with a less moribund personality may prefer C.G. Jung's interpretation, wherein he discusses the opposition between the "shadow" and the "self," and suggests that the doppelgänger is merely a mirror image who embodies contradictory characteristics. My double went 1-4 with a run batted in in his Major League debut, which is not too shabby. Whereas I spent most of my day watching paint peeling. Turns out I've been the shadow all along; anyone care to lend me $5601.01 to reclaim myself/ my self?
