Jose Reyes - the Oliver Perez of shortstops

So many things were done well last night. Very well. It makes it all the harder to admit that a few bad things and one amazingly stupid thing gets the team another loss. Schoenweiss's two strong innings. Wow. Great stuff. Tatis hitting the long ball after coming in for Anderson. Delgado with a couple of big hits, including a double that he legged out. Endy using his bat. Beltran's catch in CF. So many good pluses that it hurts to admit that it's just another loss.

Again, I didn't see the game, but did Reyes hit his head on that play where Barmes got injured? Was he too woozy to realize that he was about to be picked off in a situation where he absolutely CANNOT be picked off? Sometimes I fear that Reyes and Perez share a brain. I mean he can be so, so good and at times he can be so dumb like he's not even paying attention. As the kids in Ireland say, "he does my head in".
