The Daily News reports that following Jose Reyes' insubordination toward Jerry Manuel when the shortstop didn't want to leave the game after tightening a hammy, the new Mets skipper decided to go all gangster.
"I told him next time he does that I'm going to get my blade out and cut him. I'm a gangster. You go gangster on me, I'm going to have to get you. You do that again, I'm going to cut you right on the field."

With Jerry Manuel giving out this absolutely fantastic quote today, what's the over/under on blogs that post something strikingly similar to this poster below? I'm going to go with 100 and I think I'm being conservative.

The New York Mets continue to try and challenge the Knicks for the title of most dysfunctional team in New York. A day after firing manager Willie Randolph, Jose Reyes is making his own headlines by throwing a tantrum in Anaheim.
After leading off the game with a single, Reyes appeared to be walking a little gingerly around the first base bag. Interim manager Jerry Manuel (no...

Some idiot (Yeah, I called him an idiot. While I don't like to judge others, the stunt this guy pulled is deserving of idiot status.) at last night's Mets/Marlins game in Miami thought it was a good idea to hurl a baseball onto the field, hitting relief pitcher Aaron Heilman on the forearm. Initially you'd think that it was a classless Marlins fan messing with the opposition...

Watch the replay below of the supposed game-winning run scored by Jose Reyes. Did Chris Coste tag him before he touched the plate? Looking at the slow motion replay in the clip, I think it's close, but I really don't see Reyes touching the plate at all.

Dear Jerry,
Congratulations on your recent promotion to manager of the New York Mets. I have already said a prayer for you and I will be sure to light a candle for you on Sunday as well.
You probably have already been warned about staying on Tony Bernazard's good side, and going to the SNY Gift shop and loading up on Loudmouths T-shirts and an SNY cap to wear...

Bulletin board material falling on deaf ears
Mets shortstop Jose Reyes arrived in Port St. Lucie today and responded to Cole Hamels "choke artist? comment, which was made Dec. 11 on New York's WFAN radio. ?We don?t worry about Philly,? Reyes said. ?I don?t know why they worry so much about the New York Mets. They can talk about whatever they want to, because we worry about us. They are the one to win the World Series...

The Phillies are the defending champs and until the Mets prove otherwise, the Phillies are still the team to beat.
That said, it's a new year and the slates are wiped clean.
I am going to do a four part series that takes a look at at the lineup, rotation, bullpen and bench, of the Mets and their current division nemesis, the Phillies.
Here are the projected lineups based on information...

As seen on NY Mets GlobalJoseph Del Grippo of Bleacher Report had an interesting article yesterday about why Jose Reyes is best suited to bat third. Among his biggest reasons were the facts that Luis Castillo has a better obp than Jose, he has led the team in hits each of the last three years, ...

I just read a great piece by Ben Shpigel of the New York Times. He discusses how Jerry Manuel views Jose Reyes as one of the emerging leaders on the team.
Jerry Manuel sees no need to designate a captain when he has a capable group of players policing the Mets' clubhouse. That leadership core includes David Wright, Johan Santana, Carlos Delgado and Carlos Beltran. According...

Luis Castillo has been true to his word, he came to camp in great shape and on healthy knees his range is decent at 2B. So now instead of getting rid of him people are discussing what to do with him. Jerry Manuel has considered batting him lead-off but with Jose Reyes playing in the WBC ...

I completed a post the other day, I might add purely speculation in which I pondered whether the Mets were considering moving Nick Evans to 2B. Jose Reyes and David Wright will anchor the left side of the infield for several years to come and there has been some talk of Dan Murphy moving to 1B ...
