MLB 2009 Season Thread

[Evil Vito]

Aaaaand David Wright is on the disabled list with post concussion syndrome. Wright felt he'd be good to play in a couple of days but with the Mets out of playoff contention, they learned their lesson from the Ryan Church fiasco last year.

Their disabled list now consists of:

Carlos Beltran
Carlos Delgado
John Maine
Fernando Martinez
Ramon Martinez
Jonathon Niese
Fernando Nieve
J.J. Putz
Jose Reyes
Billy Wagner
David Wright

All 4 core guys in their lineup on the DL at once, 3 of whom are probably in the top 20 or so in the game. If I had known that would happen heading into the season I would have lost all expectations.

Kuroda takes a liner on the head while on the hill and wearing a cap and he's peachy keen, Wright is at the plate and wearing a helmet and goes to the DL.

Hell of a medical staff you got there.

The medical staff has been terrible at injury evaluation this year, but I agree with this one. After the Ryan Church debacle there's no real reason to risk Wright feeling woozy even when he thinks he can play. If they were still in the hunt they'd probably let him play, but at this point it's not worth it.

They are also talking about shutting Santana down once he gets to around 190-200 innings. He threw more innings than he ever has last year, no point in having him throw that many this year in meaningless games.
