Pepsi Refresh Pre Game: Mets at Nationals (Game 3)
Update, 2:45 pm:
Jerry Manuel told reporters Jose Reyes felt discomfort while running yesterday, and will be re-examined today.
Manuel believes the team and Reyes will make a decision regarding surgery as soon as tomorrow, though a team spokesman quickly dismissed that any such timetable exists.
…ugh… get ready to mull over endless talk about why reyes didn’t have surgery months ago, and, because of the delay, how he now might not be ready for Opening Day… again, ugh…
To hear more from Manuel, tune in to SNY’s Pre Game Live at 6:30 pm.
