He hurts his ankle rounding the bases

So I guess
He wont be getting hurt til mid-September.
Well that opens up a wealth of possibilities
There could be a Cadillac on the basepaths runninig over someone, or, my favorite, Pagan goes up to rob a homerun and the ball knocks his head off.

If Francoeur always swung at the first pitch, and had a .400 BA, would people still bitch ?.

Based on the radio call by Howie Rose, I have to say I fear that Niese’s injury is much worse, maybe Hammy Tear, or ACL?
Anyway, nice rebound for Figgy so far.
Seriously
If he collapses in pain because of a strained hamstring, then Niese is a gigantic pussy.
Really?
I pulled my hamstring during a track workout, and basically collapsed. And I’m only a medium-sized pussy.

I pulled and got a small tear in my groin during a soccer game, and I still finished it. Guess I’m only a small pussy.

mark it down in your calendars folks, you’re not likely to see another Frenchy walk for a loooong time
Maybe Stan Musial died and God was like no it's not your time
and he found him a body and that body was Jeff Francoeur.
Or maybe HoJo threatened to beat him with a wet towel if he didn’t take 6 pitches today.

You on Yahoo?
That pic is some goofy fruit, I can tell you that much.
Like I said before
I’m pretty sure Frenchy goes up there with a set amount of pitches he wants to take. He took the first 3, but the last 2 werent even close. Even Failcouer wouldnt swing at that garbage.

What a day for Brad Thompson
Is he more disappointed in himself for:
1) Walking Francoeur on 5 pitches or
2) Giving up a base hit to a reliever in his first MLB AB?
David Wright is good at baseball
Jeff Francoeur…not so much
How old is Frenchy though, 25?
He has a lot of time to learn, but the dude has a cannon for an arm… You guys act like he’s a scrub. I wonder how Church is doing in Atlanta.
Church has a .378 OBP as a Brave.
Francoeur has HAD a lot of time to learn. He hasn’t made any adjustments and has shown no signs of doing so.
Headcase? How the hell was Church a headcase? You are just babbling.
So he missed third base. Big deal. Francoeur doesn’t know what a base looks like he makes out so much.
well technically he was a head case
multiple concussions will do that to you
I.M. Forme
"When you get yourself into trouble is when you feel you have to do something, and then you get yourself in trouble." --Omar Minaya
Babbling??
I don’t know if you knew, but it’s been reported many of time that Church wasn’t a very popular guy in the clubhouse.
Lies
Please show me a published report indicating that Ryan Church had a negative presence in the clubhouse for the NY Mets. One.
I don't have a published report.
Of course this is what SNY was feeding us. How do you know he wasn’t though?
You can't prove something so it's true because we can't disprove it?
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
I seen it..
So it’s my word against yours, you can’t prove anything, and I have no written report, drop it. You’re just a Ryan Church guy, that’s it…
Damn it, you caught me
How can I stay mad at this guy! 
Who said this and when was it said.
I never heard anything of the kind
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
How do I know he wasn't?
How am I supposed to prove a negative? You claim he was bad in the clubhouse, I didn’t. You need to prove your claim.
Wow.
How do you know Jeff Francoeur isn't, in fact, a serial killer?
I don’t have a published report, but how do you know?

good to see that 100 games out of first and 30 out of the wild card
with nearly all of our present and future stars injured and no hope for the future…
Frenchy still inspires us to spend the day attacking each other. Fellas, that’s not what Jeff Francouer is about, he’s about getting along with everyone, peace, love and finding great fares on Delta airlines!

"When you get yourself into trouble is when you feel you have to do something, and then you get yourself in trouble." --Omar Minaya
PS
Maybe not on this team, but with any semblance of a healthy lineup I’d have Frenchy on the bench easily
I'd have him in the minors but whatever
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Nah
He’s too good for his age for the minors. Bench.
This is the first time in the last 3 years anyone has ever called Francoeur too good for something
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Its amazing
Franceur’s defense has been worth 1 run this year, while Church has been worth 3.6
Jeff has been worth -.1 WAR for the Mets, Church has been worth .3 WAR for the Braves.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
You know walks are more important that strikeouts in that
A guy with 140 strikeouts and 93 walks over the course of the season is better than a guy with 90 strikeouts and 24 walks
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
no, he hasn't been
outside of today
he came into the day with a .292 OBP which included an IBB and 3 HBP’s
Shouldn't we just pinch run Parnell
It’d be so sad to see him hurt on the basepaths.

They only need 1 run to win today
So naturally they’re going to pile it on. Then when they need 9 runs, they’ll score precisely 0.
Maybe just a bullpen session
Pitchers do that on their off days, dont they?
Yeah, I figured, but don’t they normally either do that before the game, or well after the game ends? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone throw a bullpen session during a game?
i think they do it all the time
I.M. Forme
"When you get yourself into trouble is when you feel you have to do something, and then you get yourself in trouble." --Omar Minaya
It's possible
Maybe they usually do it after the game, but they’re heading to San Diego right away so there wasnt enough time?
New plan every fifth day
Socks comes out to the start the game and in the 1st or 2nd inning he grabs his leg and falls into a heap. Jerry gets on the phone to the bullpen: “Get Wilson Figueroa up, looks like Starks is hurt again.”
Then Figueroa can come on as the long man and Jerry doesn’t have to worry about using that Socks fellow again for the rest of the day.

Has his OBP broken .420 yet?
Its nice when the Mets win when I'm at work
I can sleep peacefully tonight and maybe even do my laundry first. Or read a book. Take a walk. Help an orphan. The future is bright my friends!
/looks at schedule
/sees Livan is pitching tomorrow
