Injury to Alex Reyes “sucks” - A Hunt and Peck

By now, most Cardinals fans have heard the news about Alex Reyes:

And "it sucks".

Remember how happy we all were about Carlos Martínez signing an extension? Remember that? Fools, all of us. This is baseball, where happiness only exists to amplify the impact of the inevitable doom.

Darn you, baseball. Darn you.
