Last man standing

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think every hitter the Mets started with has hit the DL save these four.

[metirish]

Wright , but of course this thread will jinx him .

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's like "Harper's Island" in pinstripes/blacks/snow-whites!

It has to be Reed... but only after he takes over, say, second base and slugs .700 for September.

(In all seriousness, any sort of realistic gauge I've got for these injuries is out the window at this point.)

LOL....I actually watched every episode

henry would play Wright in the made for TV movie...

[Guest Edgy DC]

The answer is Reed, of course.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I voted Reed too, mainly because he'll have less opportunity to get hurt.

Wright is out there every day.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Since it's increasingly difficult to enjoy this team on any sort of conventional level, a thin slice of my animal brain is probably going to be watching the rest of the season with a sick sort of focus, like America does NASCAR-- waiting for the inevitable flaming wreck.

[smg58]

Reed is the least useful of the four, so of course he'll be the last one standing.

[TransMonk]

The results of this poll seem to suggest that we are fairly confident Tatis and Murphy will not survive the season without sustaining injury.

="TransMonk"]The results of this poll seem to suggest that we are fairly confident Tatis and Murphy will not survive the season without sustaining injury.

Nah, it suggests that all of us are either delusional (those who believe Wright will remain healthy) or cynical (those who believe that of course everyone is going to get hurt except the crappiest player on the list).

[Guest Kong76]

I'm going with delusional ... I'd like to see Wright get wicked hot and win the
batting title in spite of the cards the team's been dealt.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm pretty confident he will. He's only 12 points off the lead as it is.

[Guest Kong76]

Wicked hot, like tssst.

Many of us are going to watch anyways, might as well have some fun too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He'd be the first, no? (Damn you, Willie McGee.)

[Guest Kong76]

Didn't even think of that ... added historical pleasure.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I voted for Reed, since Manuel rarely let's him play. Tough to get hurt in the dugout. Of course, Castillo disproved that theory.

[DocTee]

Mets-Phillies:

Shift on for Ryan Howard. Victorino on second. Howard hits a high pop to shallow right field that causes 1B Murphy, RF Reed and SS Tatis to collide. 2B Castillo retrieves dropped ball, fires it to the plate-- his throw hits and injures a concered 3B Wright, who has hastened to the scene of the collision.

All four go on the DL simultaneously in a fitting conclusion to 2009.

All the Wright voters are losers. Reed the only other one who has any votes.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 17 2009 09:54 AM

Ha! I knew enough not to vote in this evil poll.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2009 09:57 AM

One thing I think we overlook from last year's collapse and such is that surgery ended Tatis season a few weeks early, and may (or may not) have contributed to his lackluster fallback this season.

Edgy DC Aug 25 2009 08:21 AM

I think a trophy has to go to Pelfrey, for being the last man standing in the starting rotation. The bullpen --- knock wood verneer --- has been relatively healthy. MIKE PELFREY NEW YORK METS 2009 DIDN'T GET HURT ...YET

seawolf17 Aug 25 2009 08:36 AM

I hope that trophy isn't too heavy.

MFS62 Aug 25 2009 08:48 AM

In the case of Tatis, the old saying might be true - if you can't run fast you can't pull a muscle. Later
