An Open Letter To Carlos Delgado

Dear Carlos Delgado,

this picture summarizes your season, Mr. Delgado

I understand that there is a lot of pressure when you play in New York. I understand you aren’t the player you used to be. And I also understand, that you are batting .197 with RISP. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the clean-up hitter supposed to be the one who gets the runners on base home? Hence the name, clean-up hitter. Well, as is evidenced by your .197 average with RISP, this has not been the case so far this year. So I am writing to tell you that until you hit above the Mendoza line, I will not acknowledge your existence nor will I applaud you. I will probably boo you, actually. I am also going to start tallying the games that you cost us, and at the end of each night I will post how many runners you left on base, and how many runs you cost us. Time to, clean-up, your act. (See what I did there?)

With a minimal amount of love, gNYS?
