I think they can’t mess it up with our season over, but these are the Mets.

With the Mets track record of late, zero confidence.

With the village idiots we have on our training staff, yeah this could get horrible.

Given the quality of our training staff, I’m somewhat frightened for his career prospects.

He never wants to miss a game. I hope he doesn’t try to rush back.
With as far out as the team is and as much criticism they got for the handling of Church last year, I think the organization will be overly cautious.

I don’t want my Franchise player having concussion problems for the rest of his life.And what the hell is Beltran and Jerry smoking.It’s over get him rested for next year.He is clearly our best player and when he went down we should have know it was over

The Giants beat writer has the inside story on the tipped hat incident

Cain tipped his cap as he came off the mound, which I’m sure the Mets fans didn’t appreciate. What they couldn’t have known is that the small contingent above the Giants dugout that stood and cheered him weren’t just any group of out-of-town Giants fans. They were the minority owners of the club, along with their families. Bill Neukom, Larry Baer and many of the investors accompanied the team to New York for the series. After Friday night’s loss, they were glad to have something to cheer — finally.

I’d tip my cap to the people who sign my checks, too.

I don’t think we can win the Bryce Harper sweepstakes, so why shut down Johan? If I were Bud Selig (god help me if I were), I would be mighty suspicious of a team that DL’d their ace pitcher out of the blue, especially since he looked very healthy just a day or two before. Your plan sounds like a good way to get smacked down by the commissioner’s office.

When your franchise player gets hit in the head, you have to retaliate. It makes no difference if it was accidental.

And hitting some scrub in the ass with a 80 MPH pitch is not retaliation.

Santana threw behind their best hitter and then pegged their catcher/cleanup hitter in the following at bat. By the way, that alleged scrub hit a GW HR off our relief ace later in the game.

This goes back to Piazza-Clemens as the Mets looking like pussies.

That was nine years ago. There isn’t a coach or player on this team that had anything to do with those incidents. It seems like this has more to do with the chip on your shoulder from that disappointing series than it does with anything regarding this sorry 2009 group of Mets.

If "the book" on Wright is to bust him inside, opposing pitchers have to have some fear in their mind that if they miss and hit him, there will be consequences. Otherwise, we’ll see more and more of this.

What sort of consequences? The normal procedure for these situations is:
1, Pitcher on Team A hits hitter on Team B.
2, Pitcher on Team B retaliates by pegging hitter on Team A.
3, Benches clear, flailing punches are or aren’t thrown, ejections are or aren’t made.
4, Game resumes. Arbitrary suspensions are leveled two days later.

Nothing is accomplished and the initiating pitcher certainly doesn’t have to worry about retaliation or retribution since pitchers are almost never beaned. The fact is that if an opposing pitcher thinks that Wright’s weak spot is up and in, he’s going to throw the ball there. Let’s not pretend that this is a matter of deterrence, it’s a matter of pride and stupidity.

start b/c he’s suspended. Look, Santana threw a warning pitch behind Sandoval, and he hit Molina. It’s done. What do you want, a guy taken out on a stretcher?
