Reyes: Player of the Week… Again
I don’t think my praise of Jose Reyes yesterday had anything to do with this but Reyes was named NL Player of the Week yesterday. It was the second week in a row he won the award. The first time he shared it with teammate David Wright. Ths time he gets it solo and it’s […]
Reyes is Also a Deity
A couple of weeks ago I praised David Wright. He’s been great all year and gets better every time I watch him. Now it’s Jose Reyes‘s turn. He had two consecutive 4 hit games this weekend, has had 4 hit games in 3 of the last 4 and has a 13 game hit streak going […]

Wright is a Deity
The more I see of David Wright the more I like him. Wright is quickly ascending the ladder to sainthood in my mind. His game last night added some brownie points in his favor. I turned on the game in the third inning and watched as Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado homered to give the […]
