Two major league hitters in the lineup..Hope this is not rained out.

Collins said that if Reyes gets two early hits, he'll probably be pulled so for an ovation (goodbye).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, two guys who were big league hitters at the start of the season anyhow. Tejada has turned out to be the jiggs.

And Evans is a big league hitter, too, if not a starter. But yeah, this is a springly lineup. I think Harris is the only guy on the card who hasn't played for Buffalo this season.

is this his attempt to kiss Jose's ass, to try and help the contract process for the offseason?
it's bullshit, but whatever, Yogi.
Ted Williams' head is spinning in its freezer.

[metirish]

A day game , can't even see Jose's possible last turn as a Met.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wonder also if this will be Wayne Hagin's last game as a Met.

(sniff)

[Ceetar]

Okay, I'm going to Vegas. seeya.

Jose Reyes.

[metirish]

Just read that Francesa will join Howie and Wayne in the booth starting in the fifth........torture til the end.

[Guest attgig]

WTF!

[Frayed Knot]

[bigpurple:3pot1njk]BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!![/bigpurple:3pot1njk]

[TransMonk]

I believe Ryan Braun now needs three hits tonight to win the title.

I like Jose's chances.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Turner runs for Reyes. Lame.

I agree with the big purple boo.

Ridiculous. The fans who bothered to show up should get out of there too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My main interest in this game was to see how Jose would do.

Now we're deep into rat's ass territory.

[Met Hunter]

Not exactly a Ted Williams move.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well rip my stockings! How many of these suckers paid for tickets to this game to see Reyes only to get him pulled in the first inning?

Way to punt on first down, JerryTerry!

I've been in rat's ass territory for at least a month now.

Of winning a title on his ass.

Or losing it on his ass.

The key word is ass.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/bigpurple]

I'm embarrassed to be a Met fan today, thank you Terry fucking Collins.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if any pressure to remove Jose came from 'upstairs' (meaning Wilpons more than Sandy).
We've accused this ownership/team of over-caring so to speak about pr moments, round numbers, and the like - which leads one to wonder about whether the quick hook was ordered or at least strongly encouraged on account of having 'a batting champion' being so darn important to someone with some pull.

Wouldn't it be something if they sent a pinch-runner in for him?

[metirish]

I wouldn't doubt that FK. How many fans came today to see Reyes and missed his AB?, just terrible stuff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm still kind of disgusted by the pulling of Piazza while he still had another at-bat on the way.

[metsmarathon]

can't this fucking team do anything fucking right?

Certainly goes against Terry's recent stretch of bunty, relievey, desperate baseball.

I really don't care all that much anymore but always a disappointment when fans can openly debate the motives of the management.
