The only drama in the Mets’ 5-1 win over the Astros on Saturday was Jerry Manuel‘s unusual decision to sit a healthy David Wright in the next-to-last-game of the season. Manuel said he wanted to protect Wright from wild Houston starter Yorman Bazardo.

Manuel’s babying of Wright didn’t sit well with colleague Kevin Kernan, who writes that it was just another mistake in a season full of them by the Mets.

In the notes, Manuel said he expects to find out today if Jose Reyes needs surgery on his right hamstring tendon.
