Injuries
What’s Going On With Church’s Head?
Ryan Church left yesterday’s game with dizziness. The Mets have said that the dizziness was due to a migraine and that Church has a history of migraines. I’m curious how they draw the distinction between dizziness from a migraine and dizziness from post concussion syndrome. I’m not a medical person so I don’t have the […]
Video: Sanchez Hit By Line Drive
Here’s video of Duaner Sanchez getting hit by the line drive last night. It was really scary to watch. The ball came very close to hitting him on the kneecap and that may have ended his career. Sanchez said before tonight’s game that he’s healthy. I imagine Jerry Manuel will only use him if absolutely […]
Alou To Have MRI
Moises Alou will not be in the lineup tonight. That’s right. Two at bats after coming off the DL Alou will be undergoing an MRI instead. Alou was never expected to play every game but this is ridiculous.
Alou DLed Again
In what could hardly be called a shocker Moises Alou was placed on the disabled list. An MRI yesterday showed he has a strained left calf. Catcher Raul Casanova was called up to take Alou’s space on the roster. Ideally the Mets would have called up an outfielder but in another display of their astounding […]
Metsblog on Injury Status
I was going to post a piece about injury status but Matthew Cerrone already did over at Metsblog. Simply put there will be some roster changes for the weekend series in Arizona.
Correction: Reyes To Play
Contrary to what I wrote in my last post Jose Reyes will be in the lineup tonight. Furthermore in contrast to what Willie Randolph said yesterday he has dropped Luis Castillo to the 8th slot in the order. Ryan Church will bat second. Moving Castillo down makes sense until he is healthy but I’d rather […]
Sanchez Activated, Reyes Still Sits
In injury news the Mets have activated Duaner Sanchez and optioned Frankie, I mean, Carlos Muniz. And Jose Reyes ran today but as of now is not in tonight’s lineup.
Pedro Could Be Out 8 Weeks
Thought an off day would bring no bad news? Then don’t continue reading. Omar Minaya said yesterday that Pedro Martinez will take a little longer to return to action. The original timetable of 4-6 weeks will actually end up being more like 6-8 weeks. That means more time with Nelson Figueroa and Mike Pelfrey in […]
Mets Sign Claudio Vargas
The Mets have signed Claudio Vargas to a minor league deal. Vargas will report to extended spring training in Port St. Lucie before going to AAA New Orleans. Given the state of the Mets rotation this is a good move. Depending on how long it takes Pedro Martinez to return and Orlando Hernandez to do […]
Phils Give One To Mets
The Mets won 8-2 last night. They beat the Phillies. Forgive me for not being more enthusiastic but Philadelphia was without their spark plug, Jimmy Rollins and committed 4 errors in the game which led to 6 unearned runs. This wasn’t so much the Mets winning as it was the Phillies losing. But as I […]
