Baby's Got Back

First of all it is great to see that jeezy has learned basic grammar skills in 22 years of life.

Second, I must say there is a stark difference between Joba fist pumping and Jose Reyes throwing his glove down in frustration after his teammate drops a catchable ball. Joba's fist pumps are done after he strikes someone out. This is an act of jubilation and passion, if you will.

There is no way around it, Reyes was clearly frustrated with Delgado for not making the play. Granted his throw could have been better but a major league 1b should be able to make that play.
The "passion" he displayed during his new managers first inning was indeed NOT passion. It was him being immature and clearly showing that he thinks he is above the team. I'm all for arguing to stay in the game if it stops at that, but it didn't he kicked the dirt and threw his helmet like a child and gave the impression that he thought the manager had no right taking him out of the game, which is ludicrous because that's the guys' job. So please the hate you are talking about sir is that is perceived that the Yankees can do whatever they like and the Mets get ridiculed for everything. Them's the perks of being the Kings of NY.

You can throw all the stats that you want about Reyes and how he is a great talent, which he is, but what happens when he looses a little bit of that blinding speed? Has he shown the metal toughness that he can draw upon when he can no longer get by on skill?

BTW.

Hey Melky, you might want to start hitting the ball because Mr. Gardner is here. Cash has said that he's not here to sit on the bench and you know Abreu and Damon are shoe-in at the corner spots, (except for the occasional day at DH to rest his legs) so where does that leave you. I'll be the first to admit that you're numbers have dropped like a 13 year old kids testicles and if your name came up in any trade discussions for top of the line starters, I might not be so heartbroken. Your best attribute is your D. You prance through CF like you've been playing there your whole life, but word is Gardner can too and even though he doesn't have the arm you have, which is way down the checklist for things a CF should have, you still better start hitting like you were in April.
