Why you so dumb? <\/a>\u00a0Accused wife beater, Jose Reyes, given standing ovation and warm reception by fans at Citi Field in his first game back with the Mets.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, I understand fully why there are Mets fans that love Jose Reyes.\u00a0 Between 2006-2012, he was easily the most frighteningly good shortstop in the game.\u00a0 He hit .300 from both sides of the plate, he was always a threat for extra-bases, and if he got on base, stolen bases weren\u2019t a threat, they were expected.\u00a0 His speed was unmatched, and his range at shortstop was maddening as an opposing fan, when Reyes managed to somehow be absolutely anywhere the ball was hit.<\/span><\/p>\n Jose Reyes was unmistakably the most exciting player in baseball for a great part of his time with the Mets.\u00a0 It\u2019s easily understandable why Mets fans loved, and still have positive connotations with him.<\/span><\/p>\n However it\u2019s been a long time since 2012, when Jose Reyes won the batting title while on the Mets, before proclaiming his love for New York and then immediately signed a deal with the Miami Marlins, took his talents to South Beach, got traded to Toronto before getting traded to Colorado.\u00a0 Along that journey, he (allegedly but really did) beat the shit out of his wife in Hawaii, which ultimately led to him getting suspended by Major League Baseball, and cut by the Rockies. And since the Mets have no faith in crybaby Wilmer Flores<\/a> and are reliant on Asdrubal Cabrera to play shortstop, and David Wright hasn\u2019t been close to healthy since 2014, they decided to bring the prodigal son back to where his career started.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the fans cheered.\u00a0 For a guy who was once great on the Mets.\u00a0 For a guy who was available solely because he (allegedly but really did) beat the shit out of his wife and his former team wanted to distance themselves from such a character.\u00a0 But they cheered anyway, in Citi Field, because he used to be good at the game of baseball once upon a time.\u00a0 Not just cheered, they stood, and gave him the pinnacle of fan appreciation.\u00a0 A standing ovation, and on top of that, his old \u201cJose, Jose-Jose-Joseee\u201d chant.<\/span><\/p>\n Sorry, I don\u2019t agree with that, one bit.\u00a0 Jose Reyes is a wife beater, which means Jose Reyes is a piece of shit.\u00a0 I don\u2019t agree with cheering for, much less giving standing ovations to wife beaters, or pieces of shit.\u00a0 I get that Mets fans have a lingering appreciation for what he did on the baseball field, but a baseball player is still a temporary occupation of a man, but being a man is still a full-time gig.\u00a0 And once he strikes a woman, much less his wife, he\u2019s failing at being a man.\u00a0 That, does not deserve appreciation of any sort.<\/span><\/p>\n This may sound a little hypocritical, considering that I have been on the record stating Chris Benoit should not be stricken from the history annals of professional wrestling, because of the murder-suicide of his wife and child.\u00a0 Yes, I firmly stand on my belief that Chris Benoit was indeed a most talented wrestler, one whose body of professional work I appreciated and enjoyed a great deal.\u00a0 But I still stand strong on the stance that once he went off the handle and killed his wife and son, he became a piece of shit, no longer worthy of any sort of praise.<\/span><\/p>\n If he didn\u2019t kill himself, and somehow managed to avoid prison, and resume his career as a wrestler, and I were in attendance at a live event, and Chris Benoit came out, I wouldn\u2019t cheer for him, because I once thought his wrestling career was awesome.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t believe you cheer for pieces of shit that were once men.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, I\u2019ll add that former legendary Braves manager, Bobby Cox was once implicated in domestic abuse<\/a>; had his wife not vehemently denied all wrong-doing, I\u2019d be the first to admit that it would be really, really uncomfortable and deplorable to witness the love Bobby got from Braves fans throughout the remainder of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n And I don\u2019t think Jose Reyes is worthy of any sort of applause or ovation.\u00a0 And I think anyone who does, is being stupid, and needs to learn how to separate the game of baseball from the game of life.<\/span><\/p>\n When the day is over, it really doesn\u2019t matter what the Mets do.\u00a0 1986 be damned, and any other future World Series championships will always be secondary to the list of dumb shit the franchise has been known for, like Bobby Bonilla (happy belated Bobby Bo-day, btw!<\/em><\/a>), the Wilpons involvement in a Ponzi scheme, David Wright\u2019s concussion-proof helmet<\/a>, and their fans giving standing ovations to a known wife-beater.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the latter isn\u2019t even worthy of the infamous \u201cLOL Mets\u201d designation, because domestic abuse isn\u2019t something that\u2019s particularly funny.\u00a0 But because baseball is a cutthroat business that\u2019s more about making money than doing the right thing, Jose Reyes is employed and making millions of dollars, until his contract expires, or he grows a conscience and retires and forfeits his deal (which won\u2019t happen) despite the fact that he\u2019s a (alleged, but really is) wife beater.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why you so dumb? \u00a0Accused wife beater, Jose Reyes, given standing ovation and warm reception by fans at Citi Field in his first game back with the Mets.
