Dear Jose Reyes,

First of all, let me applaud your attempt to steal second base in the ninth inning with a four-run lead. That kind of attitude will take you far around here! I assure you your pluck and can-do attitude will not go unnoticed, and Hall-of-Famer and two-time MVP Joe Morgan is already nurturing a substantial man-crush on you. However, please speak to Rickey about the dos and don'ts of going on first movement, and about getting picked off on a fake-to-third, throw-to-first move.
