Can this marriage be saved?

It's like your wife says, 'I'm going to get rid of you for a new husband.'[Long pause] 'Damn it! I couldn't find anybody in time! I thought I had one, but you know what, on second thought, we couldn't come to terms. Darn it! [Another long pause] Um, I want you back now. I want you back now to take care of our kids. We're all right, right? OK, good. Everything's cool, right? I know I said you were a bad husband, but I didn't mean it.'

That's Nomar Garciaparra, quoted in the Boston Globe Magazine referring to his relationship with the Boston Red Sox. I'm thinking we might be in the market for a shortstop soon.
