Reyes actually had fewer extra-base hits in August than he had in September, even fewer in May, and a lousy 317 OBP in July. Basically he had two good months out of four. If you want to cherry-pick Reyes's numbers, instead of ignoring September (as Noble suggests) and seeing what you get, why don't you ignore April and see what you get? 267/338/390. 61 SB, 18 CS. Not nearly good enough. Noble is completely wrong that Reyes had a bad September, and that’s it.

The only time he brought god into it was when he was talking about his reasons for 'telling the truth.' He didn't 'hide behind' god. I don’t think he was “hiding behind” anything.
