As Shannon and Han Solo would say,” I have a bad feeling about this.”
This is going to be even more of a trying season for the Mets if this is true.
One member of the Mets’ organization said that the team is ready to shut down the rehabilitation schedule for Santana if he does not feel comfortable after what is expected to be a simple session of playing catch.
I wonder if they will shut him down from using twitter too. Don’t want to put extra strain on his shoulder.
According to the source, Santana has not been progressing in his return to light throwing and the team is concerned enough to halt this section of his rehabilitation. By doing so, the Mets’ timetable of a possible late-June, early-July return to the team would likely be wiped out.
Uggggh!
Santana underwent surgery in September to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder. Mark Prior and Chien-Ming Wang each underwent a similar surgery and have yet to win another game in the major leagues.
This could be bad. But Santana is the epitome of MAN UP AND PLAY BETTER. He will put the team on his shoulders and give it his all. If anyone can come back from surgery and pitch like he used it will be number 57.
Internally, the Mets believe they’ll be “lucky” if Santana pitches this year.
I am going to grab a four leaf clover and maybe a rabbits foot and send it over to flushing right now. Maybe that will help.

Look nobody wants to hear it, but the Mets are packing it in this year. What is the difference if we finsh 30 games out or 35 games out of first place, or 4th or 5th.
This is a lost year…get used to it!…save your money for 2012, just like the Mets are doing (Whats left of it!)
Meh… I wasn’t expecting to see Santana pitch effectively this year anyway. If he’s able to contribute, great. It’s more important to make sure he’s ready for 2012.
The Santana trade, which once looked like a brilliant deal, is rapidly turning out to have been a bust. No sooner did he arrive here than he lost 3 mph off his fastball, and now he’s injury prone, and like most, if not all Mets, he is not a fast healer.
