"Jason Bay knows it's out there, the sense that perhaps he hasn't worked through all his demons just yet.

Consider today another example. Amid an 0-for-4 day at the plate, in which he also dropped a fly ball in left - he did not blame it on the sun/lights, though manager Terry Collins said it could have been a factor - it's become another reason to think that his "rebound" could have been the anomaly.

Collins said the two would speak Monday.

"Ah, I mean it's not the first time. Believe me, if you imagine how frustrated the fans are - do you think I enjoy it? What I'm doing out there?" Bay said after the Mets' 8-5 loss to the Phillies. "I'm more frustrated than anybody, but I have to come back and do this every single day and I can't get caught up in the frustration.""
