Anthony Rieber and Ken Davidoff of Newsday are reporting that after a trip to Cleveland to get more tests that Ryan Church is cautiously optimistic that he will play again this season. Opinions are aplenty with this whole story regarding Church’s health and the way the Mets have handled him. Even Dr. Mike Francesa and nurse Chris Russo said today that Church was most likely done for the season. Well, in an e-mail to Newsday Friday night Church wrote:

“Yes, things went very well and we all are very happy with the news we received,.. “I will be at the field tomorrow to answer any questions that you guys may have!”

Reading about Church’s symptoms made me me cringe. So, hopefully for his sake he is feeling better and will recover 100%. At times I felt like I was watching former Jets Al Toon and Wayne Chrebet all over again. So, get better Ryan and don’t rush back, your health has got to be the number one priority.
