Torn Hamstring Applesauce
Meet the Mets
Met leadoff hitter, catalyst, and shortstop Jose Reyes has suffered a major setback in his rehabilitation. Maybe Jose will take the time off and learn to mature... Mets Police says we're not missing much.
Reliever JJ Putz will also need more evaluation and may have a more serious injury as well.

I missed this during this series, but apparently Keith Hernandez had an amazingly unintential inappropriate quote.

Around the NL East
The Phillies continue to win, this time behind a complete game by Cole Hamels. The win is Philadelphia's seventh consecutive and they are now four games ahead of the Mets.
Philadelphia will reportedly sign either Tom Glavine or Vicente Padilla.
The Braves made the decision to cut Tom Glavine unanimously. John Smoltz did not respond positively to the news.
Randy Johnson won his 300th game, beating the Nationals in a rain-soaked opening of a doubleheader. The Nationals also droppped the rain-shortened night cap, 4-1.
Josh Johnson did it all for the Marlins, pitching 7 and two thirds innings and homering in Florida's 4-3 victory over the Brewers. Johnson gets a boost in his badly needed win statistic, which will help his arbitration case.
Marlin pitcher Anibel Sanchez was sent again to the DL.
Around MLB
A scary story comes to a happy ending for Rockie catcher Yorvit Torrealba.

Mets Police doesn't miss El Professor Reyes.
Yeah, I can see their point. It’s way more preferable to have Cora or Valdez manning shortstop instead of one of the top 20 players in the Major Leagues. I mean, Jose doesn’t even get on base every time he has a plate appearance!
groan.

I hate that I clicked on the link
Joe Budd, if you link to them, it’ll just embiggen.
The money quote, (emphasis mine)
Fiend [sic] of mine last night said that when he pictures Reyes he pictures him in a black Mets jersey. When he pictures Wright he pictures him in a blue hat and Mets pinstripes. If you’ve spent time on this blog you probably get the vibe of what he was saying, and I think he’s right.
BOOM! Take that Reyes you black jersey wearing piece of shit. I haven’t spent time on that blog so I don’t get said “vibe” of what he is saying, but I can take a guess and he’s an idiot.
That's quite a vibe
I always picture Johan Santana in the Mets’ road grays…HINT HINT.
Really, Jerry?
what the crap is that about?
Real ballplayers wear the uniforms they want, not the ones the equipment manager puts out for them. Who cares if they don’t match the rest of the team? That way, you can see who the stars are.
That quote is hilarious
He might as well just say: damn the facts, I see what I want to see, with my biases front and center.
I'm not sure
I love mocking, but it can’t be good to embolden these morons with clicks.
Yea, I was just about to post the same thing
Quote: “Reyes without speed wouldn’t have much ‘game’”
You mean he wouldn’t be that good if we took away the skill that defines him as a player? What an idiotic thing to write just before we find out how serious one of our best player’s hamstring injury is.

that nats are garbage
im rooting for them to lose so then can fire acta so the mets can rehire him. even if it means keeping jerry (for now) then can bring him back as a bench coach. or whatever, if you dont want to fire anyone to make room for him then pay him to be a friggin consultant until you can install him as the dugout boss.
All of the mets fans hope that we will not see the bad news mets ever again.
Ugh, that Mets Police article is a joke.
Like seriously, it’s just awful. Are you seriously telling me you were more upset when Angel Pagan was injured than when Reyes (a top 20 player in baseball, like Catsmeat said, and one of the youngest of those top 20) got injured??s What a tool.

I was going to say so in the comments section at MetsPolice
but then I saw that the section was empty and would have preferred it stayed that way.

"i know i'm being counter-culture on this"
you dont know what words mean, do you?
All of the mets fans hope that we will not see the bad news mets ever again.
Dude, missing Reyes is in our culture.
It’s like missing Apple Pie, Mississippi Delta Blues, or Jenny Holzer’s installation that just ended over at Whitney.
I Like Ike
Sorry Eric, you said no religion or politics.
Davis is now 7th in the tough Fla St. league in OPS at .844. Behind some very good prospects in Brown, Montero and Stanton, but really improving. maybe it was the wrist (and wood adjustment) hlding him back. ISO up to .182 (Monetro, man, .227).
10th in wOBA at .377.
He is also behind yet ANOTHER Phillie prospect in OPS, 3b Tim Kenelly, who is about the same age. There is one 24 year old ahead of him too.
May be about time to move Ike up as well.
Hooray
Thrilled that he seems to be coming around. We’re pretty thin on bats in the upper levels of the system.
that wasnt even the whole quote
what keith said was ’man, that roberto clemente could really fly. he could fly so fast that nothing could stop him until he he stalled out while flying and then crashed. it was the aprupt stop at the end of his flight that was a real problem. but when he was flying, man was it great."
All of the mets fans hope that we will not see the bad news mets ever again.

I call bullshit
on what he said being an issue. Only one person in the comments section of that website has had the decency to say something to the effect of: it was clear Keith was using a very common baseball phrase used to describe someone’s speed on the basepaths.
Pointing out Keith’s “quote” while omitting whatever he said after it, which almost certainly qualified what he meant, is the sick joke. Losers.
batting helmets. batting titles. obp.
Agreed
Stuff like that really bothers me. One commenter echoed what you’re saying and Andrew who made the post responded with “Yeah, we know.” If you know then why the eff did you make the post in the first place?

I think I must have read this differently
I think they were just trying to make an inappropriate type of joke, not necessarily make a controversy. I know I linked to it as a sort of fail blog post, not to fan flames.
The Cowbell Man interview is pretty good
although those people may have jumped the gun by naming their site after the Irish Hammer.
Really, Jerry?
