With Ozzie leaving the Windy City, what will the papers and radio jocks do?

Continue to pretend the Bears are contenders.

Mets exercise Terry Collins option for 2013. He's done a bang up job with that hes had this year. Love to see what he could do with a decent pitching staff.

Jose Reyes leaves Citi Field today, in what may be his last appearance as a Met, to a chorus of boos. Why? Well, he bunted for a hit in his first at-bat, raising his average to .337057, or 2 1/2 points above Milwaukee's Ryan Braun for the NL lead. He was then lifted for a pinch-runner, and went into the dugout, to the total disappointment of the partisan crowd, who likely came to this otherwise meaningless drizzly afternoon game for the sole purpose of watching Reyes fight for that honor.

Exactly 70 years ago today, on September 28 1941, Ted Williams started the first of a double-header and got a hit in his first at-bat to lift his average to a lofty .400. He then continued to play the remainder of both games, went 6-for-8 on the day, and finished at .406 for the last season he had before a pair of wars put a crimp in his career. Even a Yankee fan like me can't deny, here was a man.

I shall not disparage Reyes for what happened today, yet I will admit I would be delighted if Braun goes 5-for-5 tonight, and takes that narrow "victory" away from Jose.

I am completely with you on that one, Thomas, and I am not even a Ryan Braun fan.

Reminds me of 86, when Boggs sat the last 4 games against the Yanks, to beat Mattingly for the batting crown.

Shame on Reyes, and shame on Terry Collins!

kelmac07 · 09-28-2011, 06:10 PM

Being a Mets fan...I am completely torn on this one. While I want to see Reyes become the first Met to win a batting title...I respect the game enough to wish he did it the right way. He should have played the entire game, as he was 4-5 lifetime against the Volquez. In true Mets fashion and a typical ending to this disaappointing season...Braun will go 4-4 to snatch the title away from Reyes.
