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 […]
Injury Update
Here’s an update on a couple of injuries: Ryan Church has been sporting sunglasses to disguise the shiner on his eye and protect his eyes which are still sensitive to light as the efects of the concussion he suffered Sunday after colliding with Marlon Anderson in the outfield take their course.

Gotay’s Ankle Ailing
The report on Ruben Gotay has gotten worse. After injuring his ankle yesterday Gotay was spotted walking on crutches with a boot on this morning. Xrays taken on the right ankle he injured the Sunday sliding into home plate showed a possible fracture. He’ll undergo a CT scan tomorrow. I like Gotay but with Luis […]

He should be ready in plenty of time for spring training. Duaner Sanchez may participate in winter ball and is expected to be ready for spring training. […]
Pedro Returns
Pedro Martinez‘s return from surgery has been widely reported in many venues since it was announced before Friday’s game but I thought I would mention it here anyway. Pedro will make the Labor Day start this afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds. It’s a pretty good time to get Pedro back. Though the Mets swept the […]
