The Mets have recalled RHP Fernando Nieve from AAA Buffalo to replace J.J. Putz on the active roster.
Reyes Tries New Procedure To Heal Ailing Hamstring
Jose Reyes will undergo an unusual treatment for his torn hamstring called Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP). The process involves blood being taken from him and spun in a centrifuge to pull out the platelets. The platelets are then injected at the site of the injury. The procedure is said to help regenerate tendons and […]
Tomorrow in Mets History
I loved this story from via SI.com‘s Baseball Today page for tomorrow: 1918 – Casey Stengel, after being traded by Brooklyn in the offseason, made his return to Ebbets Field a memorable one. In his first at-bat, Stengel called time, stepped out of the batter’s box and doffed his cap. A bird flew out and […]
Rosenthal: Putz Out 8-10 Weeks
Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com is reporting that J.J. Putz will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur in his pitching elbow. Putz will be out 8 to 10 weeks. Looks like it’s for real now. A big test for Bobby Parnell.
Injury Report: Putz and Reyes
As reported after yesterday’s game J.J. Putz will be seeing a doctor in new York today.

Apparently this has been going on since the Mets trip to […]
Mt. Beltran Finally Blows
Carlos Beltran‘s stomach virus is gone and it left a monster in it’s wake. In yesterday’s game, his first since battling the virus, Beltran went 2 for 4 with a double and a home run. But the real monster came out later, after the Mets lost 11-6 to complete the Pirates sweep of them. Beltran […]
Putz Seeing Doctor Tomorrow (It’s About Time)
After stinking up the joint again today J.J. Putz will see a doctor about his elbow tomorrow and the possibility of surgery looms. I have to wonder why it took so long. Putz is a gamer and not likely to admit to an injury or limit himself because of one. Did the front office just […]

Poll: Redding or Glavine?
The Braves unceremoniously released Tom Glavine yesterday after he made a good rehab start. The move seemed odd when it was first announced but made more sense when the Braves announced the acquisition of Nate McLouth in a trade for three prospects. Mets fans immediately began wondering if the team would be better off signing […]
Good News and Bad News
Yesterday was a real good news, bad news type of day for the Mets. Good – Last night’s game was rained out giving the Mets an extra day to regroup from two truly bad losses. Bad – Since this was scheduled to be the Mets only trip to Pittsburgh this year they will have to […]
