What?
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…
no it’s not. he hit his right hand. it is his left is infected.
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?
“Can they have Schneider call the game from the dugout?”
GREAT idea! :)
Get Schneider a seat behind homeplate!!!
Mike Piazza anyone?!
No.
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.
any chance mike nickeas gets called up?
yea slim to none
Infected …. left … thumb? Ugghhhhhhh.
Snake bit…
Next thing we’ll find it it had to be amputated…
come on, be practical. lol
Expect the unexpected with this franchise…
He should have quit smoking sooner……there goes his left thumb.
that stinks…especially since the starters seem most comfortable when he is calling the game
i am afraid for mike pelfrey. mike REALLY like haves brian behind the plate
*likes having
Where is Defeliece? It’s about that time of the year when the Mets sign him.
Tampa Bay beat them to it…
Yes, and then DFA’ed him. Hey Mike, I think you can get your job back!
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (and can she catch?)
Better Carmen Sandiego than Benito Santiago.
No good
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?
didn’t we have the hip problem last year?
last year/spring training
We had Alzheimers already too, at least in the dugout.
Art Howe struggled to remember whether Dontrelle was a lefty or righty.
Bubonic plague.
the injury business with this team is so bizarre… how the heck does he have an infected left thumb?
Hmmm, possibly the victim of an “elephant walk.”
LOL!!!!!
isn’t Castro just a matter of days away?
CRAP!!!!!
You mean Carp?
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!!!
Well Delgado used to be a catcher…..
an infected left thumb/??
you can’t be serious.
the mets makes me laugh. if nothing else, they do that.
how does a trainer not help with this before it gets infected???
Sometimes a blood clot develops a few hours after the injury took place. It’s very often that by the time you notice it (and the blood clot forms) it is already infected. Sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes much more. One thing’s for sure, he won’t be able to use that finger for anything for at least a few days…
Gustavo Molina rules. If Brian goes down, I really hope Molina gets the nod over Casanova.
PIAZZA DAMMIT!!
its only temporary, and the mets are a-holes if they dont consider this..just sign him through this season..he can fill in for the other catchers..possibly first base for delgado, and can pinch hit..COME ONE METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you care about the damn fans, you’d let this happen…especially sheas final year
Try posting again once you sober up…
“he can fill in for the other catchers..possibly first base for delgado”
Really? Have you seen Mikey over the last few seasons? Frankly, the last thing I want to see is a broken down Piazza tarnishing the legacy he left during his stay here.
Mike couldn’t tarnish his legacy here if he shot HGH on live TV, packed a bong on the mound, threw firecrackers at Make-A-Wish Foundation kids, squirted bleach at Keith, Ron and Gary, held a circle jerk in the bullpen, and hit Johan with a golf club.
I think he’d be seen as the second-greatest-Met ever coming out of retirement to help out the team one more time.
Even if he hit .210, he’d still be better than Molina/Casanova and Delgado. And it’d be a thrill.
I miss the big lug, in case you can’t tell.
you paint quite a picture
I guess it happened when he got hit with a foul tip last night. Molina looked good in spring. However, so did Casanova.
Is Sandy Alomar, Jr. still hanging around?
I believe he is the organizational catching instructor…
Even better – bullpen catcher. He’s at Nationals Park, in uniform. And he was pretty good for backup C last year.
god hates the mets
…but according to a t shirt I saw, jesus hates the yankees. must be a father/son thing.
i saw this shirt on BustedTees
day to day

you make it look so depressing
it is my newest piece of spoken word
i call it “black and blue and orange”
Awesome, buddy.
I just changed my facebook status to say I’m “irritated by Brian Schneider’s thumb,” and then I realized how very wrong that sounded. Oops.
Since when the Schieder become Jimmy Rollins?????
This is a bigger deal than one might think. Not having B Schneider could have a deleterious effect on the pitching staff.
