There comes a time when you just have to sit back and shake your head in disbelief at what has become the 2009 season for the Mets. It seems every player needs to be on high alert, because they maybe the next one to go down with an injury. Who would have thought that simply walking walking down the dugout stairs would result in a sprained ankle? Ask Luis Castillo...OUCH!
Then yesterday...Jon Niese goes down and goes down hard. A complete tear of the hamstring, requiring season ending surgery. It is just simply unbelieveable! Then the news of Reyes flying back to NY from rehab because of more discomfort, to find out through an MRI that he has scar tissue that is causing the discomfort...add more time for him on the DL.
I am at a point now where the Mets need to just shut these guys down for the rest of the season. There is no need to rush back Reyes or Beltran for the sake of a season that is all but dead. Let them rehab, take their time and get ready for 2010. The last thing I think any of us want is for these guys to come back, only to re-injure themselves even worse and miss time in 2010.
The Mets need to focus on the long term and not the short term. While I know we all want the Mets to go to the playoffs, but this is a battered team that just needs to rest.

Agreed.This is unprecedented.
Hopefully, we see some fresh faces get called up in Sept. to at least make watching the games interesting.
