Chris Stewart spikes pickoff throw, reminds us that sometimes life is just really hard

Chris Stewart was stalwartly guarding the plate for the Pirates during Friday's game against the Mets. When he noticed Juan Lagares taking a lead off third base, he did what any good catcher would do -- he fired a strike down the line.

Sorry, did we say strike? We meant "spike" and by "down the line" we meant "down into the earth's molten core."

It's OK, buddy. We're right there with you. Who among us hasn't made that face when watching your piece of toast fall on the floor, butter side down? Or after your computer decides to shut itself down right before you hit save? Sometimes life is just hard. We know for whom Stewart spiked the ball; he spiked it for us.
