The biggest news ever.

Christian Guzman, all of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO PLATE APPEARANCES INTO THE SEASON, drew his first walk.

His first walk.

Brad just dropped serious Elias-level facts on me: Alex Sanches went two-hundred and nine plate appearances over three years without a walk, and Craig Robinson went 146 in a single season.

The fact remains, Christian Guzman now has a (infantesimally) higher On-Base Percentage than Batting Average. All flags should be lowered to half-mast across the land.

You could even get the Pirates to chip in for this task, if you know what I mean*.

*Pirates, that's what I mean.

Check Joe Pos to see what I'm talking about in greater, smarter, more verbose, less-disheartened fashion:

Jack Wilson just dropped damn-long triple off of Kip Wells for the first AB of the third. Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske grounded out.

Hey, I remember him!
