Press Conference Drama

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2009 02:00 PM

As mentioned in the Rubin thingy, the Mets are supposed to be having a press conference today at 4 (NOW!!!!) to discuss... something. I guess it's Delgado to the DL and ???? getting called up.

Figgy made his way to San Francisco , but we knew that. Don't tell me they made Delgado fly all the way to the West Coast to then DL him....are there camera crews all over the lobby?..

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2009 02:11 PM Jerry Manuel has left his wife for Omir Santos.

Benjamin Grimm May 14 2009 02:18 PM I did a search on Google News, and according to Brian Costa in the Star-Ledger, the subject of the press conference will be Carlos Delgado. John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2009 02:25 PM adam rubin sez: ] Putz out two days with elbow trouble; Delgado 'slight tear' May 14, 2009 J.J. Putz had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed inflammation in the back of the elbow. That has caused a bone spur. Putz took a shot, which will cause him to sit for two days at least. Putz has joined the team in San Francisco after being seen by team doctor David Altchek. "He's had this spur before, and guys sometimes play with it," GM Omar Minaya said. Minaya said Carlos Delgado has an impingement of the hip, which creates a sligt tear. Has also has a bone spur in the hip. Minaya said he will wait through the weekend and see how a new therapy works before making a DL decision. "We're going to have to wait on this before we make a decision on Carlos Delgado," Minaya said. "... The doctors wanted to give it a couple of more days before they make that decision." metirish May 14 2009 02:27 PM Why would you wait on Delgado , I'm not a doctor but I do wear a lab coat and it's my professional opinion that he's going to be DL'ed.... John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2009 02:32 PM Speak Met-ese 2 days = 6 weeks 2 weeks = 3 months soreness = ligament damage impingment = near death "We're going to have to wait on this before we make a decision" = "His kids will grow up without a father" Farmer Ted May 14 2009 02:42 PM "Guys sometimes play with it (bone spur)." Is the Julia Stiles thread again? Edgy DC May 14 2009 02:46 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2009 02:51 PM "We're going to have to wait on this before we make a decision" = "You bastard fans have left me terrified of making a judgment call so I'm hoping fate forces my hand" HahnSolo May 14 2009 02:49 PM The elbow inflammation for JJ Putz is clearly a ruse to stay off Bucket's shit list. sharpie May 14 2009 03:03 PM So we play 12 innings, use everyone on the bench and in the bullpen, fly across country and now we're two players down with no reinforcements. Centerfield May 14 2009 03:08 PM Just DL Delgado already. Even a slight tear sounds scary. bmfc1 May 14 2009 03:12 PM ="sharpie":ko7owbjz]So we play 12 innings, use everyone on the bench and in the bullpen, fly across country and now we're two players down with no reinforcements.[/quote:ko7owbjz] Great point. Add to the mix that F-Rod probably needs a day off. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 14 2009 03:19 PM ="Centerfield":c6iyig4n]Just DL Delgado already. Even a slight tear sounds scary.[/quote:c6iyig4n] I mean, forChrissakes, considering time served at this point, he'd be out a week, tops. Also, if something freakish happens to Tatis, we're down to a Cora/Murphy 1B platoon, and Jerry has nobody to pinch-bunt. themetfairy May 14 2009 03:24 PM ="Centerfield":2w0z2xxy]Just DL Delgado already.

I didn't like it then, either. MFS62 May 14 2009 09:19 PM ="Gwreck":2ewh9qp6]I saw this movie last year with Ryan Church and the do-we or don't-we disable him bit. I didn't like it then, either.[/quote:2ewh9qp6] Wasn't that the one in which they fly the guy across the country, just to make sure the problem is aggrivated before they are sure he is really hurt before they DL him? Yeah, I remember that one. Or is that this sequel? I forget. Later
