Note: Where is Jose Reyes?
Mets SS Jose Reyes has just three hits in his last 25 at-bats, two of which were home runs that came in the same game.
The Mets have scored just three runs in their last 17 innings.
In the Daily News, John Harper quotes a member of the Mets organization as saying…
“It’s a must for us that (Reyes) gets something going this weekend. He takes so much pressure off everybody else in the lineup when he gets on base.”
…pressure…i think that’s the problem, actually…go back and watch the final out from last night, check out the 
look on jose’s eyes, as he sat on the top step, biting his nails and looking at the field…i mean, he looks like a complete nervous wreck…and i don’t blame him…for two years now, all he has been hearing is, ‘As Jose goes, the Mets go,’ or, ‘He’s the spark,’ or, ‘the engine,’ and so on…hell, even his fellow players and manager talk about him this way…i can’t help but wonder if it’s all starting to get to him, since if the team is struggling, and he’s the ‘engine,’ then he’s the one man who must get them out of this, which is totally unfair…obviously, he should not feel this way, but i would understand if he does…because, what was once a simple slump, may now actually be him crumbling beneath the pressure…
