So this is Jay Sborz?

I think it might have been easier to be Jay Sborz tonight at Citi Field than to be in front of the TV watching his disastrous major-league debut. So, rather than analyze this outing, we’ll share what Joe Janish at MetsToday.com (and recent podcast guest) had to say about Sborz’s appearance: He looked very sad [...]
