Words that will be always uttered by one Mr. Luis Castillo.
The absolute object of Mets fans wrath last season, he comes into this season about 17lbs. lighter and has done a solid job at 2B and at the plate. But that all changed last night.
In case you missed it, we had bottom 9, Mets up 8-7, K-Rod going for save #17, two outs and two on (first and second). K-Rod gets A-Rod to swing and pop one up to short right. Castillo fades back, then sidesteps, back-pedals and then finally settles under the ball; puts up his glove and makes a one handed catch or so it would seem.
HE DROPS THE BALL.
TWO RUNS SCORE.
THE YANKEES WIN, THE YANKEES WIN.
He is in the permanent doghouse now. Bet on that one. Will never hear the end of it.
And I blame the manager. Lax play because the manager allows it.
And let's not forget the GM, who signed this guy for 4 years, $24M when nobody, and I mean nobody was going to give him that kind of tab.
SoulSlam is not happy this morning.
