News: Cerrone breaks toe
By Ted Berg - Jul 2, 2008 9:57 am

According to a source close to MetsBlog.com, Matt Cerrone injured his toe while getting ready for work this morning and took himself to the emergency room for x-rays.

Cerrone, who has previously been bothered by knee problems and peanut butter, is expected to miss at least several hours of posting on MetsBlog.

…i get the sense that he will be okay, but apparently the toe is in bad shape… no word on whether the injury will require a walking boot or a stint in extended spring training…

Update…

X-rays revealed a severe break. Doctors have confirmed that Cerrone will require crutches and walking boot.

…amazing… this team just can’t avoid the injury bug…

Reports are murky, but I think he honestly just stubbed it.

Man. I hate boring injuries. He should have at least made it interesting.

BTW Bloggers need to get into the 21st century. You can’t be having professionals walking around a house with things they can stub their toes on. Now, we are without our best blogger. Interleague-blogging is getting old!

Matt Cerrone has been designated for assignment. The Mets have ten days to trade him, or he’ll report back to Metsblog.

Tell the truth, it’s really a bunion, right?

I don’t mind that he injured his toe…what really irks me is the way he threw down his coffee mug after the injury. Did you see how he just walked over to the front door on his way to the hospital?

Seems to me that if Cerrone actually cared, he would have thrown less of a tantrum and made the effort to get to the hospital more quickly.

So immature..trade him. NOW!

Post of the year, thanks Ted!
I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1.
Feel better Matt! Are you rehabbing in Brooklyn or Kingsport?

I think we would all prefer it to be April 1 so this season could start over

Maybe he can get his boot signed by Hernandez.

And here we were, hoping to trade him for a Right Handed Firstbaseman — what type of trade value will he have now? Who they calling up to replace him? Is this going to be another stint of Robinson Cancel?

And if Willie was Manager, this never would have been allowed to happen

This post and string of replies is making it hard to feel sorry for Matt. Hilarity

‘well played’ Ted!

Yes it is. Matt is going to come back and be like:

“Dude. You are making my fans laugh. We can’t have any of this. These are METS FANS. They do not laugh!”

Peanut butter?

OK. Here’s what you do. Smear the peanut butter all over your toe, then have the dog lick it off. The doggy spit will heal your toe in no time at all!

BTW, I’m looking forward to reading the incredibly embarrassing story that precedes this.
