Entmaiden controversy resurfaces

MINAS MORGUL - Lilac Slenderleaf is a rather non-descript "prospect" in the Slayers' AA system. At 27, and still stuck in AA, one would not expect a news story surrounding this player. Except this girl is no ordinary girl. She's an ent girl. Supposedly. That's what one fan is determined to find out once and for all. This fan, still anonymous for some reason, is determined to prove that Slenderleaf is not an entmaiden after all.

"You ask me, that's either an Ent wearing a leafy dress or one huge dryad." The fan spoke, "Even more suspcious is that there's only one of them? If they did come back, why would they do so only one at a time? That's nonsense."

When ask about how he'd want to prove one way or another Slenderleaf's gender, he said: "A pollen test. Maybe a sap test too. There's no way I'll believe it without those two tests for a start. And then from there, I'll see what other ways to prove it."

So far, Slenderleaf has been unavailible to comment, and K.L. doesn't really seem to care right now because she's about Minas Morgul's 34th best prospect, and an old one that that.

"I'm curious, but that's about it. Not that it really matters either way. I just go by what they tell me. I'm not about to ask about their entire Middle Earth life history just to play baseball." K.L. spoke. "They just better not hurt Lilac with all this 'testing' being mentioned."

The Dryads are up in arms about the whole situation and the druids aren't very keen on the idea either. The Dryads in particular are rumored to be filing a petition to the Minas Morgul leaders to get this whole thing stopped.

"We're sorry if we cause the Slayers and K.L. any problems with this - he's been so kind to us, but we just feel something has to be done. I think he'll understand as long as it doesn't get very chaotic." one Dryad fan spoke.

If it does get chaotic, K.L. will probably but a stop to the whole thing himself. His Slayers are finally enjoying a successful season, and he doesn't want anything to distract fans from that.

"That's what they deserve most, successful baseball. They have it and now this entmaiden thing is starting up again. If it does keep the fans away, or disturb the minor leagues too much, it will have to stop if I must get involved in it myself." K.L. spoke.

So far, nothing much beside chest beating and empty words have taken place, much like the last time when Lilac Slenderleaf first revealed herself as an entmaiden. Team officials will be watching to see if it progresses any further and if it gets out of hand.
