| BRONX, NY - Oh boy, we can just hear the grumblings emanating from Flushing now -They are killing us in Corona! Yet, we stand firmly behind the not-so-subtle inference of this post's headline: Yankee Joe, that omniscient fan of the Bronx Bombers, hit the proverbial nail on the head yesterday when he said that Jose Reyes deserved to be an All-Star, even at that the expense of David Wright. What’s more, Reyes has much better stats than either Christian Guzman or Miguel Tejeda, the two backups to starter Henley Ramirez. In fact, after comparing their stats with “Hip, Hip” Jose’s, we put a call into Oliver Stone re his researching this palpable conspiracy. Reyes has put up MVP caliber numbers, yet he wasn’t even considered for the Midsummer Classic. Why??? Can anybody tell us? He is hitting .302. The only one of the aforementioned with a higher average is Guzman at .317. His OBP is second only to Wright. He is tops in this group with 32 stolen bases, 67 runs scored and 10 triples. He is second in hits with 117. He has 23 doubles and get this, 41 RBI from the leadoff spot. Ladies and germs, these are stellar statistics.! Why in the name of Frank Taveras isn’t the guy in the bleepity game!?! If David Wright is an All-Star, Senor Reyes deserves to in there right next to him. Miguel Tejada? Puh-lease. So, who’s to blame, you ask? Well, uh… Um… You see… Uh… Well - we are. That’s right, all of us New York fans that DIDN’T stuff the ballot boxes. We failed our guy. Moreover, the cities of Houston and Washington, D.C. spanked us. They got their lousy shortstops in the game and we didn’t. Ugh. Even Uggla made it. What’s worse is that we all must now admit the awful truth: Yankee Joe was right…. Rex O’Rourke tomorrow. P.s… You’d help us out enormously by having your home page set to our site. Getting others to do the same would also be greatly appreciated. It’s all about numbers while we’re in talks for a show. “The Man” wants to see hits on the site and that would do the trick. THANK YOU. |

| Matts, you're wright on the money with this. Hats off to Yankee Joe for making this oversight on our part an issue. There would be no 7 game surge without Jose, end of story. Great work by Cookie yesterday. It was good to have the Phanatic back in the mix. |

| Cookie and Jose are allstars! It is disgraceful that we dont get to see one of the most exciting players in baseball in the allstar game. I would even understand Jimmy Rollins getting in just because he was the MVP. Your right about guzman and tejada - its a joke. |

| Tejada is hitting .276 with only 1 more HR than Reyes in the little league park in Houston. He also did steroids. No way he should be there. Reyes was right in the middle of the win last night with the big hit. |

Thanks Ed... thanks Denise.
I am sure YJ is going to love the props you Matts gave him here. I still want to know why Mussina isn't on the AL roster and yet we're filthy with closers. Makes no sense. |
