NEW YORK -- On the night of May 6, standing at his stall at PNC Park, the face of baseball in Pittsburgh was as flustered as I've ever seen.

"I'm sick and tired of going 0-for-freaking-4," Andrew McCutchen fumed as more and more reporters crowded around to hear what would become a 20-minute no-holds-barred public self-evisceration. "I know I'm better than that. I'm getting paid what I'm getting paid because of the way I should be playing. Right now I'm not doing what I should be doing for the money I'm making. … It's under mediocre right now. It's bad.”

Sure was. But it also was the end.
