I don't hear people who are jumping on Heilman saving booing for anybody.

There's really only one possible (and seemingly desired) outcome here is that he plays himself out of the picture under the duress of the the fan vitriol, and when he's traded below value to another team or limps home in his walk year, he finds his abilitites again not with the Mets, but with some other team, at which point the boo-birds open another metophorical vein, and start talking about him not having what it takes to pitch in New York.

WTF?

[Benjamin Grimm]

That does sound a bit disturbing.

Adfam Rubin sez:

]Randolph�s bullpen was woefully shorthanded. Scott Schoeneweis had been hospitalized from 7 a.m. to about 1 p.m. with severe abdominal pain that doctors feared at one point might be appendicitis. Meanwhile, Matt Wise � coming off the DL � shouldn�t have prudently pitched a third straight day. Wise had pitched Monday with St. Lucie when Mets brass presumed he wouldn�t be activated until Thursday. He then pitched Tuesday in his return from the DL. Heilman actually had been pitching fairly well. Over his previous six appearances, he had allowed one run and four hits in 7 1/3 innings. Schoeneweis, a testicular cancer survivor, said he was legitimately scared for his well-being on Tuesday night because he was alone in his Greenwich, Conn., house. There�s been a flu bug going around the team, and Schoeneweis was dealing with that as he got home Tuesday night. Feeling ill, he went to a drug store at 2 a.m. and bought some medicine to calm his bloated stomach. Schoeneweis thought that medication might have been spoiled and complicated matters since it �tasted like moldy towels.� At one point, he said, his arms turned blue and his hands were numb. He called an ambulance at 7 a.m. �I thought I was going to die,� he said. Doctors thought at one point he had appendicitis, but ruled that out when they pressed the area and Schoeneweis wasn�t in intolerable pain. Turns out Joe Smith had the same symptoms, only far less severe, in L.A. during the most recent road trip. �Joe�s the carrier,� Schoeneweis good-naturedly said.

That's scary. Reports had said that his testicular cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes by the time he received treatment.

How does he know what moldy towels taste like?
