Mets Spring Game #5

Well, since the game was a total and complete blowout, I will jump into it later.

To briefly sum up, the Mets took on the Tigers at Port St. Lucie today, and stomped them 13-1. The Tigers had virtually their entire starting lineup there and it mattered not.

OK, the more important news was that Johan Santana threw today, testing the elbow that he has had tightness in and caused absolute panic all over Mets Nation.

He came out of it feeling fine, and the team actually canceled the schedule of sending him to New York tomorrow (a day off) for an MRI.

Not sure if I totally agree with THAT, I’d feel much better if he at least got an MRI done in Florida (they must have one sitting around down there somewhere, right?) and sending the results for evaluation. Couldn’t hurt, and might spot something that is not felt yet. I’d prefer we be 100% certain, but who am I? Just a Mets Blogger.

Anyway, the offense looked GREAT, obviously, and that is a good thing, since we will be losing much of the team to the WBC (15 Mets total are playing), so no name kids and scrubs? Here is your shot at stardom (or at least catching the eye of a scout or two) starting Tuesday!

Oh, well. Enjoy the day off (even though we have not had baseball since October…) and the updates will resume then, although if I get a hair across my but I my actually don the analysts hat and do some player profiling of my own.

Oh, and as always, if Shane Victorino is crossing the street in front of you, “accidentally” slipping your foot off the brake and hitting the gas COULD be justified.

Not death, mind you, but a few weeks on the DL would be good for his mental acuity!

LET’S GO METS!
