Am I Insane? I Miss Many Players But Not Reyes

SS

,

The Reyes news doesn't bother me.  I know I'm counter-culture on this and I will be called names...but Reyes being out just doesn't bother me as much as some of the other injuries.  Alex Cora bothered me more.  

When Cora got hurt it was like "whoa, now who's going to play?"   When Angel Pagan gets hurt I worry "whoa, now who's going to play?"   A summer of Tatis at third (or I guess Murphy might go there since it was his real position) would sadden me.

As I've said many times, I know y'all think Reyes walks, steals two bases and scores a run on a sac fly in every at bat where he doesn't hit a triple, but I just don't see it.   Good player, sure.  Great player, no way.  Reyes without speed won't have much "game."

Fiend of mine last night said that when he pictures Reyes he pictures him in a black Mets jersey.  When he pictures Wright he pictures him in a blue hat and Mets pinstripes.  If you've spent time on this blog you probably get the vibe of what he was saying, and I think he's right.

I'm not going to freak if Reyes is out.   I don't expect you to agree.

Before my fellow bloggers start the "sign Tom Glavine" stuff.  Don't.

Here's some helpful reminders...

You can say you don't miss Reyes, whatever, that's your opinion. But to say that Cora or Pagan are more valuable to the team than Reyes? That I think might qualify for insane.

I second your friends thoughts. When I picture Reyes in my head, I too see him in a black Jersey. When I picture Wright, I see him in a white jersey. The type the Mets should always be wearing...

"Reyes without speed won't have much game"

Neither would Johan without a change-up, Delgado without power, Beltran with one leg, Wright without eyes, Frankie without pitching. You get the point. you're a moron

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to cover sports.

I picture Reyes wearing a white jersey covered in dirt (from sliding). He is the most exciting player in baseball. It's electric every time he's running the bases or on base.
