The Mets are no rehab clinic, but, among the reasons to root for Lino Urdaneta to see some time with the big club this season, his line as a major leaguer has to be somewhere on the list.

How the hell do you get your ERA down to respectability from inf?

Start by getting an out. With a first out, his ERA drops (in theory) to 162.00. If he gets a second out, it's 81.00. If he somehow gets a scoreless inning, then he's down to 54.00. I could retire with dignity and start my post-baseball life with a 54.00 ERA. Lino, for what it's worth, hasn't allowed a baserunner in two innings this spring, striking out three and notching a save.

why retire with a 54 ERA though? retire now and be the answer to trivia questions.
