Green Seaver Mets jersey
The Irish in me wants this. Plus it will annoy Osh41.
The $179 in my wallet wants to stay there.
Busy day for me after another no-sleep night, so fortunately I usually have lots of posts sitting around (like this one) so all I had to do is juggle my schedule.
Today I have some athletics, some parading, more athletics, then I can collapse on my couch.
At $179 I won’t be buying this, but it would come in handy at the parade.
UH OH. This Could Be Bad
To quote Shannon and Han Solo, “I have a bad feeling about this”.
I hope this is just rumors and fake hollywood special effects smoke and not the real stuff. Because you know where there is smoke there is…you know. I just hope it isn’t 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 down him using twitter for fear of carpal tunnel syndrome.
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.
The Mets are really going to have a lot of things to fall into place this season for it to go well.
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 was the quote that really scares me. If Santana is out for the season, will it just be for this season? Will he be able to come back and be the pitcher he as been. Santana has been the epitome of Man Up and Play Better. He does just that.
