Jose Reyes Responds to Stupid Questions with Common Sense

Per Rubin:

When asked if he thought hitters' struggles at Citi Field would make free agents think twice before signing on with the Mets, Reyes scoffed. "If you’re a hitter, you’re gonna hit," Reyes said. "You can hit here."

I can't stand this guy.

You can just tell he’s an arrogant prick who doesn’t care about anything but himself. The Mets should have traded him years ago. They’d be lucky to get a bag of balls for him now that everyone knows how he can’t play the game the right way.

That was my impression of a WFAN caller. How was it?

You should have mentioned the Mets' latin bias, lack of grit and no desire to win.

Oh and capital letters.

hahaha

that’s been the best criticism of reyes i’ve heard. literally on wfan a few days ago someone called in upset that “that damn reyes is always bouncing around the dugout with a smile on the face”

haha yup

imagine the players that fans should apparently hate now because they enjoyed the game too much.

There's no smiling in baseball!

AA should hire piazzafan83

He’s got some good insight.

I like it when players are dismissive of stupid questions. I frankly don’t know how they put up with the constant onslaught of moronic sports writers.
