This past week, Endy Chavez celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday. The Mets honored him by tweeting this:

See, I can appreciate this since the Cardinals ended up winning anyway, otherwise this would be one of those "ugh" moments that induce hatred and frustration, not unlike highlights of Michael Wacha entering the ninth inning of Game Five of the 2014 NLCS.

Fortunately, I don't have to feel that way over Chavez's great catch, thanks to the heroics of Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright.
