Note: Jose Reyes still Trying to Play in 2009
According to Peter Botte of the Daily News, “Jose Reyes refuses to give up, even if he makes it back for just the final game of the regular season on Oct. 4.”
Botte says Reyes hit in the indoor batting cage yesterday, and will again try to run the bases this weekend.
To hear from Reyes, who talks about his work to get back from the disabled list, as well as remarks from ‘some people,’ who say he doesn’t want to play, check out Botter’s report.
…i don’t recall any one saying reyes doesn’t want to play… and i read, listen and watch more or less every bit of content about the Mets that is available…
…i once said people close to reyes worry he is afraid to push it, for fear of making the injury worse… but, i don’t ever recall anyone, from talk radio to to television to text media, saying he would rather sit on the sidelines than be on the field with his teammates…
…and, frankly, jose, who cares… seriously… New York is about production… it’s about getting things done… so, the best way to shut people up is to get back and perform, be it this season or next spring… it’s that simple… sing, dance, hit triples, steal bases and win, and nobody will remember the injury, let alone when or why you did or didn’t return from the disabled list…
