I WAS RIGHT. ADMIT IT...I WAS RIGHT.

Tick, tick, tick...

No Pedro or Glavine means El Duque, Maine, Traschel. Not going to get the Mets out of the NLDS.

Did Pedro and Glavine have season ending surgery?

Again Yankee fans need to worry about the Yankee staff.

On a more serious note, any post deadline moves they can make? I know Philly got Jamie Moyer the other day, and while he clearly wouldn't be a difference maker....what if the Mets went out and got a high dollar, high quality pithcer that most teams wouldn't take off the wire due to salary.

Give up a couple of prospects for a guy like C.C. Sabathia or Jason Schmidt?

I can only speak for myself here but I'm not "worried" about the Mets staff at all. However, as a fan of baseball I like to discuss the penant races and what a slew of other teams can do, should do, shouldn't do, etc...

As for the Yankees, there's no point in worrying because they have what they have and that's what they're going to battle with. Does that mean I wouldnt like to have Roy Halladay on the staff? Nope. Just means he won't be on the staff. The Mets on the other hand are locked in to a playoff spot with Pedro on the DL, Glavine and the reported possibility of him missing the rest of the season and beyond El Duque there are no proven starters. It's worthy of discussion for baseball fans. Something to worry about for Mets fans.

Agree but it's August 21st and Glavine and Pedro have not been ruled out for the post season.

Pedro is a calf injury and should be fine. Glavine we will have to wait and see.

I highly doubt Sabathia is available with his stuff and age. Indians would be crazy to entertain moving him.

Schmidt maybe if the Giants fall out but I doubt he'd get far enough through waivers for the Mets.

Sabathia probably wouldn't make it through waivers, Schmidt though, based on some injury history and his salary is a guy most teams wouldn't be willing to spend big money on if it's just to stop another team from getting him.

Not to say it wouldn't happen, but I just thing the Mets have to make some kind of move or their WS hopes are in serious jeopardy.

Glavine out for the year?posted: Sunday, August 20, 2006 | Feedback | Print Entry

Early yesterday morning, this ominous bit of information showed up on an ESPN message board regarding Tom Glavine, from daveinNY:

Blot (sic) clot in arm, season ending surgury, rest of career in question.


This morning, there is more, this from the Daily News and Adam Rubin, who reports that Glavine is in the process of being evaluated.

It goes without saying that any season-ending injury would be devastating to the Mets' hopes for advancing deep into the playoffs. On some days, Pedro Martinez may be the best pitcher that the Mets have, but over the course of this long season, Glavine has led the staff, setting the tone with his preparation and competitiveness and his effectiveness.

There is still a lot we don't know about what the ramifications of a blood clot could be for Glavine. The problem could end his season, could end his quest for 300 career victories.

Here's to hoping that doctors give him some good news in the hours ahead.

Tick, tick, tick...
uh, whats the win total?
Again, yankee fans who chastized me in April saying, wait till October,, cant resist doin what they told me not to,,pretty funny actually,,

I think I did a pretty damn good prediction when no one else thought the Mets would be close to Yank win total,,

The Mets are still ahead of Yanks even though with a 14 game lead the motivation of a race isnt there and resting starters is done more with a 14 game lead,,

I am content,,
tick, tick, tick

fixed it
enlighten me? what did u fix?

There is nothing wrong with commenting on the Mets, no matter what team one follows. I wasn't calling anyone out, or raking anyone over the coals. Just stating an opinion, which BTW, I believe many of the resident Mets fans here would concur with. Without those 2 guys available on October 3rd and 4th, the chances of the Mets advancing past the 1st round of the NL playoffs is nil.

IMO.;)

The New York Post is reporting that Tom Glavine, who had a possible blood clot in his shoulder, underwent an angiogram on Monday and will not require surgery.

This is the by far the best case scenario for Glavine and the Mets. He will be treated with medication and should be able to pitch again by next week.

Also hear David Wells cleared waivers .....if the Sox fell out in Sept, I would love for the Mets to try and obtain him as our #2 or 3 starter for the play-offs.

The Mets really dodged a bullet there as long as there aren't any lingering afffects or worsening of the sensation in his hand.

when i read he has a cold sensation in his finger I thought he was already starting to freeze for the playoffs.

Good news for the Mets with Glavine. Keeps the hopes for a Subway Series alive. Anyone who lived in NY City during Oct. 2000 knows what a really great experience it was.

Wells cleared waivers? Surprised a team like the Cards did not put in a claim. He would be the ace of that staff, easily. Look at the ERA's of Weaver, Mulder and Marquez. The Reds could use him also, but they probably have a "budget" in place.

This is something I was actually thinking about the other day in regard to deadline deals. I'm surprised teams like the Reds don't make a run at players with a hefty price tag. This late in the season, the player would be owed a small fraction of his overall salary and if it's a move by a playoff contender, that player would probably have a significant impact on attendance. In addition, if the team can't afford the player for a full season the following year they can just try to trade him away on the cheap.

Yeah he must of cleared waivers after that 1st start cause he looked great Monday and would never pass through both leagues now.
