Dear MSG And Time Warner Cable: Eat A Bag Of Salted Dicks

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