[18] Reyes is a punk? Why, because he wants to win the batting title? Sounds more like he’s competitive. This kind of event is common throughout the history of batting titles. Check back.

The Mets have nothing to lose or gain. It’s a perfectly sound baseball decision. Read Braun’s quotes regarding the issue. He really sounds like a gentleman. His focus is on winning the game.

In any other kind of job, whether it’s window washing or writing a magazine article. When you finish enough to satisfy the requirements of the job and also meet your own (or the client’s) quality standards, you stop working.

[40] I got some AJ Relieve for my cough. Took it before going to sleep last night. What was I thinking? Of course, I crapped the bed.

[38] If he goes 3-for-4 and comes up again, the Pirates should IBB him. Or plunk him

[39] Root for him to pitch four perfect innings and then be lifted. The Rays will beat the daylights out of Proctor & Co. Best of both worlds!

Is it so wrong to root against Betances his first start? I was hoping Girardi would run Swisher out there to the mound tonight.

Just listened to Ryan Braun on PTI. If he’s 3-4 and gets a fifth AB, he’s going to bat. Hope he goes 4-5.

[30] The approximate reaction to the Barra article on the BBTF thread:

When did Allen Barra start sucking. I used to really enjoy his stuff.

[31] Well, they could have, back when Chen was passed through waivers.

They chose not to.

Oh well, it all worked out in the end.

I think Teddy Ballgame was the exception in this, as he was in so many categories!

I’m going to miss the first several innings, Go Go Betances!

[30] I know, it’s absurd. At the very least the Rays should have been able to block the trade by putting in a waiver claim — or however it works at this point in the season.

[25] Yeah, because it’s unlikely he’ll hit two more and it’s a little surprising that they’ll trust Lester with him, if you see what I mean. Or maybe I mean, that they’ll trust him with Lester.

[28] Can you imagine the outcry if they had managed to pick up a starter from elsewhere on the last day of the season?

Just read the Moneyball-takedown by Alan Barra..interesting. Havn’t seen the film but did not really enjoy the book as much as I had hoped.

From ESPN.com:

“An emotional [Mets manager Terry] Collins, fighting tears during his postgame media conference, said he worked hard in his first season at the Mets’ helm to earn his players’ respect and did not want to jeopardize it by not adhering to Reyes’ wishes.”

Wow, the inmates are running the asylum over there in Queens. I’m not sure which is more pathetic, crying in your post-game news conference or doing whatever dumb shit your players ask.

And later, Reyes says: “One thing I do all the time is give 100 percent on the field.”

You know, unless I don’t feel like playing any more and order the manager to take me out.

Truly unbelievable.

CSNNE.com’s Sean McAdam reports that the Red Sox have “given up” on trying to find a last-minute starter.Jon Lester will take the mound on Wednesday night against the Orioles. If the American League Wild Card then requires a tiebreaker, the Game 163 starter will come from within the Red Sox organization. Bruce Chen was a target for Boston, but he’ll be a Type B free agent this offseason and so the Royals decided to keep him
