NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!
I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

Poor guy
He cried. Lots of big, tears. Not a good sign for trying out with the "big guys."
It's hard for us to watch him do that but we don't seem to know how to help him shake things off easier. I think that that might have been it for his chances for the 9s and I hate that it was those tears and not his ability to play that might be the thing that tips the scales.
He just had a rough start at the plate and crumbled.
He was just wound too tight and takes things too hard. He's like his mom...and it makes his dad crazy.
Welcome to Stressville with stops at Walking on Eggshells and Pretend Cheery Voices.
And you have to love baseball nights, "Hurry up and eat your dinner so you can go to bed!"
