I think Al's knees keep giving out on him from the weight of carrying all those ol' bats around. He's a good guy but even good guys have to know their limitations. Hopefully he will be a lot better after this operation and you ol' bats will give him a break and carry your own weight for a while. Everytime one of us caveboys tries to be nice to you ol' bats it winds up biting us in the ass.
