As reported by Matthew Cerrone on Metsblog, the main topic on WFAN this morning has been the way Jose Reyes reacted to a 3 run homerun that put the Mets ahead of the Phillies in a huge game.  What did Jose Reyes do?  He put his hand up in the air between first and second and then quickly ran around the bases.

I’m sorry, am I missing something here?  After months of fans complaining that this team lacked emotion or acted like the members on this team didn’t care if they won or lost, are we Mets fans really complaining about this?

Personally, I want Reyes pumping his fist.  Slapping his hands.  I don’t care if he moonwalks when coming to the dug out.  If Jose Reyes continues to put up these numbers, .297,.434, .335, and .845 (Avg, SLG,OBP, and OPS), this whole conversation shouldn’t even come up.  Who exactly are we afraid of offending?  The Phillies with a guy like Shane Victorino?  The fact of the matter is that this team NEEDS Reyes’ attitude and electricity.  The Mets need him to be happy and enthusiastic.

As for the Phillies and their announcers, what did you clowns say with Victorino’s clap in Reyes’ face on Tuesday night?  The Phillies are the same fans by the way with the class to literally attack Mets fans at Philadelphia no matter the age.  Plus they have a mutant freak for a mascot.

So I say to Jose Reyes, you be you.  You clap, dance, heck do the moonwalk to home plate when playing the Phillies.  You have one Mets fan that doesn’t mind and will probably cheer you on as you do so.  You be you Reyes, and when the Mets win this division I don’t think anyone will care anyway.
