I love a great redemption story. Here is a guy who is presumably making the league minimum (which is probably like $200k, how does he eat?) who drops a routine fly ball that eventually led to two Mets runs (because Looper threw them meat on the next pitch). Who hasn't had something similar happen to them? Whether it is saying something wrong, or sending out something with a typo? It happens to all of us.
Most of us however, don't get to "redeem" ourselves, by acting like a number 5 hitter in the major leagues and hit a grand slam to put our teams ahead. And then have everyone fawn over you for two days (you best believe the entire pregame before the game tonight is going to be replaying this over and over).
I really like Casey McGehee. I think he was a huge pickup, and the thought of him playing every day doesn't make me physically ill (see Billy Hall). But lets relax a little bit here. He didn't survive cancer (that I know of). He didn't cure AIDS. He fucking hit a home run after making a bonehead play. It was cool when it happened. Get over it.
Really fun game to watch last night by the way.
