Default Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter

I'm still not sure how he is a detriment to the team....

He is a gold glove shortstop, the best leadoff hitter in baseball, and a total game changer on the basepaths.

Is his character the cleanest? No, but remember what the team looked like when he wasn't on the field last year. Dead... No emotion, business like... oh yeah and the couldn't get a hit to save their own lives...

Was it bush-league, yes...

But Yankee fans can't even gripe on bush league. Your so called "greatest player in history" ran by and tried to punch a ball out of a pitchers hand who was covering first, and than ran by a 3rd baseman and yelled "I got it" on a pop fly. I mean lets face it, they are men... just like you and I.

The Mets are a better team with Reyes on it, and if doing what they did yesterday gets him to come back, than it was worth it... if not, no skin off my back..
