Give it a rest

By "it" I mean Reyes.. I can only assume that he's getting tired down the stretch, otherwise it's hard to see how he got picked off twice last night and suddenly couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with his bat. His #s over last 4 games (including 0-3 so far today in 4th inning) are 1-15 (.067), and over his last 11 games including today he's 10-48 (.208) with only 3 BBs. Either he's mired in one hideous slump, or he's tired. I'm guessing the latter, I'd say give him a rest after the Braves series (he's played well against them this year). Give him at least one or two nights off, and start giving him and Wright some breaks heading into October. We simply can't have a .200 avg and less than .250 OBP leading off every game.

Nice to see billy wagner's meltdown continuing. Really coming through strong down the stretch. Also nice to see Delgado waste a massive opportunity in top of 8th by grounding out weakly.

With the exception of Wright, this team is pathetic top to bottom right now.
