Mets Lose 3 Pitchers and Game in One Day
The Mets lost 2-1 to the Florida Marlins last night - who cares?
The Mets lost Billy Wagner when he was traded to the Red Sox for who knows who - who cares?
The Mets lost J.J. Putz for the season as his rehab has experienced a "set back" - who cares? Could Oliver Perez be next?
Then the Mets lost Johan Santana for the rest of the season due to bone chips in his elbow - CARE!!!
Okay, it's not as bad as Tommy John surgery, and he should be ready for the spring - but folks, let's face it: we're talking about the Mets medical staff. And seeing how everyone on the disabled list this year seems to be experiencing "set-backs", Johan may have a better chance with the aliens from Cocoon.
I'm not even going to get into the story about Johan expressing his concern over this elbow after the all-star break while the team (and Jerry Manuel) put him out there every 5th day anyway. But I will say this: when the best pitcher in the game tells you two months ago that his elbow was hurting, you take that concern seriously RIGHT AWAY. You don't wait until it's a serious problem for you to be "terribly concerned". Manuel will not be content until he personally ruins everyone on the team that haven't bought into his "gangsta" mentality.
In the meantime, our suggestion is to place KRod in solitary confinement in an anabolic chamber for his own well-being, as he's the only one on the team to avoid the "Curse of Shea Stadium", which is the only logical explanation I have for the bizarre series of injuries this team has faced this season.
And you don't have to call it the "Curse of Shea Stadium" if you don't want to - any name will do. It can be the "Curse of Citi Field", the "Curse of Bobby Valentine", the "Curse of the Buried Philly Jersey", ... use your imagination. The fact remains that there certainly is a curse in place with this team.
Or could it be bad management, or a bad medical staff, or a bad front-office, or a bad scouting system. Hey! What do you know?... Seems like you'll always find worldly explanations when you try to analyze curses.
