Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the New York Mets, they did. A team that's been plagued with injuries all season long continues to struggle, as more names are added to the Disabled List. Injuries have become a daily thing for the ball club, and things aren't going to get much easier with the recent injury of David Wright being added into the mix.
Yesterday in a game against the San Francisco Giants, David Wright was hit in the head with a Matt Cain fastball. Luckily Wright had on a helmet, but the damage was still done as Wright lied motionless for a few minutes while players and trainers helped him to his feet and off the field. Wright is currently labeled as Day-to-day, but it seems his return to the team wouldn't help out too much considering how poorly the has performed all season long without many of their key players. Coming into this season, I had the Mets winning both the NL East, and the World Series. Now it seems they won't even make it to the playoffs.
The team has had just as much misfortune, as they've had injured players. & A little over a week ago, Luis Castillo who was walking back to the dugout after grounding out, ended up slipping on his way down the stairs and twisted his ankle. However he returned to the field after only a few days. Here are a few names that are currently on the Mets Disabled List: Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, John Maine, Fernando Martinez, Ramon Martinez, Jonathon Niese, Fernando Nieve, J.J. Putz, Jose Reyes, and Billy Wagner. Which brings me to my next question, who's next to be added onto the Mets Disabled List....The team's mascot, Mr. Met?
