Reyes Out Saturday and Sunday

Gwreck Jul 08 2006 12:15 AM

Source: Mets.com 7 Stitches in his finger. ]Reyes said there was a large amount of blood from the wound, and that he was told he would not play on Saturday or Sunday. Currently listed as day-to-day after X-rays on the finger were negative, Reyes' status for the All-Star Game at Pittsburgh will be re-evaluated on Sunday. ]Reyes said he felt the instinct to dive head-first into the base, trying to beat out an infield hit on a ground ball to Jacobs. He said he "hopefully" would not try it again, though he naturally intends to continue sliding head-first on stolen base attempts. "When we're in the game, we don't think about it," Reyes said. "We just do it. It's tough." I hope Wille fines him or something. NEVER SLIDE into first base!

The way he slides, he's lucky it wasn't his tongue. He'll be fine. When will I see Delgado again?

It's almost a good injury, in that it's not serious, and may teach him not to slide into first again. But I doubt that he will learn his lesson.

Nobody needs that finger - get it amputated and get him back in there.
