Injuries
Shea Opener A Bust
Can somebody please tell me why Scott Schoeneweis is still pitching for the Mets? He blew another game yesterday. It was his first loss of the year but since he’s been with the team he has gone 0-3 with a 5.04 ERA. The obvious answer is that he’s under contract. But for what team? The […]
Castillo Leaves Game
Luis Castillo left today’s game in the fifth inning due to soreness in his right knee. Anyone surprised? Not me.
Wise DLed
The Mets have placed Matt Wise on the DL. Wise was not available for the Saturday and Sunday game of the Atlanta series due to soreness on his right forearm. The Mets are calling the injury a contusion. Carlos Muniz has been recalled to replace Wise. Muniz is a right hander with 2 years of […]
Pedro’s Pop = 4-6 Weeks
The pop in Pedro Martinez‘s left hamstring turned out to be a strain that will keep the Mets number two starter on the disabled list for 4 to 6 weeks. That answers the question of making room for Nelson Figueroa who was recalled from AAA yesterday. Figueroa, who pitched an inning in relief in the […]
Pop Goes Pedro?
That pop you heard last night may be more or less than what it sounded like. It came from the hamstring of Pedro Martinez and it will take an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. Martinez felt the pop in the fourth inning with the Mets down 4-3 after he allowed home runs […]
Alou In Camp
Moises Alou visited camp yesterday and said he hopes to be playing by the end of April. In related news I saw a pig flying over Manhattan yesterday. But seriously I’d have to agree with Omar Minaya who said that he expects Alou to return in May.
The End For Valentin?
Jose Valentin is going to New York for treatment on a pinched nerve in his neck. Rumor has it that if treatment doesn’t work and surgery is recommended he may retire. Frankly this team doesn’t need Valentin and I wouldn’t miss him if he were gone. I always thought that the Mets thought he should […]
Alou Out 4-6 Weeks
That big grunt you heard from the south yesterday wasn’t a weather system working it’s way up the eastern seaboard. It was the collective reaction of everyone at Mets camp upon learning that Moises Alou is in need of hernia surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. The surgery is scheduled to take place today […]
More On Gotay’s Ankle
There was encouraging but not totally resolute news on Ruben Gotay‘s ankle. The CT scan from Monday showed that what the team doctor thought may have been a fracture was actually an irregularity that was a result of a previous injury. The results will be sent back to New York for a second look to […]
El Duque Throwing
There’s finally a reason to feel optimistic about Orlando Hernandez. Due to the injury to his foot El Duque has been working on a new windup that eliminates his trademark high leg kick. The high leg kick was causing pressure on the hurt toe so it had to go in favor of a windup that […]
