Mind you, when I say “legs,” it is not to be confused with “gams”, which are great. Seriously though, can someone, anyone tell me what is going on with the legs of Met players?
This year, the Mets have lost Jose Reyes, Angel Pagan, Fernando Martinez, Carlos Beltran, Gary Sheffield, and now Fernando Nieve for differing, often significant amounts of time due to leg injuries.
There’s nothing more disturbing than watching someone run hard to first only to fall to the floor writhing in pain because they “tweaked”, as Met officials would say to you, a quad or a hamstring. Of course, when the Mets say the word “tweak” and “day to day,” you can safely assume they really mean that the guy’s leg is literally on fire and that he’s officially retiring from baseball.
