I doubt Reyes was doing much handshaking with Aaron Sele and Brian Lawrence over the last three weeks.

My major problem was that he made a point of showing up Delluci, even though Delluci had gotten him so much worse the day before. That is what made him look like such an asshole in my mind. Goose is right about the Mets. It would make me a happy man if Reyes never did another one of his gay fucking handshakes.

K-Rod points to God between every pitch. Sammy Sosa hopped and curtsied his way around the bases 600+ times. Baseball players are so sensitive and are always so worried about being shown up. If I would have included this passage from the article, would you have agreed with me?: "But there's no one to pass the torch anymore, no one to teach the young kids how to act. The Mets did a lot of that [celebrating] last year, and look how it came back to haunt them." Joba acts like this all the time, even at Nebraska. K-Rod points to God between every pitch.

Joba gave up an enormous home run to Delluci, then struck him out with no one on and up three. He acted like he won the World Series after k'ing Delluci and it was very obvious that Joba felt like he got him back, which was far, far from true. Joba looked like a total fucking asshole and Delluci and Goose are right to call him out. He can come pitch for the Mets if he wants, though. I completely agree with Goose, except for the Holier
