2011 MLB Season

[gunnar hendershow]

Well everyone, don't get your hopes up for that epic Boston collapse just yet. My boys seem poised to disappoint everyone tomorrow night.

Of course there's meaningful baseball in September in Baltimore and I have to be at work during the game.

[The Buscher]

Jose Reyes bunts for a single in the 1st inning, then pulls himself out of the game to angry boos. 90% of the fans who went to today's game went just to watch Reyes for likely the last time.

Batting title or not...that's a dick move.

You can't really blame him since none of the Mets know how to win anything.

People are going to kill him because it is Reyes and it is the Mets but Braun will pull himself out of the game if he is in a position to clinch the batting title. Guys pull themselves out or stay out of the lineup at the end of the season all the time.

If you buy tickets for the end of the season to run the risk of not seeing the stars. Is it fair? No. But it happens all the time in all sports.

The fans still have a right to be pissed off seeing that this is probably the last game he'll play for the Mets, though.

They do but fans hung around after the game to give him a curtain call. He's never been a selfish player. He plays hard. He gave them a ridiculous discount on his last contract. If it was someone with a history of being selfish I might think otherwise.

[Meacon Keaton]

Mets fans don't need much of a reason to be pissed off, either, I suppose.

Great night of baseball ahead. Simon just touched 102 on the radar gun in the first inning. Sox might have a tough time against a guy with a sinker like Simon has. I can't imagine New York putting up too much of a fight against the Rays knowing they can potentially oust the Sox from the playoff picture.

I didn't watch the game so I don't know how loud the boos were. I heard about the curtain call while driving home as the post game show had just started on WFAN. I haven't checked to see if the rest of the NY media is attacking Reyes too or if it was just Francesa trying to stir things up.

[Lowerdeck]

This is a strange day, where I want the Yankees to win... for once.

[Pizza]

It'd be hilarious if the Yankees threw the game.

[Lowerdeck]

Don't look like it so far...

[Meacon Keaton]

Giardi won't throw a game just to spite the Red Sox. If it was a fan or the media in charge, sure. But Giardi wants to win.

[gunnar hendershow]

Well Tampa's certainly not holding up their end of the deal. And from the sound of it Simple Simon looks ready to break out at any moment and give the Sox an easy 3 or 4 runs to clinch the WC.

Sorry guys. Baltimore can't do anyting right.

Not too sure about Braun. The Brewers actually are playing a game they must win if they want a chance at having the #2 seed and home field advantage.

I do hope this wasn't the way Reyes' Mets career ends. It's been a thrill watching him for 7 and a half years. However, with the Mets payroll decreasing I'm not sure that Alderson will be willing to spend $20 million a year on any one player. Some Mets fans called in today saying they wanted the Mets to go after Fielder and move Ike Davis to right field. Yeah right.

[Blitz]

So far it's looking like Atlanta and St. Louis will meet tomorrow for a one game playoff.

[Evil Chase K]

Braun is 0-for-1.

I let him get two hits and then walk him the rest of his at-bats.

Fuck that guy.

EDIT: Nevermind, we won't have to. He screwed himself.

No batting title for Braun.

Yeah, I'm not a Mets fan but I want to see him stick around here. I love the way he plays the game. I would love for the Angels to go after him but I don't see it happening. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he did return to New York though. I could see him giving them a home town discount. He seems to love playing here and living here for that matter.

And now it's time for the vicious thunderstorms, we'll see you in a few hours.

Baltimore can't do anything right.
