The Mets are injured. Really injured.

Posted on June 24, 2009

Let's look at the Mets injured last shall we:

Carlos Delgado out with hip surgery. (10 weeks)
Return: August

Jose Reyes out with a torn right hamstring. (4-6 weeks)
Return: Unknown

Angel Pagan out with a groin injury. (2-3 weeks)
Return: Elligble to return

Carlos Beltran out with a bone bruise on his knee. (2-4 weeks)
Return: Unknown

Oliver Perez out with an inflamed knee. (2-3 weeks)
Return: 2 more starts

John Maine out with a fatigued shoulder. (2-3 weeks)
Return: 1 more start

Now Gary Sheffield got a cortisone shot earlier today and will not be put on the Mets List, i mean Disabled List. It's a matter of time before he goes on the DL. This is actually really bad. The Mets entire opening day roster, it seems, has gotten injured, or will appear to get injured. With the luck this team has, I'd hire a hundred guards to watch Wright and Santana. They need the protection, badly.
