You've got to love this game

5th inning, Maine's throwing a no-hitter, Mets are piling on runs, and now the first bench clearing brawl I can remember.

Just as a side-note, the Mets announcing crew is so down on Reyes. They wanted him benched for not running out the ground ball (as did 80% of respondents from their cell phone text message poll), then rode him for laughing and joking with Lindstrom while the teams nearly got into a bench clearing brawl. Then, after his gesture did set off a scrum when Olivo charged Reyes, it was interesting to see Reyes meekly vanish into a Cabrera bear-hug while the other 40 guys on the field were ready to rumble. It's like the "don't care too much club" with Reyes and Cabrera. Not the "they pay me whether we win or not" club like Cabrera, and more and more, like Jose.
