Mets pick up Terry Collins' 2013 option.
I like him, but I find the idea of a "lame duck" manager to be stupid, particularly in NY where there will be pressure to fire the manager if the team is terrible whether they have a contract for 2013 or not. Hopefully Wally Backman can wait another couple of years before taking the reigns. |

I know most of us are bouncing back and forth between Rays/Yanks & Red Sox/O's. But anybody watching the ESPN 30 for 30 flick on Bartman right now? Pretty good stuff.

Had a dream the other night that Verlander lost the MVP voting to *GASP* Derrick Jeter because of New York bias. Kind of bizarre. Also, I must be a huge loser for dreaming about that.

Seriously though, if Verlander loses to Granderson, I will murder fools.
Also, the Tigers are winning the AL, so the rest of you can just go home now. |

Bad news for Sox fans, Yanks are going with a committee start with everyone who didnt pitch today and isn't on the postseason roster.
Scott Proctor will see playing time tomorrow. |

The Yankees better tank it on purpose tomorrow. Why wouldn't they? Best case scenario, they knock the Red Sox out of the playoffs. Worst case scenario, the Sox and Rays have to play an extra game and mess up their rotations.

Yankees aren't going to go all-out tomorrow, from the looks of things, AND David Price will start for the Rays.
The Red Sox are going to have Lester start for them, but the Orioles have played the Sox really tough. I'd say either the Rays win and the Red Sox lose, or they both win and we'll have a one game playoff on Thursday (which the Rays should also win...I just don't think the Red Sox would be able to face that type of an energy, like the Rays bring). |

Wonder if the way the playoff scenarios worked out this year will convince MLB to not add a 2nd Wild Card. If that were the case, yesterday and today's games would be utterly pointless because the one-game playoff would take place no matter what.

Mets fans who called into Craig and Boomer were ridiculous, assuming the Mets would go after Fielder AND Reyes.

Prince Fielder won't want to play in that ballpark.
They may get Reyes, though. |

Wow...really? Idiots. If Reyes doesn't re-sign, I could see them being connected to Fielder, though probably not seriously.
Actually...if they signed for similar money, Fielder is probably the better long-term option due to durability and the fact that Citi Field won't contain his power. |

Red Sox are trying to find a starter to acquire to pitch the tie-breaker game. Would be amazing if Buchholz came back and pitched the game.

And in Reyes' potential final last game as a Met...he gets a bunt single in his first at-bat before being pulled for a pinch runner.
Feel bad for the good amount of fans who showed up probably just to see Reyes...but now he's in an excellent spot. Braun has to go 3-for-3 to win the batting title tonight. |

Also I really don't think the issue is Fielder being afraid to play somewhere. But let's be honest, if I'm offered the same amount to play at Wrigley as I am to play at Citi Field, I'm taking the cheap homers at Wrigley all day everyday.

Sounds like they're going to make the left field wall shorter, and move in/straighten out right field a bit. The latter should be a huge help to David Wright...leave it to the Mets to build a park that screwed with his natural opposite-field power.

There's chatter going around that Boston is looking around for rental starter if they gotta do the play-in game. Bruce Chen's name was brought up and there are some talks with the Royals.

Sounds like everybody in baseball except for the Mets are rooting for Braun now. A lot of public outcry about him asking to be taken out. Braun getting 3 hits certainly is likely, anyway.
Francesa is saying he's heard from "sources" that the 2012 Mets payroll may not be over $100 million. Given that they've already got about $80 million committed in contracts/likely arbitration figures, I can't see Reyes coming in - nor Fielder (not that there was ever a chance of them moving Ike to right). It would eat their entire budget. |

Those in Reyes' defense. If he went 0-for-3 or 0-for-4 or whatever it would have to be to put him below Braun, there is zero chance Braun plays tonight.

It's not a matter of being afraid of a ballpark, but everyone has seen what that ballpark has done to Mets power hitters, such as David Wright, Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran. So if you can go elsewhere and get as much money, it's a no-brainer.

Price looking very shaky for the Rays as he gave up 5 runs so far and Rays loosing 5-0 in the 2nd.
Red Sox up 1-0 in the 3rd inning. Some of the outcry also revolves around Reyes considering using just bunts for safer hits to take advantage of his speed. |
