Deadspin: Jose Reyes

Gifts For The Self-Loathing Mets Fan: Bidding On Jose Reyes's Shorn Locks Is Up To $10,200

Jack Dickey — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:35:00 EST

Apparently most-riveting-New-York-Met-ever Jose Reyes will spend this year toiling for something called the Miami Marlins, the Talk Magazine of baseball teams, while Ruben Tejada will start at short for the Mets. Cool. More »

What Losing Jose Reyes Really Means For Mets Fans

Jack Dickey — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:00:00 EST

In eighth grade I wrote a poem about Jose Reyes, the Miami Marlins' new shortstop. The poem wasn't so good. I wrote it in Reyes's gregarious broken English, in which every third utterance is "you know" or "man." But I had to write something quickly for a class, and in April 2005, nothing captivated me quite like the Mets and their dynamo, the sinewy kid who hit ropes and slung bullets from his ear. More »

Jose Reyes Seinfeld The Puppy Begs Jose Reyes The Human To Stay With The Mets

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:45:22 EST

Jerry Seinfeld is a Mets fan, for some masochistic reason. Being a Mets fan means always having to say they're sorry. But one silver lining is the very real chance of re-signing Jose Reyes, so that they can pay him $15 million when he's 36 years old, which is the soonest possible time the team will be good again.

Jose Reyes Is A Selfish, Gutless, Stat-Padding Quitter (Just Like Derek Jeter)

Tom Scocca — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 11:40:47 EDT

From the moment Jose Reyes dropped a first-inning bunt single and then checked out of the season's final game, leaving his average at .337 and all but assuring the Mets of the first batting title in franchise history, it was obvious that people who need something to yell about were going to yell about it. How dare Reyes cheat the fans by allowing them to say they were at the ballpark to witness the moment a Met nailed down the batting crown? Far better to hack his way through a meaningless game and take the chance on blowing it. More »

11-Year-Old Is The Best Broadcaster The Mets Have Ever Had

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:00:13 EDT

Young Jacob Resnick got to call Jose Reyes' first-pitch home run last night (and stick around for the eventual Mets meltdown). He won an essay contest and an audition, and we see why he won. He's genuinely excited by the game he's calling, a trait all-too-often absent in our current crop of commentators. (The headline's a joke - Gary, Keith and Ron are actually quite good.) More »

Watch Jose Reyes Bust Heavily Autotuned Reggaeton Rhymes With The Best Of 'Em

Jose Reyes is awesome at baseball—he bats .354/.398/.529 at the premier defensive position, and that's to say nothing of how exciting he is with a full head of steam, sliding into third after cracking one into the gap. More »

The 2009 New York Mets: A Season Of Failure

Getting To Know Jose Reyes' Alleged Road Beef

A.J. Daulerio — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:00:28 EDT

So yesterday, after I posted the New York Daily News story about Jose Reyes' alleged side-sex lady ,"Bentley Matthews," Deadspin received an interesting email from an individual who said she was a relative of Ms. Matthews and claimed to know the "real identity of Jose Reyes' mistress." Fun. I was curious about the e-mailer's motivations and Bentley's story, so I responded to this woman and read what she had to say. Eventually, this led to a phone conversation early last evening. Bentley Matthews real name is Erica Rene Dufour, aspiring model, former Cali-area Hooters gal, and a woman who has a had a knack for bedding baseball players most of her young adult life. The source, a blood relative, requested anonymity but did say that Erica's family is well aware of her, hmmm, "relationships" with various ballplayers because (shock!) she's not very discreet about her dalliances. The source said "she's shown me pictures" and " I've gone to games with her" thanks to the seats Erica receives due to her pseudo-girlfriend status. After the Reyes stuff broke, her family is both a little "disappointed" and "concerned", but "not surprised" Erica is in this predicament. The reason the source knew about the Deadspin story to begin with was because "my brother showed it to me" after, apparently, Erica had sent along the link. Erica is freaking out a little bit over the potential scandal and she's been receiving lots of scathing emails from Mets fans calling her not-so-nice names. (Those poor people are having enough stress at this time of the year. It's not surprising they're a little touchy right now.) Erica's relative did not know if Jose has attempted to contact her since the story broke on The Dirty, but said that Ericaand Jose mostly communicate via text-message anyway. Erica is very smitten with Jose and, according to the source, had his name tattooed on her wrist but recently changed it to "two broken hearts" after Reyes got hitched. But he's not the first baseball player lucky enough to earn ink-status on Erica's body — apparently she had "Gary" tattooed "on the inside of her lip" after her tryst with Angels' outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. In fact they were so close that he inspired her internet name, the source said. Although she's no longer seeing Matthews, Erica does take the time out to acknowledge the alleged HGH-abuser's on-field accomplishments.(Via Bentley's blog: Wednesday, April 23, 2008: "Gary Matthews JR Hit his 100th Career Home Run". ) The source says Erica's run through a couple of the Angels players and then moved on to Toronto's Alex Rios for a little while. She can't remember where Erica met Jose, but just that they've been seeing each other for some time. When I asked the source if the publicity from this Reyes affair would discourage Erica from going after any more baseball players, she sighed and said "She'll probably just move on to basketball." NBA players — you've been warned. More »

Jose Reyes' Alleged Side-Sex Lady Denies Rumors That She's Banging Him

A.J. Daulerio — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:45:35 EDT

The Dirty.com alerted the media to the site's "exclusive" photographic evidence that Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes was having an ongoing affair with a stripper-sounding woman named Bentley Matthews a couple of days ago and most outlets ignored it. But today the New York Daily News caught up with her and (surprise) she wholeheartedly denies any type of relationship with him. Drunk-driving enthusiast and site proprietor Nik Richie stands by his sources that the woman is, in fact, doing him. Further, Richie says that Matthews is one of several "girlfriends" who sleep with Mets players. Richie fired back at Matthews today, charmingly calling her a "cross-eyed Rikki Lake" and re-posted the screen-shots from Matthews' MySpace page from which the story originated from. In other potential pooch-screwing news, the Mets are still currently 1/2 game back of the Phillies in the National League East.

The Mets Show Some Midnight Funk

Leitch — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:00:05 EDT

Last night's Cardinals loss to the Mets — we watched that one with our parents at a Brooklyn bar, though we're heading to Flushing tonight and tomorrow — seemed inevitable from the get-go. Frankly, we have a sneaking suspicion the Cardinals are going to be swept in these four games, saving us the trouble of believing they have any sort of hope this year. This would bother us a lot more if the Cardinals hadn't won the World Series last year, but they did. More »
