There it is!

Feast your eyes, dear readers, on the good news. Sure, the team lost badly, but on his 119th plate appearance of 2005, our young shortstop drew a walk. Not just any walk, mind you, but an RBI walk. Jose Reyes: attack walker. Time to blow out the candle at the shrine of Our Lady of Plate Discipline. Our boy's all growns up.

Of course, it wasn't all wine and roses at Shea last night, as the Phillies bludgeoned Tom Glavine about the face and chest.

I don't know what it is with Pat Burrell. Maybe his little sister ran off with a Mets fan or something, but he just punishes this team every chance he gets. Recently slumping Bobby Abreu also took advantage of our overripe lefty, driving in four.

Glavine is done. 30.2 innings, 26 runs allowed, 22 walks, 18 strikeouts. That performance is beyond ugly. It's treasonous, and the responsible party cannot be permitted to continue pitching in the major leagues. It was a great career, and best of luck with the HoF induction (in that ridiculous Braves getup)... but you're dead to me now.

Okay that's probably just the disappointment talking, but in all seriousness, if he doesn't improve drastically and immediately, I don't see how Willie can keep giving him the ball.
