As if this team needs more drama, Bart Hubbuch at the New York Post revealed that the ever passionate/childish/firey/immature Jose Reyes and the king of non sequitur Keith Hernandez got into a heated discussion Sunday night while on the teams charter plane to St. Louis. No punches were thrown, but teammates separated the two just in case.

According to Hubbuch, Reyes, unhappy with Keith’s comments regarding his on field reaction to an error he made earlier in the night against the Yankees, confronted him after his family who had been watching the broadcast called Reyes before the flight to inform him of what was said. According to Reyes:

“A lot of people told me, and that’s no good,” Reyes told The Post. “I was mad at myself because I make an error in that situation. It makes me mad, because [Hernandez] played the game, too. He knows it is not an easy game. And he knows when you make an error, you are supposed to feel bad.”

During the game, Hernandez make some comments regarding the Mets treatment of Reyes as “babying” and felt it was “time to take off the kid gloves”. He defines what happened with Reyes later that night on the plane as a conversation, not a confrontation. Keith holds no issue with Reyes and says the two are fine.

Reyes, however, made it know that he is still angry, telling the Post ” “I don’t know why in that situation he’s talking like that”.

This is just ridiculous. At least it wasn’t between teammates, I guess. And this isn’t the first time a Mets player has had a problem with Keith. As Hubbuch noted, in 2002, Keith made comments about Mets having no heart which former catcher Mike Piazza took great offense to. I don’t know what’s going on with this team, but this should NOT be happening. I mean, I’m sorry, but in this case, Reyes just needs to get thicker skin. I agree at this point, GROW UP! Not everyone is going to be nice to you. Keith’s job is to comment on the game. He commented on the game. Get over it, Reyes.
