NEW YORK -- So, some of the Phillies weren't particularly thrilled with Jose Reyes' finger- and arm-raised home-run salute between first and second base in the sixth inning. And while Charlie Manuel said he probably would've talked to Reyes about it if Reyes was on his team, he also admitted that several of his own players are guilty of the same type of behavior when they do something good (we're talking about you Ryan Howard, and you J.C. Romero, and you Jimmy Rollins).Will there be any retaliation against Reyes? We'll have to wait and see, although Ryan Madson, who gave up the homer, said none of his teammates have come to him to talk about it.
Here's a question, though: How come it's acceptable for some players to show emotion after going something positive, but others get criticized for it? And how come is OK for NFL linemen to celebrate a quarterback sack or NBA players to celebrate a big basket, but it's not OK for baseball players to gaze at their home runs. Just wondering.
Your lineups for today's game ...
Phillies: SS Jimmy Rollins, 2B Chase Utley, LF Pat Burrell, 1B Ryan Howard, RF Jayson Werth, CF Shane Victorino, 3B Pedro Feliz, C Chris Coste, LHP Jamie Moyer.
Mets: SS Jose Reyes, LF Nick Evans, 3B David Wright, 1B Carlos Delgado, CF Carlos Beltran, RF Fernando Tatis, 2B Damion Easley, C Ramon Castro, LHP Oliver Perez.
Enjoy the game!
