Jose Reyes and trainer Ray Ramirez were in a car accident Monday, the team told reporters following last night’s game.

Reyes and Ramirez were not injured in the accident

According to Matt Gelb in the Star-Ledger, “Reyes and Ramirez were rear-ended by a firetruck on the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge sometime Monday while driving to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan for a check-up visit.”

…a) thankfully reyes and ramirez are ok… which, given the way injuries are flying around this team, is a miracle

…b) notice the writer of the Star-Ledger article… yes, it’s Matt Gelb… back in 2005, around the same time i started MetsBlog, matt teamed up with the guys on Mets Geek… he has since graduated from college, and is working for the Star-Ledger, where he’s been filling in as a beat writer this week… good for you, matt
