Carols Beltran sits today, with what is believed to be pink eye. I could go down the "what's next, chicken pox" route, but I won't do that. But come on, doesn't it seem that this team just has plain bad luck? K Rod had pink eye last year, and when was the last time you heard of any other MLB player having pink eye? I'm still shocked that Ike is on the DL, after what looked like the kind of bump you may experience in the office if you round a corner without looking. The next night, Robinson Cano was hit in the head with a fastball. Cano is fine, Ike goes on the DL. Maybe we need more garlic at Citi Field.Some of the injury news isn't so bad. Pagan is beginning baseball activities, and Beato is throwing, and may be close. And even Johan is throwing from the slope of the mound, butI'm getting way ahead of myself.
The Dickster was bad today, and he's been bad pretty much all year. I'm a little concerned by his post game comments, that they've been hitting weak ground balls that find holes off of him. Hey, RA, you've got to be better, plain and simple. He's actually been the weakest of the starting 5, and that was not expected. Tomorrow, Capuano goes for the "two out of three", and I think it's really important to get that game. Houston is a bad team, and the Mets have to continue the march to .500. I just said "march to .500", it's nice to have such high expectations!
