They also said "Jose never gets hurt" or something like that. Wha?!!

Damn, Cespedes loves that curve ball.

Thanks to today's wider screen TV sets they'd be able to get all the lapels in the same shot.

I thought triple too, but he was pulling up before the ball was even thrown in. It wasn't a "for sure" triple in any case, but we have to accept that Reyes has lost a few steps. One of my brothers wants him gone. I say you don't give up on Reyes this soon.

I'm not impressed either, but he's on the verge of 2,000 hits. Lightning could strike, he gets entrenched at a nu position, and suddenly he has five more healthy years in him.

I'd give that about a 6% chance, though. It's as likely that he gets released and hangs them up within a month, I guess.

Booooo!

If Jose gets released by the Mets he'll be searching hard for another gig rather than just meekly hanging it up. He has children to support, including some with his wife.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It not ready to give up on José yet either, but it's not too early to think about how much more rope he gets.

Josh Smoker: newest resident of Trustville, NY?

Phillies telecast just replayed Mike Schmidt's 500th home run, at Three Rivers Stadium. Those old artificial turf ballparks were hideous.

[Zvon]

Reyes is lost up there but I can't give up on him. I might bench him before the break if he don't come around, but I wouldn't release him. After the break, all bets are off.

[Zvon]

Ugh, Ramos strikes out the side. I'm afraid one run won't be enough.

Familia is back tomorrow. right?

[Benjamin Grimm]

By "the break" do you mean the All-Star break?

You'd continue to let him play every day, with a .085 batting average, for about 90 games????


Familia returns on Thursday.

[ashie62]

Do the Mets starters have to leave early?

I had read give TC as many relievers for Christmas as you can and he will use them all.

I have no clue on Reyes but the trend is what it is.

[Edgy MD]

Salas with the walk. Tying run at the plate.

Having a Phlorida phlashback.

[Edgy MD]

I don't want the Fernando Salas Story to turn the way the Fernando Nieve Story did.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That was ugly.

Is there any other "break" in this game?

At a certain point in between I would have to do something if he remained in the toilet. Have him coming off the bench might wake him up. I'd just hate to make it to the post and not have Wright & Reyes on the squad if it's possible. It's a sentimental thing, I know. But I feel strongly about it.

Up until the ASG. And then, it depends how the team is doing as well as how Reyes is doing. But if he continues on as he is.....he could very well be outta here. I'd be bummed.

OMG,lolol.....Reyes drops an easy pop up! CUT HIM! I kid.
But jeeze...

Sheesh, how about now?

Pete Mackanin ought to be yanking Galvis.

Mebbe Jose needs some glasses.

I stick with him.

That really sucked tho, lol.

[Zvon]

I knew he was gonna drop it too. As I was typing that shit the ball was coming down and I said to myself...watch him drop it.

I was still pretty surprised that he did.

[Zvon]

Come on Blevins!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jerry-chanting. Heh.

[Edgy MD]

Bleh.

[Zvon]

That did bounce over the wall. A break.

[Edgy MD]

Mets don't need one more pitcher. Mets need more than two runzzz.

[Guest d'Kong76]

We need some 'lettuce!'

This is the Luis Castillo game, redux.
