Niese pitching well.
Great…now Delgado’s hurt again.
what happened?
oh nevermind, I thought something happened in the game
Mint – welcome to the second coming of Mo Vaughn. Nothing like having depth at the minor league level. It’s Michel Abreu time!
NADY! go get him. he can platoon with church and spell delgado at 1st.
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…
I’m wondering about Schneider too .. what’s he played like 2 innings so far?
hmm, Manriquez catching Niese makes sense as they may both be at AA. But yea it is a little curious.
i see sosa’s coming in…any word on who else is pitching today?
looks like feliciano is up after sosa
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.
whoops, I meant they could convert him to a reliever later… duh!
but curiously he is done after one inning.
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…
Sosa is not good enough to be a starter….hes a mediocure reliever at best
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.
Umpires are in midseason form…strike zone is all over the place…
Boy, Niese is young….and nervous to be interviewed on TV. Nice job on the mound though!
from Defiance, Ohio…gotta love that town name…he’s definitely green…
Seems to have the right attitude, though….and three Ks in 2ip is pretty nice start to the spring. Oh Jesus….Church and Anderson in horrid collision.
Yikes, that was ugly…
oh my god…communicate guys!!!! eek
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?
Folks, I’m afraid the career of Carlos Delgado may be over…
did i miss something? i mean i know hes getting an mri..but lets not jump to conclusions here
Not good.
it looked to me that they went knee to knee, this could be bad…
They seem to be walking OK…just woozy…
church and marlon collide and are coming out. i got the radio on, where are they hurting?
they’re woozy..marlon was flexing his jaw….church was woozy
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.
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?
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.
where is all this crap about delgado coming from??
do you actually have a legit source or are you talking out of your ass?
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
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!
LOL That was funny. I couldn’t stop laughing. Did you see the kids fighting ?? omg best fight ever
Bobby Freaking Parnell!
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?
Well at least we only have to see Delgado swing late on fastballs for one more season.
how about those kids fighting? LOL
LOL…we have the best broadcast booth in baseball.
Play by play of to kids fighting, followed by:
Keith: It’s not easy to live with someone every day.
Gary: I’m not touching that one.
Long pause
Gary: You and I get along.
LOL
i love those guys
*two kids fighting
I thought maybe they were implying that they didn’t get along with Ron, since he wasn’t there to defend himself, heh
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.
what a catch!!! endy who? haha
Hit By pitch to score a run..I’ll take it!
interesting end…
i hate the HOO in between “let’s go mets”
Nice graphic at the end… we just beat the LA Cardinals, apparently!
Put it in the books…we win.
even though it comes at a price due to Church’s concussion.
Your friend at NYU could lose his/her job for revealing medical information. It violates a federal privacy law. Even for a public figure.
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.
Wow, way to jump to conclusions, which Crystal Ball are you using? could you get me tomorow’s lottery numbers please!
Seriously, who said out for season?
I guess your friend wasn’t versed in HIPAA compliance at this ‘ny medical hospital’.
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.
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.
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
