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. It wasn't? The guy who threw the ball was a Mets fan on crutches, wearing a "Jose Reyes" tee shirt. If you're that upset the Mets are imploding in the final weeks of the season that you feel the need to throw things at players, stay home and throw things at the TV. Major League Baseball doesn't need your money.

  • I'm calling for a moratorium on all headlines that begin with, "Stay Classy". It the most overused phrase in the blogosphere. Anchorman is like 4 years old now.

Jose Reyes Dons Mets Turbin Beneath WBC Cap

As if he didn't already have a hard enough time putting his baseball cap on properly, it appears flamboyant Mets shortstop and Spanish tutor Jose Reyes is finding it even more difficult to wear his hat straight with an apparent (but thus far unconfirmed) conversion to Hindi.

Jose Reyes - He's No Jimmy Rollins…

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...

You make the call: Reyes out at home?

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.

MLB 2K8 Cover Athlete Revealed

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...

Who Has The Better Lineup, Phillies or Mets?

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...

Wright, Reyes Boosting Their Value

Last night against the Washington Nationals, David Wright and Jose Reyes showed not only why they are the cornerstones of the Mets, but why they remain two of the top fantasy players around. A lot of people have been down on Reyes since his horrific September slump, however after taking three days off to nurse some tightness in his hamstring, Jose-Jose-Jose returned with...

Jose Reyes Injures Hamstring - Fantasy Impact

Jose Reyes left Friday's game early with a hamstring injury. We provide an update on his injury and examine the fantasy implications.

This Season Root, Root, Root For Castillo

I know with this post I'm not going to be very popular with our readers. I was adamant this whole off-season of unloading Luis Castillo and signing Orlando Hudson. After last season I didn't want Luis Castillo anywhere near this team and was hoping against hope that the Mets would trade him or outright release him. Having said that I have come to accept the fact that Luis...

Reyes Batting Third Makes Sense

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, ...

Reyes, Reyes And More Reyes

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...

The Most Feared Hitter In The National League

To Mets fans Ralph Kiner has been one of the voices who has brought us both the highlights and lowlights throughout our team's history. He's been in the broadcast booth since 1962 and has witnessed everyone from Felix Mantilla and Don Zimmer to Jose Reyes and David Wright. Teamed with Lindsey ...

Why Not Fonzi?

Remember the good 'ole days when the New York Mets had "The Best Infield Ever" as described by a cover on Sports Illustrated?Remember who made up that infield?John Olerud, 1B; Edgardo Alfonzo, 2B; Rey Ordóñez, SS; and Robin Ventura, 3B. No other team could compete with that. The combination of number 13 and number 10 alone was incredible.How about bringing back some...

Beware of considering Castillo for the 9th Spot

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 ...

Evans never played 2B

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 ...
