Cracking Up For The Right Reasons

Yeah, that's the general reaction to a lot of Mets games. Mostly, it's fans laughing to keep from crying. But on Saturday night, Mike Baxter couldn't help but laugh at his offensive production. Five plate appearances, five appearances on base ... but under the at-bat column a big fat zero. That's because Baxter's latest foray into history was to basically just stand in one place and become the first Met to walk five times in a nine inning game. Vince Coleman did it in a sixteen inning game, but the Mets lost ... probably because Jeff Torborg couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag while Kevin Bass went 0-for-7, but that's just a guess.
