Injuries
Softball Removed From Maine’s Shoulder
John Maine has had surgery to remove the bone spur in his right shoulder. According to Maine the doctors said they had never seen one as big as the one they removed from his shoulder. It was supposedly the size of a softball. Maine is expected to be ready for spring training. For an explanation […]
Santana Has Surgery
The Mets are set to have a press conference today presumed to be an announcement of Omar Minaya’s contract extension (3 years at $6 million?). But I think the questions asked by the press will be more centered around Johan Santana than they will around Minaya. It was surprisingly announced yesterday that Santana had arthroscopic […]
Tatis Done For Year
Despite their recent struggles you can’t stick a fork in the Mets quite yet. Fernando Tatis, on the other hand, is done. At least for the year. He suffered a separated right shoulder when he attempted to make a diving catch. Tatis hit .297 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs and was a star […]
Wagner Done For Year
Look out Mets fans! The sky is falling! After feeling pain during a simulated game yesterday Billy Wagner is officially out for the season. He will have surgery to repair a torn MCL in his left elbow that will keep him on the shelf the rest of this season and probably well into next season. […]
Maine To DL
John Maine has been placed on the DL with bone spurs in his right shoulder. This is not good news for the Mets who need every arm they can get. There is no word yet weather this is the end of Maine’s season or not.
Wagner Still Hurting
The word is in on Billy Wagner and it’s… non committal. The Mets released a statement saying that Wagner continues to have swelling and pain in the elbow and he’ll need more rest. There was no mention of any specific damage or a timetable for Wagner’s return. Although there was no mention of the possibility […]
Wagner To Be Examined Today
Billy Wagner will be examined again today after which I expect to hear an announcement about some sort of elbow injury that will require him to be out an extended period of time. Let see them prove me wrong.

10 Game Win Streak Undone
The ten game win streak the Mets experienced around the All Star break rocketed them strongly into first place. At the time of the streak they were playing like world beaters. But now they’ve lost 4 in a row, 6 of their last 8 and are 6-9 since the streak ended. Instead of having a […]
Alou Out For Season
It turns out that the hamstring cramp that caused Moises Alou to leave a rehab game the other day is actually a tear. Doctors are recommending surgery and Alou is expected to miss the rest pf the season. There is some buzz that this could lead to retirement for him. The loss of Alou for […]
