Sandy Alderson on ESPN NEW YORK

Adam Rubin just tweeted this. Sandy Alderson talks injuries, Jose Reyes and Terry Collins among other things. Shannon would love this. Sandy says Murphy has been taken some criticism but he personifies what the Mets team is – plays with heart and guts.

It’s a good listen even if it is Mike Lupica asking the questions.

Ralph Kiner and Jamie Lee Curtis

Ralph Kiner told the story of when he met former girlfriend Janet Leigh’s daughter at a game down in Philly. For you youngsters out there, Janet Leigh’s daughter is Jamie Lee Curtis. You know the Activia spokesperson.

Funny story.

Murphy Done For Rest of 2011

From Adam Rubin of ESPNNEWYORK

Daniel Murphy suffered a Grade 2 tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and is done for the season, according to a source familiar with the injury. Murphy will not require surgery, but will have a four-month recovery time.Murphy strained the MCL in his other knee last season and also rehabbed the injury. He returned in winter ball wearing a large brace.

I guess there goes the Murphy should be playing second for rest of the year debate. Sorry Shannon. Going to have to stay behind future hall of gamer Jonathan Niese.
