Anyone else notice Schneider get injured in last nights game?

I think it was on one of Milledge’s foul tips that caught Schneider in the thumb?

schneider’s left thumb is covered by a catcher’s mitt when he is in the feild. I don’t think the foul tip did it this time.

It was his right hand. He had the hand behind his back and Milledge fouled it off the plate then the ball spun back between Schneider’s legs and nipped him on his fingers. This is certainly it…unless he cut it somehow after the game…

Timing sucks on this one. Right before a big series with the Braves where Mets pitching will have to be at their best vs. Hudson and Smoltz.

Instead we have to have Casanova who calls a crappy game, or a relative unknown.

Can they have Schneider call the game from the dugout?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Honestly, what are the chances he does worse than Casanova and the Other Molina?

Castro, please!!! Hurry up buddy… You don’t run anyway, let’s get a good look at you.

Great. Can’t wait to see Casanova go 0-4 on a nightly basis!

In all seriousness, assuming Schneider is on the DL, who is next on the depth chart to be the backup?

Gustavo Molina would be next in line if Schneider has to go on the DL.

Let me get this straight:

Infected left thumb

Stiff Neck

Hernia

Bunion

Are we talking about a team of relatively-young, conditioned athletes or the convalescent wing at an old folks nursing home?

What’s next, a broken hip? Cataracts? Alzheimers?

Comment by NYMetsGrrl94
2008-04-24 16:23:39

didn’t we have the hip problem last year?

We had Alzheimers already too, at least in the dugout.
Art Howe struggled to remember whether Dontrelle was a lefty or righty.

I can’t wait for Carp to get up here just so he can do something big and steal the back pages.

You know they won’t miss…

HOLY CARP!!!
