Amazin' Avenue, a New York Mets community

October 5th, maybe?

Here's the magnificent Rany Jazayerli on long-time Royals trainer Nick Swartz. "I don’t know about you, but to me, the handling of Coco Crisp’s shoulder injury is by itself a fireable offense. Crisp was playing – terribly, mind you – with a bum shoulder FOR FIVE WEEKS, and even after his shoulder pain became severe enough that he could no longer play, the Royals kept shuffling him in and out of the lineup for three weeks, putting him back out there as soon as the pain became tolerable again."

Bart Hubbuch is on it again, via his Twitter: NYPost_Mets Piling on: Now Ramon Martinez is out with a back injury. Fernando Tatis might have to start at SS Monday night if Jose Reyes can't go. NYPost_Mets Jose Reyes just told reporters that he will NOT play Monday. "It don't feel good," he said.

Wonderful.

According to metsblog MRI results revealed a PCL strain in his left knee and a calf strain. I don't really know what that means but I think this calls for a =/ face.

"He's done," Manuel said after his team's 1-0 loss. "That's very discouraging, to lose a big piece of where we are and what we've accomplished so far." Look for a return to the Dan Murphy/Nick Evans platoon that dominated play up until a few weeks ago.

After being yo-yo'd around for a couple of weeks, Ryan Church was finally placed on the disabled list with post-concussion syndrome. His stint will be retroactive to 6/6.

Not good.
