I have to add how it gives me the rage how the Mets pay zero attention to the basestealing game. They hardly do any running themselves, be it because they're a terrible mix of old, fat, crap, and slow (the actual mix varies by player), and they are completely oblivious to the other teams' stealing business, which is how we got to set an MLB record for consecutive bases getting robbed of to begin a season, and half the time - and Narvaez especially - they don't even bother throwing.

Probably because they're back there under the painstick, airing their nether regions in the most unsuitable position for any sort of catching duty. Oh boy, and all the wild pitches...

Fundies, said Keith.

The bright side is that as the losses mound, Keith will get grumpier. The moaning might begin as early as June. And how he'd never have gotten out of the Texas League in 1972 with the 21-hour bus rides, if he had la-di-dah'ed it like these kids with their shoe contracts do! Also, there goes another Barves runner. Against the Mets, they all look like Lou Brock!
