Metsblog Asks Why Is Jeff Francoeur Playing?

Matt Cerrone on Mets Blog nails it…

Prior to the game, Jerry Manuel explained to WFAN that Francoeur will require surgery on the ligament in his hand, because, while he can play, he runs the risk of being out ‘for an extended period of time,’ should he do something, like slide funny, and do additional damage.  If this is the case, why is he playing?

The answer is because the Mets have not proven themselves to be overcautious with injuries.   We all know the list – from flying Church around to Santana’s timing,

It sure can’t be because they think an extra win or two is going to calm the savages.