Schneider: “Look at my infected left thumb. Gee, you’re dumb.”
wow! how many time can you get struck by lightning?
idk. ask brian
I feel bad for Mike Pelfrey since he does really well with Schneider behind the plate. I seriously doubt its a coincidence that his bad game was with Casanova catching.
it was also in Philly in a bandbox and a great Left handed hitter smacking 2…besides that..what was so bad about his night?
cassanova f-ing sucks
mackey sasser anyone?
Wheres Mike DiFelice when you need him?
DFA’ed by the Rays and a free agent…anyone know the over/under on the Mets picking him up yet again (in all fairness to Mike, he does call a better game than Casanova)?
Uh oh Cassanova.
Molina has been playing pretty well in AAA:
.288 BA
4 extra base hits (out of 15 hits)
14 Ks though.
At 26 it would be nice to see what he can do. Don’t know how he calls a game, defense, etc, but he has to be worth a start over Casanova just to see what he can do…right?
Infected thumb is bad, but still not as bad as Kas Matsui and his anal fissure.
At least ‘Nova doesn’t have a huge mole on the side of his head.
Mets should inquire about Laird. Scheider / Laird combo would be nice.
… and Casto isn’t coming back anytime soon.
Do the Mets not provide antibacterial soap and neosporin or do baseball players not wash their hands often?
they wash their hands in dirt.
the response here is pretty funny in light of the winter conversations/appraisals of schneider. He’s really made an impact with us in a short time.
*’funny’ meaning bitterly humorless, at the moment
UMMMM… does anyone else think we should scrap Casanova and get Castro back into this lineup…… Who cares if he can’t run… He’ll just have to hit homers and then he can jog.
we should try to steal saltalamacchia from the rangers AAA team!
What the hell is an infected thumb? Did he have a cut that got infected? Is it something inside his thumb? This is so bizarre. What the hell is going on??????????
hangnail?
Hello fellow Met Fans, I’ am currently trying to get together 12 including myself Met Fans to be in a Fantasy BaseBall League on MLB.com that will allow trades, For all that are interested please join up at MLB.com, then go to the Fantasy Link & choose the MLB.com 2008 Open link, then create your new team, and then choose to join a private league. You will then be asked to type in the league name and then the password. The league name is – MLB FANtasy 08
and the password is – fantasy08
Thank you all & I hope you join
we didn’t need that right now
is this a joke?
He can have my thumb… both. This is ridiculous!!!!
you can also email me & I will send you a link to join the fantasy league, my email is BklynMetFan08 (at) yahoo.com
u have got to be kidding me!
You don’t own that fanstasy league.
You don’t own anything about it.
Gustavo Molina was great during the spring and is playing well in AAA. .288 1 HR 8 RBIs
If Schnieder is out hopefully Molina gets a look… but come on Casanova isn’t that bad
Actually, I think he is that bad. And old.
Get Molina up here if Schnieder hits the DL, then in 2 weeks, demote whichever one is doing the worst.
Every Trainer on this team should be FIRED!!!!!!!!
agreed.. wash your hands and get behind the plate,
wasn’t Cassanova great in the spring as well?
Nova is a hoe bag baseball player
touche
Rubin updated his blog. Schneider is not going on the DL. Molina is being called up and Brady Clark is the roster casualty.
I don’t see why everyone is so down on Casanova actually. He is 4 hits in a whopping 19 ABS. He made a few nice plays in the field. That diving catch, throwing out Soto, and I remember he threw out a guys trying to steal second… It’s debatable whether or not he calls a bad game. tonight would be a good test with Ollie. I can live with him for now. I wouldn’t want him to have to fill in long term obviously
I don’t think there was one intelligent comment on this message board, except the most recent (metties1).
Schneider has an infected right thumb. Something any of you can contract, and something trainers can’t prevent from happening. He was in Washington, D.C. – saw a specialist. They flew him back to New York, where he is being hospitalized while doctors take care of it.
Next, you’ll blame the trainers for Reyes’ decline in stolen bases by season’s end. Jease.
Once again … you all make me sick.
booo hooooo
