Jose Reyes said Tuesday that he'll be "taking this year more seriously" by avoiding celebratory handshakes and other on-field antics that could upset opponents.

"I'm going to enjoy the game, but I'm not going to do the handshakes with the guys," Reyes said. "I don't want people to talk about that. I just want to play baseball. I want to take care of business on the field. When people see me in the dugout, and they see me not smiling, they'll be saying, 'What's wrong with Jose?' Nothing. I'm just going to be more serious this year."


Interesting...

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I want Jose to be serious, but I also want him to be smiling and having fun. I like it when everyone is in a good mood. Not that I want them to be crazy or cocky, but it just makes me happy to watch happy Mets.

I'm so fucking excited for this year!! I didn't think I would be considering how last year ended, but obviously the Santana trade helped and i'm all for Beltran taking a more leadership role...oh and Reyes should settle the fuck down, glad about that too..

Shouldn't Willie "The Disciplanarian" have put an end to this garbage years ago? I lost some respect for Willie when I heard that he went to see reyes and his family over the winter to patch things up over the benchings last year. uhhh, if you hit a grounder to third and stand in the box, and do it more than once, you should be benched. in fact you better be benched. The other players on the team, the guys who bust their asses on every play all year, surely take notice when someone loafs. the manager risks losing 24 guys to protect one. So much for Willie being old school

Apparently, Willie hasn't retained nearly as much of that persona as we would have expected. Omar must've rubbed off on him with that whole visiting players in the off-season stuff. He's turning into a kinder, gentler Willie before our eyes.

What's next? Ice cream breaks and nap-time between innings? A leather recliner in front of their lockers? Toughen-up, Willie.

Nope got the same. I'd say plan B is stubhub.com. I can't think of any other alternative.

I've had decent luck with craigslist throughout the last year or two.

Got the same message regarding those games as you two, but I figure there are a shit load of other games I'll attend instead..probably squeeze two or three out of one met/yank fiasco..

Just bought tickets to see Mets/Yankees in May with a couple of friends at Yankee stadium! Lets get on the one at Shea!

Mets are supposed to be taking on the University of Michigan today. Here's a live box score. Wolverines are going down!

Our hometown Seminoles are in Clearwater to take on the Phillies tonight. Here's hoping the 'Noles slide-in with spikes up!

What's the latest buzz about PJ touring through NYC this summer? That would make it easier for us to plan to come see a Mets game @ Shea.

Still nothing definite. Just lots of rumors for June, July, August...

Mets are tied with Michigan in the sixth. All the starters and pitchers have played sparingly for the Mets. Wolverines have yet to make a substitution in the field.

I know it's meaningless, but it's just fun to know that the Amazins are back on the diamond.

They are tied after nine innings. Will there be free baseball today?

That's gotta be pretty cool for the college kids who will never play pro ball, that they went into extra innings with a major league team (even if it is mostly, if not all, minor leaguers. Still cool)

You know what's great though. The Mets are gonna be better this year than last year, and Philly could only make the playoffs because of the Mets collapse, not because they were actually good. So, I would say this year you guys have no chance.
