Reyes

is a candy-ass b*tch.

Can't wait for him to sign somewhere else and get the hell off our island.

What a shame that Cleon, Mex, Wally, Nails, or Johnny Slow Balls never won a batting title first, so that Josie wouldn't have to be remembered forever as the answer to some key Mets trivia.

Congrats on winning your batting title, Josie. And doing it as a coward and a pussy. Ted Williams is giggling his ass off at your girlie "take me out in the first inning" bullshit.

Jose, Jose, Jose. This guy saved his best for his walk year. A meaningless year for the team from a W's and L's perspective, a year where there was no chance of competing for championship. He saved his best for getting himself paid. And I'm sure he'll be taking the best offer--no hometown discount here.

Why couldn't he have brought this kinds of focus to the table in '06, '07, or '08, when it might have helped the Mets win one or more titles? Back in the glory days, when Jose was too busy uppercutting and free swinging his way to an OBP that was .005 higher than his BA. When he was more interested in practicing his on the field pat-a-cake routine with Delgado and Beltran than playing baseball. When he wanted to engage in a knifefight with his gangster manager instead of taking his manager's damn instructions.

No, this clown has been given a free pass, even adored, by many Mets fans because he's "home grown." F*ck that. He's got a great smile, great wheels, and lots of talent. And until now, hasn't been able to leverage them.

His career will have a short shelf life, and he's no doubt at his peak right now. His wheels won't last long. He's injury prone, and strikes me as the kind of player who'll sit out a few extra games rather than rush to get back in the lineup. He'll probably average 90 games a year for the remainder of his career. Whether that's 4 or 7 years, who knows?

What I do know is that some team is going to have to sign him for too much money and too many years, and I'm going to have fun laughing at the sucker who does it. Even if they squeeze two more good years out of him, he'll still be the same old cancer clubhouse. Rallying the opposition. Ducking the media. Douching between innings.

I look forward to seeing what Sandy can do with the compensatory picks.
