    The lasting image of Jose Reyes as a Met- sliding head first into third base.

    It’s amazing/ridiculous how every little piece of minutia in the sports world gets analyzed backwards, forwards, sideways, and slantways, and longways, and backways, and any other ways that you can think of. The Internet is a wonderful tool for sports fans to not only instantly learn what’s going on in a constant state of breaking news, but also to voice their own opinions for the whole world to see. But in a growing number of cases, these opinions and conversations simply outweigh the gravity of the issues. We analyze every little detail until all the fun has been sucked out of the events themselves. Will Jose Reyes get booed or cheered when he returns to New York? Will he only be cheered in his first at-bat, or in every at-bat? What if he gets a hit? Do you like the idea of a video tribute? Does it take away from the event? Should Reyes tip his cap to the fans? If he doesn’t, should you boo?

    The Mets and Giants are scheduled to make up Sunday’s wash out with a single-admission double header Monday starting at 4:10pm. The new rule in 2012 allows for teams to expand their roster to 26 for double-dips, and it appears the Mets are still deciding. Jordany Valdespin and Jeremy Hefner are both in Flushing and both in uniform, but it has not yet been announced which one will get the official call-up.

    Valdespin opened some eyes in Spring Training, and is off to a nice start in Triple-A Buffalo with 2 home runs and 7 RBI. The middle infielder is one of the top position players in the Mets farm system, and it would definitely be intriguing to watch him play. But let’s remember- this is a roster expansion for 24 hours only, and it is specifically meant to give the team an extra body to handle the rigors of two games in one day. Because of that, the call up HAS to go to pitcher Jeremy Hefner.
