I was able to tell it was stupid just by the headline. I started to Madden's article a quick skim to get the rough gist, but I found I couldn't even bring myself to do that.
The remaining two games from the series against the Pirates will close on Tuesday morning. Haven't voted yet? Please do so today. Schaefer POTG, 06/01/2011: Pirates 9 Mets 3 Schaefer POTG 6/2/11 - Mets 9, Pirates 8
The next game Jose Reyes plays will be his 979th, which will tie him with Lee Mazzilli for 10th place on the Mets all-time list. 1. Ed Kranepool 1853 2. Bud Harrelson 1322 3. Jerry Grote 1235 4. Cleon Jones 1201 5. Howard Johnson 1154 6. Mookie Wilson 1116 7. Darryl Strawberry 1109 8. Edgardo Alfonzo 1086 9. David Wright 1043 10. Lee Mazzilli 979 11. Jos� Reyes 978 Second place on the At-Bats list is very much in reach for this season: 1. Ed Kranepool 5436 2. Bud Harrelson 4390 3. Cleon Jones 4223 4. Jos� Reyes 4151 5. Mookie Wilson 4027 6.

I haven't started one of these all year. Let's see if I have a winning streak in me. Today Dillon Gee, with a nice 5-0 record, faces off against Jair Jurrjens, with a much less impressive record of 7-1. (He lost a game! HAH!)

My vote is for Mackey Sasser. But Justin Turner definitely has a chance to unseat him. I'm already starting to wonder who Justin's Rookie-of-the-Year competition will be.

I had a baseball card prepared for Turner just in case; it was a very tight three-way race until close to the end. I wouldn't be at all surprised if I got to use that card before the year is out.
