2008 New York Mets

Moises Alou diagnosed with hernia, could be sidelined until mid-May

They need to get rid of this fragile guy, he's always hurt.

Damn, if this were the Yankees they would have fired their fitness trainer long ago.

I'd look for Nick Evans and Dan Murphy to move into the infield if the Mets can't get any trades done.

Evans has been groomed to be the future 1st baseman, but just not this soon. If he impresses this spring, I think he'll be a lock.

Another interesting scenario would be to go crazy and put Wright at 1st and bring Dan Murphy in at 3rd, he's looked strong coming in for Wright in the 2nd have of these spring games.

Has Wright ever played first base? That may be an option, although he has practiced his throws to first.

2008 New York Chokes.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

SANTANA SHARP AGAIN


March 10, 2008 -- PORT ST. LUCIE -- The chance to face an AL team again had Johan Santana looking comfortable in his third spring start today. Santana gave up a leadoff single to Jacoby Ellsbury and was in trouble in the top of the first through no fault of his own because of a one-out error by left fielder Brady Clark on a lazy fly by Jason Varitek. Clark appeared to lose the ball in the sun and let it drop...........

The Mets are a LOCK in the NL East. Too bad my local Comcast doesn't carry that gay homo Mets station.

They need to try and get something for Beltran and Delgado.

Both of them swing like they're not even trying anymore.

Delgado's career is going doing downhill.

I'm surprised you mention Beltran..

Get rid of a guy penciled into one of the more important positions on the field as well as being your #3 or #4 hitter?

Is he really dogging it with that injury?

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think he'll do better next year than he did last year (if he can manage to stay on the field).

I mean, it's only spring, and I'm sure the guy isn't 100%, but I don't think there's any reason to keep this guy around at almost $14mil a year now.

Too many injuries, this season doesn't look good. I see the Phils winning it.

Pedro leaves game with injury

Pedro Martinez was forced to leave Tuesday's Mets-Marlins game with one out in the fourth after clutching his left hamstring on a pitch that resulted in a groundout by Matt Treanor. The initial report was a strained left hamstring.

Pedro is getting too old to pitch this early in the season. He should pull a Clemens and wait until June.

How do you know when the team is too old?

When you can field a team for an old-timers game from the current roster.

Pedro just doesn't have it anymore.

It wasn't like he was lights out before the injury.

He probably shouldn't have even been in the game to begin with.

Have you ever seen his workouts?
He uses like what seems to be 5 pounds weights for curling... he's out of shape. I know you don't have e to be built but I've seen his body and dear lord it's fugly.
It's amazing he threw so fast for a small guy.

Revealed: The Pedro Martinez Workout Routine
Well, I know at least one baseball player who's not on steroids. He goes by the name of Pedro Martinez, and he shaves his armpits.

He's the Soul Glo commercial reject to your right, the newest ace of the New York Mets, the man struggling to throw a couple of 5-pound dumbbells to the sky.
Being that we're almost neighbors now — if you liken the Purple Dump to anything resembling the fashionable and exclusive Upper West Side, home to Yogi's and Gray's Papaya — I was able to gain an exclusive report on Pedro's workout, as he attempts to bolster his scrawny bod and earn his four-year guaranteed contract with the team that fared so well signing Bobby Bonilla, Vince Coleman, Mo Vaughn and Roberto Alomar.
Anyway, here's a look at Pedro's strenuous itinerary...
Warm-Up:
Ride a tricycle for 5 minutes
Jump over a rope
3 push-ups, or until exhaustion
Main Workout
Throw nearest 72-year-old man to the floor
Lift a Saturday edition of the New York Post
Call Nomar to plan 2005 arson of Fenway Park
Shoulder presses with 5-pound dumbbells (unless some chick is using them)
Cool-Down
Stretch Jehri-curls
Scour locker room to see if '86 Mets left any cocaine behind
Scour locker room to see if Kris Benson left horny wife behind
Go home and try to make nice with wingman Nelson de la Rosa

Clearly Pedro wasn't keeping himself conditioned in the offseason. There is no reason to blow out a hamstring in your first start of the season. 2007 Yankees aside, you don't hear of this injury too often with pitchers...usually it's shoulders, elbows, backs and groins.

So I was flipping through the channels the other day and came upon SNY on my Comcast digital cable. They must have just added it because I did not get that channel last year. It's not in HD, but I'll take it.

The Mets are still homos though.
