Bloopers - Jon Lester & Robinson Cano

Baseball can be a humbling & embarassing game at times.  Take Jon Lester trying to live up to the big Cubs contract.  For the first time in years Lester makes a throw to first to keep a runner close.  On his 2nd throw over to first he air mails the ball to RF, badly.  Embarassing.  Last night Robinson Cano is on 3rd with another Mariners runner on 2nd.  Batter walks.  Cano starts trotting to home like the bases were loaded & he eventually gets tagged out.  Embarassing.  Both players are superior athletes & both will end up having good years.  I think Lester needs to settle down & forget about his contract.  In Cano's case I have never liked his cool & casual attitude towards the game.  Even Mariano Rivero said that he prefers Pedroia as a 2nd baseman because Pedroia plays all 27 outs.  Both guys will make the blooper reel at the end of the year.
