well i believe he’s playing tom which is a good sign and we’ll know on monday if he’s okay

Just great…they’ll find something that’ll require surgery or minimum a trip to the DL.

The doctors will play it safe this time and advocate rest and rehab.

Now I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I hope I’m wrong…

I have a feeling (bad one too) that you are right, and there is another show. Maybe a small tear of some kind, or some other damage?

Hopefully if there is something to be found, it is one of those “wont make it worse by playing” deals and he can finish the season (although that never seems to work out for the Mets).

The way the leg problems are piling up for Carlos, I’m thinking it is less likely he will be here after his contract expires (he may not be able to walk by then!) If nothing else, he may have to shift to LF to save wear on the legs.

He went flipping when he got clipped by the SS on a shallow fly, but I didn’t hear what the injury result was.

torn acl i believe out for the season

Torn ACL and MCL, as well as strains.

Out until the 2010 ASB if he’s lucky.

The surgery will happen in several weeks after the swelling goes down.

Really bad.

i don’t understand, it’s either the fact that all these players stopped using steriods, which would be very sad, or our trainers SUCK. How do you have just about every important player on the team and their back ups injured or on the DL.
