Jimmy Rollins behavior this season is inexcusable, not doubt about it. But that has absolutely nothing to do with Reyes. I don’t understand why everyone keeps saying stuff about Rollins in defense of Reyes. Just because Rollins doesn’t think he has to play 100% anymore doesn’t mean that Reyes isn’t a immature clown. Both Reyes’ and Rollins’ behavior is inexcusable.

And don’t give me that oh well Reyes is only 25 crap. I’m 25 and I know what’s appropriate and what isn’t. That is such a cop out load of bull by Mets fans. Just admit Reyes is an immature baby. I’ve admitted that Rollins is just mailing it in this year, see my post on it today.

The difference here is that I can admit the failings of my own team, but you Mets fans are so blinded that you see no fault in anyone that wears the ugly blue and orange. And my player’s faults are not an excuse for your player’s faults.

Give me a break.

at least jose reyes shows up on time and hustles (besides on incident last year, which as a 25 year old, not a 30 year old like rollins has learned from his mistakes) rollins is a big shot now since he won mvp. he had a great year last year and now hes back to the normal rollins. jose reyes is immature but who cares? chase utley says the F word on live television and you all know if reyes or wright said something like that they would get based like no other. if jose reyes is immature for celebrating when his team does something good, then utley is immature for cursing on live TV

I want to say for the record that this piece has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the Mets were unequivocally the better team this series. They played 26 innings better than the Phillies, and the Phillies had one. I readily admit that the Phils sucked this week and have no problems bashing them for it.

But Reyes is a joke. I think it’s so typical of Mets fans that they would defend his actions just because he’s one of your own. Pbausk is the kind of objective fan that you don’t often see. I am as hard on the Phillies as anyone.

Jimmy Rollins has been crap this year. He has followed up his MVP season by acting like he doesn’t need to show up and play 100%. He is the supposed leader of this team and yet can’t even run out routine ground outs and pop ups.

And Gozer you know full well this has nothing to do with our defeat. I would have posted that article whether the Phillies won that game or not. It’s absurd that you would defend Reyes.

When Reyes celebrates in the dugout or on the field it almost looks like its staged, but when David Wright made that slide into home after the Delgado double his emotion looked genuine. I have to kind of agree that Reyes is pretty annoying and a showboating tool, but i mean he did hit the 3 run homer to win the game, and the phillies need to take their frustration out on the braves and the marlins and Nats to win this division, because they may not take a series from the mets for the rest of the year…

This article is a disgrace, Philly fan boys. If you honestly have a problem with the way Jose acted today, id hate to be your friend. Dont get pissed every time the Phillies drop first, because its gonna happen alot.

The Mets have two World Series, exactly one more than the Phils. Not really all that impressive.

The Phils have lost more than any other team in sports history largely because they’ve been around longer than any other team other than the Cubs and Reds.

Gozer, who’s gloating now?

I’m well aware of the Phillies flaws, and I openly criticize them. I’ve never had a problem doing that. Mets fans seem to overlook a lot of their flaws in their team. How long will Fernando Tatis and Damon Easley win ball games for you? Talk about “what if’s”. When the Phillies got Feliz, I knew exactly what they were getting, and he’s matching his career stats this year. You don’t know what you’re getting out of Tatis or Easley. Hell, even Maine and Perez are hit and miss.

Greg- Before you start ripping Jamie Moyer, try using your head. He has more wins than 4 of your 5 rotation guys (he and Santana both have 9 wins), and has a better ERA than 3 of them. Way to work it through.

You deserve to gloat some, I’ll give you that, but you have a one game lead. You couldn’t protect a 7 with 17 left. Why would you feel remotely good about being up by one?
