<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Here's what the Cincinnati Reds did last Saturday: In the bottom of the third inning, pitcher Johnny Cueto, who was on first base, thought the third out had been made at first base, so he jogged around second and was tagged out halfway to third. In the next inning, baserunner Brandon Phillips was caught leaning off first by San Diego Padres pitcher Wade LeBlanc. The next inning, the same thing happened to the Reds' Jonny Gomes. The next inning, Reds center fielder Drew Stubbs forgot how many outs there were, and, after catching a fly ball for the second out of the sixth inning, threw the ball into the stands. Four straight innings, four mental errors.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Man, do I remember that shit. This quote is from an ESPN article that says that mental errors are very common for a <i>lot</i> of players, so it isn't just the Reds. It's an MLB-wide problem. But you know?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
