Funny after game 6 of the world series you come here and made a list of Cardinal and Ranger players who were clutch or unclutch if there’s even such a word and in your list of Cardinal and Ranger player included David Wright’s name in the unclutch column who was home watching on TV but if someone points out how happy they are that Reyes is playing like shit you throw a little hissy fit. Even though he’s the enemy. Hipocrisy at it’s finest. If the roles were reversed you would be the 1st guy to comment about Wright sucking with his new team.

Alan, i will say this. This website has some good writers, people who do a good job being objective, others make all of us waste our time sometimes by posting garbage as* articles. But that’s nor here nor there.. But if you go back the past 5 or 6 days you’ll see a bunch of articles praising wright, tejada and alderson at the expense of jose reyes.. If he’s the enemy, why so many articles are being written taking shots at him? we keep getting told not to talk about reyes because he’s a marlin, yet, those same people keep writing articles about reyes this and reyes that! what exactly did reyes do? there was no offer from the small market sabergoon of GM we have, what was reyes supposed to do? sandy i play for free because you’re a genius? That’s what’s really irritating me… I LOVE jose reyes, but not once i have come up with did y’all see what reyes did last night? did y’all see the marlins? but no, the same people who love wright are the ones sh**** on reyes like crazy… Notice how craig lerner, delcos and jesseP are the ones harping on all the time about it.. It’s pathetic and downright sad…

Despise??? Seriously. all you groupies need to get some sort of life.. I hear there’s a truck full of DW’s fans outside of SNY putting a petition to the mets to make DW captain of the team despite his Chokecomings…

Not only you’re a joke.. But you’re also a liar… OR unemployed.. You only come here to somehow try to attack reyes and what he does, good luck to you in your pathetic life 45.. It’s my faullt for engaging with someone with no credential in this site, as soon as i saw you attacking bayonne for telling the truth about wright i figure you’re one of his groupies and leave it alone from the get go.. Don’t bother even writing anything back to me, i won’t even reply to your stupidity

I know it’s a shame when fans don’t support their own and actively root for other players on other teams besides the Mets… I can’t think of anyone who does that with Hanley and Wright.

So I guess Alex is at the gates of Citifield every night and knows just how many games I go to a year. I really get a kick out of how you, even in a thread about last years World Series game 6, bring up Wright’s name as a choker but if other Met fans don’t some how suck Reyes’ cojones you take it all personal, as if we’re insulting you or your family. And for your information I was a season ticket holder for many years until I moved out of state a few years ago and I still make 3-4 trips to NYevery summer always scheduling my trips around a Met homestand so don’t act like you know how many games I go to. Amazing how you despise one choke artist who’s on your team but you cream yourself over the other choke artist who’s not even a Met anymore. Hilarious!

To remember Jose Reyes is to see him heading towards second base and then watching him find that extra gear that has him sliding head first into third base…. He was acknowledged last night but he is now the enemy as it should be.

It’s business folks!

This website is beginning to be ridiculous. The article by Mr. Delcos is very good. No doubt that Jose was going to test the FA market and there was no doubt that the Mets could not sign him to the kind of dollars he would be asking for. NOT WITH HIS INJURY HISTORY!

The game has become a business and I personally agree with the decision. I’ll miss Jose Reyes as he was the most dynamic player in the game but he was not going to be able to put the team in the playoffs!

The bottom line is…..why bring David Wright into the conversation

So now you have to go to many games to be able to have an opinion around here?

I go to 20+ games a year and what Reyes did was a pansy ass move and the fact that you continue to whine about it shows what little you know about the game, and how Reyes is bigger than the Mets.

Lets see how many times today you will bring up about a 1st out strikeout in the bottom of the 9th of a tie game when your boy could have driven in a run from 3rd in the bottom of the 8th instead of grounding out weakly to short to end the inning and the threat. Yeah because that is exemplary citizenship.

What really gets to me, is when guys like Fonzie and JesseP who rarely never go (if at all) go to games are so bent out of shape for reyes taking himself out… But jesseP is on full on defensive mode for a guy who takes steroids, lies about it, then somehow beats the system and throws the doctor under the bus, then is busted again and it’s all good.. That good is an exemplary citizen.. Pathetic

I’ll remember him for walking off the field for a pinchrunner to win a batting title, denying the fans who came to see him for the last time a chance to give him a proper sendoff. I’ll remember him being MIA down the stretch 2 straight choke years. I’ll remember that day in LA in 2010 when he wasn’t paying attention and let a groundball go by him without reacting to it and allowing runs to score. I’ll remember all the bonehead baserunning mistakes and big errors at the most crucial times. I’ll remember a guy who waited until his walk year to play his best. When I think of Jose I think of one of the most frustrating eras in Met history.

As somebody who took himself out of game 162 to preserve an individual achievement, when he could have ran the bases and played the field for a few more innings before ever having a chance to negatively impact his batting title.

When it comes to Jose Reyes, all he cared about was Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose!

As the best SS we ever had, but let the fans down on his last at bat as a player without taking himself out of game properly. As a player the team did not want to resign for whatever reason they had.

I have already forgotten him.

I’m booing him. To me, there is no other option. He is in his prime, he is still one of the best shortstops in the game, and he plays for the enemy. It would have been different if he signed for an American League time in the Central Division. In that case, he would have removed himself from everything and started a new career, and by the time he would play the Mets again, the fans, including myself, would have moved on. But, because he stayed in the division, and signed with a team that I think most Mets fans hate, it’s not gonna be pretty. I don’t understand people who say they are gonna cheer him, why? Sure he played more then well with the Mets, one of the best players when he was playing on the team, sure he won a batting title as a Met, but we did not win with him. Sure he was one of the most loveable and one of the most liked as a Met, but those days are over now, it ended when he signed with the enemy. So, I hope he’ll understand that when he hears the reaction tonight at the game, because now, he is no longer with us and IS the enemy

what exactly was last year’s level though? I for one don’t expect him to hit .330+ again (or whatever exactly it was).

so take that back down to a more career norm .280ish, and he did not do all that much last season, and it was really a tale of 2 halfs. July on, he was out, or playing poorly, until the last couple of weeks where he had a hot stretch.

so, what are you expecting? 1st half? 2nd half? an average?

i will remember him as a player who hits, gets triples and steals . And i also will forever remember how good the replacement(tejada) played and that for way less money . oh and as a young guy who has time to improve. Reyes is going nowhere from here, maybe 2-3 years at his last year level, then its going down

I hate the phillies.

But you knew that already.

Hamels will of course be fun to watch. Hard to imagine a $74mill rotation, that still needs 2 more SPs to round it out!

Their next big decision will be Victorino after this year, though I have no idea if there will be much of a market for him. So far, ponying up a long term/big $ deal for Rollins has not been looking great.

Not sure if Pence is a PA after this year, or if they have another year of control on him. But if he is a FA, another guy that won’t be cheap.

My WAG is that it all hinges on Hamels. If they sign him, vicky at least has to go. But when Hamels signs with the Yankees, they will spend the money locking up more old guys.

No doubt. That is where I do agree with Alex that Reyes and Wright felt too much pressure after that collapse in 2007. No 2007 collapse and we are most likely looking at things much differently now.
