And, he might again!

But, to really make your knees turn to jelly, do you remember Johnny Disaster at short? I used to pray that they wouldn't hit it to him late in a tight game.

Yikes! He's a pretty good pinch hitter, esp. when he gets his "stank-eye" working. But in center? Yikes! I am very happy to see Grissom and Cruz patrolling center and right! Cruz is a treat to watch.

I was still in CT and a Mets fan when he played. (chortling at the name). But I WAS here for the 1987 playoffs in St. Louis. Two words: Candy Maldonado (which means "bad fielding in the playoffs"). I still hold a mild grudge against the Cards, which lightened up considerable when the Giants passed them in the NLDS last year.
