Parnell Shut Down For Season

According to Brad Como of SNY, apparently the Mets shut Parnell down after an MRI showed inflammation in his right elbow.

There goes my idea of dealing him while his value is back up. Or I guess I should say was back up...

It sounds as if it's only a minor injury, from the report.

Well…it was nice knowing you Bobby.

His missing parts are probably the only reason he isn't injured...

Next it will be Dickey being shut down from inflamation.

Hey !. Don't talk to my mami like that.

Joe Torre is not pleased

That someone got to Parnell first.

Ha

that was well done.

Oh cmon.......really????

The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?

by Syler on Sep 21, 2010 3:02 PM EDT reply actions

This is a prudent move by the Mets

Since it seems that they caught this early it might not require surgery. If not it will be arthroscopic type.

by Delgado on Sep 21, 2010 3:03 PM EDT reply actions

It was probably just a matter of time

throwing 100 mph is not something you can keep up for a long time, unless your Billy Wags.
Is there a way Mets fans can invest their money in Dr. Altcheck’s practice? Sign me up.

You all know what this means? Meijia is our 2011 closer

pending his surgery of course. Plan B is Pat Misch.

by David G on Sep 21, 2010 3:33 PM EDT reply actions

Well, relatively

this is a good news. Any injury that fills the weeks quota without being Reyes, Wright, Pagan, Niese, Pelf, Davis or Thole is a good week for me.

I bet Jerry Manuel just bunted.

by GilbertP on Sep 21, 2010 3:36 PM EDT reply actions

But he pitches fast.

Oh well.

Consequences will never be the same.

by NetsMets4Life on Sep 21, 2010 5:12 PM EDT reply actions

Cap'n Fastball?!

NOOOOOOOO! At least they’re shutting him down before he destroys himself.

Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

by KeithsMoustache on Sep 21, 2010 6:48 PM EDT reply actions

I forgot he existed. Seriously.

What the hell is up with that. He’s a bullpen pitcher, not some bench-warming guy.

Bench warmer as in

Norman Ethans? Or whatever his name is.

That was perhaps the least informative sports report ever...

What I learned: he might pitch, and he’s really good at calisthenics.

by MookieTheCat on Sep 22, 2010 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions

Two years ago, anyway.

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!

Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
