The only bad news that came from Jordany Valdespin's game-deciding, pinch hit three-run homer on May 7 in the top of the ninth inning off Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, was the fact that the young shortstop wouldn't have a chance to put the ball from his first big league hit onto his mantle.

That the New York Mets planned to honor shortstop Jose Reyes when he made his return to Citi Field as a member of the Miami Marlins Tuesday is no surprise. That they honored their fans by beating Miami 2-1, however, seems much more appropriate, if you ask me.

For the first time since leaving the New York Mets to join the Miami Marlins for a whopping $100 million, superstar shortstop José Reyes is returning to Queens. As a lifelong Mets fan who was also an ardent supporter of Reyes during his tenure with the team, I find myself conflicted regarding how to react.

Has Jimmy Rollins mastered the Jedi mind trick ? It certainly looked that way on Friday after the Philadelphia Phillies shortstop simply held up his hand — a gesture that's often used to signify a dead play —  to possibly force New York Mets catcher Josh Thole into making a pretty amusing baserunning error. Watch what happens in the second inning as Thole moves into second base after R.A. Dickey successfully lands a sacrifice bunt in fair territory. _ And here we thought Boston's Kelly Shoppach had dibs on Friday's most embarrassing play around second base. At least he got his first stolen base for all the laughs he caused. So was the miscue really a result of Rollins' deception? We can't be sure if the gesture was intentional as it appears Rollins didn't speak with reporters after the game. But Thole did acknowledge that Rollins' hand wave did play a part in his brain cramp. (Also, we're wondering what Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee was thinking, too. Why did he throw to second when Thole was headed back to first?)
