Is this a guy from the minors or something?

i dont think i’ve ever heard of him…hopefully he can be the reliable young sparkplug that this team needs

My guess on his next injury is a bruised coccyx.

El Duques next injury will be a paper cut!

How does this really help us? It just gives Willie more ammo to screw things up with.

I REALLY wish he would just go away…

My money is on the sciatica or ‘whiskey leg’ as the next Duque ailment.

Now don’t do anything sudden and illogical, El Duque…..like putting that boot up for sale on EBAY.

Isn’t there another boot under that boot?

Next on House - “House seems perpelexed that actual spider webs grows inside pitcher’s arm as the team scurries to find the symptoms of elduquechronia.”

JUST LOSE THE BUNION ALREADY!!!! We all know you won’t be back for months anyway!

who cares anymore this guy’s bound to get hurt somehow…in fact tonight my prediction is that he hurts his pinky finger flipping through channels from his sofa

Can we please just ask Alou to pee on his bunions so they’re not a problem anymore.

wait a second. orlando hernandez is still on the Mets? i forgot he was even on the mets.

Other potential El Duque injuries: dropsy, the grip, scrofula, the vapors, jungle rot, dandy fever, poor man’s gout, housemaid’s knee, climatic boo-bow, the staggers, dum dum fever.

OK, I stole those from Abe Simpson.

I’m still waiting for when he misses a game due to ‘Massive Diarrhea’.

Who?

I work in the IT dept of a hospital and one of my friends is surgeon. According to him, a bunion requires surgery to be removed. Have the Mets been given a reason he didn’t have surgery in the off season to remove it???

Hey. I read on ESPN.com “Insider” that Buster Olney is reporting that the Mets are interested in Brewers’ reliever Derrick Turnbow if he would be interested in a minor league contract.

I then went on the Brewers blogs and found some pretty interesting thoughts on NY fans and media. Pretty much the common thread is that if Turnbow thought that the Brewers fans were tough, just wait till he gets to NY! Their feeling is that NY is no place to go if you’re a struggling ball player (especially one with talent) and a fragile ego to boot. The fans and media here are like vultures and prey on players like that. Not an unfair point. E.g. Ed Whitson.

In any event, I wouldn’t be opposed to a minor league deal for Turnbow. Let’s see if he can straighten himself out.

Will get hurt on a collision with Alou during warmups.

any word on when pedro will return?

El doche sucks…everyone should get over him. He’ll be ready in mid-august to come out of the bullpen. Get better socks and clean your foot…

Last I heard he was just about ready to make his first minor league start when suddenly he came down with a rare strain of smallpox.

El Duque should just buy some Gels…. And then he could be gelling like there’s no telling (on the pitcher’s mound….) or in his boot.

I love El Duque jokes.

It just kills me how Omar lets guys like Gotay walk for nothing, but desperately holds on to El Duque, who has been overall mediocre in his tenure with the Mets during the few weeks he hasn’t been on the DL. They don’t need El Duque right now. They need to instead start thinking about long-term solutions for the starting rotation and getting some of the guys in AAA to take it to the next level.
