Health: The List of Injuries
By Matthew Cerrone - Mar 5, 2008 9:23 pm

…ok, let’s try and go over this one more time…

Duaner Sanchez is temporarily sidelined due to soreness in his surgically-repaired right shoulder.

Ryan Church had tried to work out today, but felt dizzy and so he will remain sidelined until he is back on his feet after having suffered a concussion in a collision with Marlon Anderson, who bruised his chest.

Moises Alou will likely miss 4-6 weeks due to hernia surgery.

Carlos Delgado took ground balls and hit off a tee on Wednesday, and did not feel pain in his hip.  He will try to take batting practice tomorrow.

Carlos Beltran has yet to play in a spring training game, as he continues to recover from off-season surgery.  He says he will be ready for opening day.

Orlando Hernandez threw his first complete bullpen session and did not complain of any pain after it was done.

Endy Chavez and Jose Valentin took batting practice and ran the bases on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Both expect to play in a game this weekend.

Ruben Gotay has a sprained ankle.

Michel Abreu has been sidelined with a strained right hip flexor.

Brian Schneider has missed the last few games with a strained hamstring.  However, he has been taking batting practice and catching back at camp.

Also, my back hurts and I may be getting a sinus infection.

i know why all of these injuries are happening!!!

the team was forced to cut the strength and conditioning coach and all of the medical staff due to the price of santana…. and they’ve been hiding this from the public!! it all makes sense now…

Some of these players appear like they never pass a fast food restaurant without Super Sizing everything.

We need to change our team name to the New York “Walking Wounded” or the “Who Will Go Down Next”…are you kidding me ? This is crazy !!! Hey, can we get Carlos Gomez back ? And is Moises ever going to play more than 100 games in a season for the Mets ???

Matt, you need to stay healthy; do you play any 1B?

no, he is a pitcher, but he has developed a new change up recently.

Matt, get that parabolic dish off of your head. That should help alleviate the back pain. Also, remember to drink plenty of fluids. I think lack of fluids is what did Al Franken in.

i thought Al was alive. It’s just his career that died.

Well, it was really only his SNL character. I’m sure Al himself is still alive and kicking.

Al Franken: Uh, yes, Dennis.. about five days ago, my high-mobility multi-purpose vehicle.. ran out of gas. I’m gonna pan over there now - it’s a very difficult maneuver.. because the dehydration and 120° heat.. has left me in a weakened state. So weak, in fact, that I am not absolutely certain whether I am actually, uh.. talking to you.. or simply hallucinating.

I’m sure Matt is in better shape than that. :-)

this is ridiculous…any ideas for a new strength and conditioning coach?

Comment by Charlie

how does he help prepare the body for:

1) concussions due to collisions (church/anderson)
2) age (alou/delgado/el duque/abreu/valentin)
3) wear and tear injuries (castillo/beltran)
4) regular soreness (sanchez/schneider)
5) injuries incurred outside of team oversight (endy)

how does one prepare for the removal of a bunion? I mean there’s no way Old Duque saw that one coming, right?

Gotay probably isn’t making the team, man.

i sprained my ankle last friday (playing basketball). i was told by my doctor buddy (who examined me this weekend), that it would be 4-6 weeks until i was pain free. my sprain was pretty bad, though.

Comment by da burg's greatest

yeah, sprains are worse than breaks. a break you are in a cast for 4 weeks and you are good to go in 6. sprains can be a 2 week thing, or they can be a 4 month thing. you never know.

I’m surprised Johan didn’t hurt himself yesterday when Matt was trying to pull the ball out of his hands!

Keep the faith fellas, its a long season and a few months from now these injuries will be a distant memory. Lets go Mets!

with all the postive things happening, with a lot of negatives. i think it is signs of things to come..we must make a move or two..delgado and alou are a huge chunk of our offense.plus how is church going to handle lefties?

 
2008-03-05 21:35:30

all these players are hurt? when did this happen? did anyone else know this?

Off topic, but, how do you guys go about getting Bold & Blue screen names?

Do you have to post a certain amount of times or be initiated Tri-Lam Fraternity style? Hotel Coral Essex anyone?

2008-03-05 21:48:37

no, on your word press profile page there is an option to include a link to any website you want. Just insert a link and save, and then your handle will show up blue and bold on metsblog

Idk wat to say except. WERE mets fans we should have expected this.

I think it will be alright, things will work out i know it. People will step up.

Don’t forget Castillo - we paid him $25 million, he got his knees cleaned out and he hasn’t played a game either.

Since we’re all in a bad mood anyway, I’d just like to pile on and restate my position that the Milledge trade SUCKED.

Comment by x-nady
2008-03-05 21:50:05

Regardless, he is gone. Get over it. He will be exposed to be the over confident, undisciplined brat that he is with that gnats lineup around him anyway.

Does this mean that F-Mart starts the season with the team? How sweet would that be to give him a taste?

2008-03-05 21:53:18

Too early. We have to stop rushing these guys. He’s 19 for god’s sake. There’s more than enough time for him to play in the major leagues. Now is just not the time.

Comment by ASod1975
2008-03-05 22:37:24

Yeah exactly. Remember Victor Diaz looked really good in camp a few years back, bringing all those Mini-Manny comparisons. Now I truly believe F-Mart is the real deal, but let’s see him get a few more minor league ABs to get some more experience. If he thrives at AA or AAA this year, a late-season call-up isn’t out of the question (and if the injuries keep hitting the way they’re hitting, it could be earlier than late-season).

As I recall we also “rushed” another promising outfielder to Shea back in the 80’s…….aside from the drug and personal issues, he did pretty well (and from what’s been written the last few days, it seems he’s in good enough shape to jump in there and probably perform as well or better than some of the walking wounded !)
