    Niese pitching well.

  2. mistermet5757 says:

    Great…now Delgado’s hurt again.

  3. ugbmets21 says:

    NADY! go get him. he can platoon with church and spell delgado at 1st.

  4. Nate W. says:

    I wonder if Schneider is working with the pitchers on the side so much that he needs to take the ST games off for rest…

    • m00kie says:

      I’m wondering about Schneider too .. what’s he played like 2 innings so far?

      • Nate W. says:

        hmm, Manriquez catching Niese makes sense as they may both be at AA. But yea it is a little curious.

  5. metsftw says:

    i see sosa’s coming in…any word on who else is pitching today?

  6. Nate W. says:

    I’m curious to see if Sosa goes two innings. The Mets should be preparing him to be a starter given the status of Duque and lack of depth. They can always convert him to a starter later, cant go the other way though.

    • Nate W. says:

      whoops, I meant they could convert him to a reliever later… duh!

      but curiously he is done after one inning.

  7. Nate W. says:

    when did it become commonplace for there to be DH’s in NL ST games? I remember there being exceptions for certain hitters a couple years ago, now it seems like its all the time…

  8. Airfeet says:

    Sosa is not good enough to be a starter….hes a mediocure reliever at best

    • Nate W. says:

      He’s good enough to fill in when needed.

      If he doesnt stretch out his arm then the Mets are just closing off one option for a starter.

  9. mdemaio says:

    Umpires are in midseason form…strike zone is all over the place…

  10. gipper913 says:

    Boy, Niese is young….and nervous to be interviewed on TV. Nice job on the mound though!

  11. jimmyjack says:

    Why are these games not televised in HD? I remember last year only mets home games were in HD..is this going to be resolved for this year perhaps?

  12. shamsky says:

    Folks, I’m afraid the career of Carlos Delgado may be over…

  13. Nate W. says:

    it looked to me that they went knee to knee, this could be bad…

  14. kendychavez says:

    church and marlon collide and are coming out. i got the radio on, where are they hurting?

  15. gipper913 says:

    Chruch got his bell rung….Marlon’s jaw and perhaps wind knocked out. Really was close to a nice catch by church…the collision knocked it out. They both seem to be walking okay….NOW Feliciano’s glove hand just got smacked.

  16. kendychavez says:

    church and marlon smack into each other, feliciano was getting checked out by the trainer a minute ago, reyes took a foul ball off his leg earlier, what a nightmare. can we just forfeit?

  17. GetsByBuckner415 says:

    Why does this season all of the sudden have an utter sense of doom…Beltran, Castillo, Delgado, Church, Anderson, Sanchez all not 100% yet…unbelieveable…never fails for us Met fans.

  18. bigNJ says:

    where is all this crap about delgado coming from??

    do you actually have a legit source or are you talking out of your ass?

  19. dboy0308 says:

    hahah did anyone just see when they just showed jose valentine on the mets bench and he points at the guy next to him and did the bee-jay hand gesture thing? its about 100x funnier just cause its valentine

    • gipper913 says:

      What’s Bobby V doing there?

      Oh….you mean Valentin (no e). Jose V. So easy for a big Mets fan to misspell our players names, since they never show the names in graphics on TV, or in the papers, or, you know, write them on the back of the jerseys or anything like that!

    • Angelzero360 says:

      LOL That was funny. I couldn’t stop laughing. Did you see the kids fighting ?? omg best fight ever

  20. Nate W. says:

    Bobby Freaking Parnell!

  21. Charlie says:

    Can we finally just admit it to ourselves? Carlos Delgado will never be a threat in our lineup every again. Since his defense is awful, can we move on and try to replace him post haste?

    • GetsByBuckner415 says:

      Well at least we only have to see Delgado swing late on fastballs for one more season.

  22. metsftw says:

    how about those kids fighting? LOL

  23. GetsByBuckner415 says:

    Great…Church has a concussion which means he will be out at least 2 weeks and Delgado has a bad hip which will slow him up on fastballs even more.

    I guarantee that by the trading deadline, Omar will be looking for a power bat.

  24. metsftw says:

    what a catch!!! endy who? haha

  25. Hit By pitch to score a run..I’ll take it!

  26. metsftw says:

    interesting end…

    i hate the HOO in between “let’s go mets”

  27. Another Matt says:

    Nice graphic at the end… we just beat the LA Cardinals, apparently!

  28. GetsByBuckner415 says:

    Put it in the books…we win.

  29. JNGordon says:

    Your friend at NYU could lose his/her job for revealing medical information. It violates a federal privacy law. Even for a public figure.

  30. JNGordon says:

    If a players’ contract has a provision where the team or league can release medical information that is one thing. Hospital employees have no such freedom under any circumstances. They even have signs in elevators warning not to discuss patients in public where they may be overheard.

  31. mhochman says:

    Wow, way to jump to conclusions, which Crystal Ball are you using? could you get me tomorow’s lottery numbers please!

  32. gipper913 says:

    Seriously, who said out for season?

  33. Koko says:

    I guess your friend wasn’t versed in HIPAA compliance at this ‘ny medical hospital’.

  34. Koko says:

    The AP/Mets don’t work for the hospital. HIPAA only involves care by the hospital. So unless Delgado signed a statement telling your friend that he could divulge the results of the x-ray your friend is in violation.

    It has nothing to do with the actual x-ray or the procedure that took occurred. It is the medical care professionals that are under these regulations.

  35. mhochman says:

    As i have family in the medical busines, i can tell you that you are 100% wrong, No employee of any heathcare agency, can disclose any patient care information, be it X-Rays, Brain Scans, or the fact that the poor man had a thorn in his paw, without the consent of the patient, Period.

  36. bigNJ says:

    no they werent……..and it seems like this so called “source” from the hospital doesnt exist……legal issues aside…….its not correct

    nice try dumbass
