Jose Reyes spoke with WFAN’s Eddie Coleman right after yesterday’s Mets win against the Phillies.

Reyes on the win,

“Its never easy against the Phillies we got the first two games here and the series so, it’s a real good feeling for us.”

Asked about Jose’s leadoff double to start the game,

“I know I gotta get on base. So I said to myself before the game I am gonna swing at the first pitch if it’s gonna be middle in. So, I hit a double. It was great to start us off right there.”

Reyes on his home run,

“I didn’t try to hit the ball out. I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit, drive in a run.
But I have enough power to hit it out over the wall so it’s a good thing for us.”

On the Phils coming back in the game,

“Like I said before it’s never easy against the Phillies there are so tough. They have a good team but we are so happy to take the first two games of the series.”

On the celebrating:

“Yeah, it felt great. I miss that, not doing that for the first couple of weeks of the season. So now I’m gonna be back to doing the same exact thing I did last season, it’s a really great feeling for me and a great feeling for everyone in this dugout.”

When Eddie C. ended the interview saying he thinks everyone else in New York likes the way Jose celebrates, Eddie said “so keep it up,” Reyes replied, “OK Papa” …Classic.
