He should want to hit if he was a baller. IJS, to tell your coach I want to sit if I get a hit is selfish. His team, franchise, and fans deserve his best effort. Good for him though, that was one hell of a season. I'll still take Braun over him any day of the week though. It's not even up for discussion who the better ball player is.

I called it heartless and gutless earlier and I think I'd stick with that. He didn't do anything illegal or break any rules tho. It's right on par with what you should expect from him and that franchise.

Too tired to care
Do you mean Braun?
GS has been hitting the peyote a little hard.
Pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Far cry from Williams in 1941 playing both ends of a double hitter while protecting a 0.400 average.

There are some people that are yankee fans who think he should be the SS next season????? that guy is not yankee material, he is such a premadonna its sickening, when was the last time that guy played a full season or even close??? that guy probably has stock in spik and span.....

Prima donnas aren't Yankee material? You have one of the biggest in the majors at 3B.

Please tell me you are kidding me? Arod was one of my favorite players in the league when he was with the Mariners and his early days with the Rangers. When he started showing up in the news for poker games, cheating on his wife, dating every celebrity under the sun, etc. then I completely lost respect for the guy. To say he is not a premadonna is absolutely absurd.

And yes, Jose Reyes was Bush. Especially when I watched Baseball Tonight and saw he had shaved eye brows.

I saw that for the first time too. WTF?!? Reyes is a punk.
Also, what the hell was the mets manager crying for in the post game press conference? He looked like a woman with a hormal imbalance up there.

This sums it up. Dude is a selfish vagina and I hope teams now lowball him in FA because of it.

I'm in the minority but he wanted the batting title, he doesn't get a bonus if he gets one, let him get it. In a miserable season for the Mets (again) it's something they can hang their hats on. If he had gone 0-4 he still would've won it since Braun went 0-4, so it's really a moot point. If Braun went 2-4 and made it close I can see the uproar. The Mets had nothing to play for, so if he sat the entire game he still would've won it, and nobody would've said a thing. If he went 0-1 or 0-2 and pulled himself he still would've won.

You could actually hear the moment, just before the first tear fell when his balls fell off and hit the floor.

I don't know. The brave kid crying made me
Good summary. I did laugh when they showed the kid. Not just a chuckle but one of those loud explosive belly laughs that usually followed by a snort. Watching the Mets manager I'm like "
WTF is wrong w/ this guy"

you mean like jeter did in 2008, when he took himself out of the last game when he started the game 0-2 and watched his average dip down to .300, so he took himself out of the game so it wouldn't go below that. jeter must not be a yankee.

forget the batting title aspect of it. I can see why fans would be disappointed that he ducked out of what could possibly be his last game as a Met in NY.

it's the same thing. he pulled himself out of a game to save his stats. how do you not understand that?

at the end of the day no one will care he sat out the last game. They'll only remember he won the batting title. Braun had his chances but didnt' hit. Oh well. Heck, they had all season to hit. No use crying over the last game.
But the studdliest thing I heard was they were asking Ted Williams if he wanted to sit out the last day doubleheader to preserve his 400 batting average, he said heck no and went out and went 6-8.
