on another note, is there an odder looking character than Kevin Kernan?

Not the point – it’s just interesting to see Steve’s point echoed in the Post. I hadn’t heard the O’Neill comparison before this conversation.

If the team were any good, people would spin Reyes’ outbursts in the other direction. Perception is the only reality.

“He was mad at himself for making an error.” Kernan’s comparison was in reference to Reyes’s tantrum after throwing the ball away. The comparison had nothing to do with Reyes being mad that Daddy pulled him from his little league game.

NY Post’s sports columnist Kevin Kernan talks about the Mets and the Yankees on ESPN. Kernan covers Jose Reyes‘ ‘tantrum’ and compares him to Paul O’Neill.

What can I say, Pauly left a big huge hole in right field, and in my heart.

Are you F-ING crazy? You don’t see the difference between O’Neill’s tantrums and Reyes’s?

you didn’t really sway me until you brought up the Paul O’Neil comparison. critics did call o’neil a crybaby, and four championships later, yankee fans could care less. i’m sure mets fans would feel the same about reyes if he had those credentials.
