I think every hitter the Mets started with has hit the DL save these four.

metirish Aug 06 2009 11:37 AM

Wright , but of course this thread will jinx him .

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2009 12:16 PM

It's like "Harper's Island" in pinstripes/blacks/snow-whites! It has to be Reed... but only after he takes over, say, second base and slugs .700 for September. (In all seriousness, any sort of realistic gauge I've got for these injuries is out the window at this point.)

LOL....I actually watched every episode henry would play Wright in the made for TV movie...

Edgy DC Aug 06 2009 12:28 PM

The answer is Reed, of course.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 06 2009 12:31 PM

I voted Reed too, mainly because he'll have less opportunity to get hurt. Wright is out there every day.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2009 12:56 PM

Since it's increasingly difficult to enjoy this team on any sort of conventional level, a thin slice of my animal brain is probably going to be watching the rest of the season with a sick sort of focus, like America does NASCAR-- waiting for the inevitable flaming wreck.

smg58 Aug 06 2009 01:46 PM

Reed is the least useful of the four, so of course he'll be the last one standing.

TransMonk Aug 06 2009 02:06 PM

The results of this poll seem to suggest that we are fairly confident Tatis and Murphy will not survive the season without sustaining injury.

="TransMonk"]The results of this poll seem to suggest that we are fairly confident Tatis and Murphy will not survive the season without sustaining injury. Nah, it suggests that all of us are either delusional (those who believe Wright will remain healthy) or cynical (those who believe that of course everyone is going to get hurt except the crappiest player on the list).

Kong76 Aug 06 2009 02:31 PM

I'm going with delusional ... I'd like to see Wright get wicked hot and win the batting title in spite of the cards the team's been dealt.

Edgy DC Aug 06 2009 02:33 PM

I'm pretty confident he will. He's only 12 points off the lead as it is.

Kong76 Aug 06 2009 02:37 PM

Wicked hot, like tssst. Many of us are going to watch anyways, might as well have some fun too.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2009 03:35 PM

He'd be the first, no? (Damn you, Willie McGee.)

Kong76 Aug 06 2009 03:49 PM

Didn't even think of that ... added historical pleasure.

Rockin' Doc Aug 06 2009 05:58 PM

I voted for Reed, since Manuel rarely let's him play. Tough to get hurt in the dugout. Of course, Castillo disproved that theory.

DocTee Aug 06 2009 07:22 PM

Mets-Phillies: Shift on for Ryan Howard. Victorino on second. Howard hits a high pop to shallow right field that causes 1B Murphy, RF Reed and SS Tatis to collide. 2B Castillo retrieves dropped ball, fires it to the plate-- his throw hits and injures a concered 3B Wright, who has hastened to the scene of the collision. All four go on the DL simultaneously in a fitting conclusion to 2009.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2009 09:57 AM One thing I think we overlook from last year's collapse and such is that surgery ended Tatis season a few weeks early, and may (or may not) have contributed to his lackluster fallback this season. Edgy DC Aug 25 2009 08:21 AM I think a trophy has to go to Pelfrey, for being the last man standing in the starting rotation.

MFS62 Aug 25 2009 08:48 AM In the case of Tatis, the old saying might be true - if you can't run fast you can't pull a muscle.
