Is Reyes hurt? Maybe but the cynic Mets fan that I am is they went around the bend to bench him for stupid baserunning but just can't come out and say it.<br /><br />Jose has been a big leaguer for 7 years time to take the training wheels off and be a man.kranepool societyhttp://www.kranepoolsociety.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-27940533691649348332009-05-15T15:52:00.000-04:002009-05-15T15:52:00.000-04:00i've been thinking about this a lot this last coup...i've been thinking about this a lot this last couple days. i'm sure he would thrive anywhere we traded him...but that doesn't mean he will grow to his potential here. he just doesn't seem to take anything seriously enough. and why would he? he's making millions of dollars to play a kid's game in the greatest city on earth. life is a party.<br /><br />he's been in the league six years. how long will it take for him to grow up?dykstrawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-10446713990722625382009-05-15T15:40:00.000-04:002009-05-15T15:40:00.000-04:00I don't think he was really benched last night.

But I do think that if the events of the past few days on the bases didn't occur, he would have been asked to play through whatever pain he had in that calf.<br /><br />How about the 3rd alternative?
