A big middle finger to the geniuses at MLB for not allowing me, Edgy, Vlad, to NOT see today's game. FOX in DC gets Phi-Atl and the overly restrictive blackout rules prevent the games not shown in your market from being shown on mlb.tv and EI.

[G-Fafif]

Date needs changing on the thread, por favor, though a replay of a 3-0 win from 8/14 would be all right, too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Done.

What did Angel do this time to get thrown back onto the bench? He's the team's best hitter in August (besides Santana and Figgy, anyhow).

[G-Fafif]

Cory Sullivan has tepid lifetime numbers against Cain and the Giants, so he's due.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Injury delay???

David Wright, HBP then leaves for a pinch runner???

Geez...

Did he trot down to first base? Or did he immediately come out of the game? If he has a concussion, the Mets should put him on the next flight to Denver.

duan Aug 15 2009 03:22 PM

he got BADLY shaken up by it. smelling salts were out, he tried to say I'm ok but nobody was having any of it. I'd say he's gone till tuesday anyway and I wouldn't be surprised if it was longer. It really was a big ding off the helmet.

Valadius Aug 15 2009 03:24 PM

He took it on the helmet, which flew off, and then fell on his face.

Edgy DC Aug 15 2009 03:41 PM

Crap. Crapacadabra. Crapster.com.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 15 2009 03:42 PM

It's absolutely unreal. How much time did Mike Piazza miss with his 2000 concussion? I'm thinking about a week? Hopefully this isn't even a concussion at all, but if it is, I really hope the Mets have learned something (hah!) from last year's Ryan Church fiasco.

]Wright hit in head, leaves game Mets slugger struck in left side of helmet in fourth inning By Brittany Ghiroli / Special to MLB.com 08/15/09 5:28 PM ET NEW YORK -- David Wright left Saturday afternoon's game in the bottom of the fourth inning after being hit in the helmet with a pitch by Giants starter Matt Cain. Wright was in an 0-2 count when Cain's four-seamer struck the left side of his helmet by his ear, and the infielder immediately fell down on his stomach, where he lay motionless until team trainers rushed out. After several minutes, Wright was flipped over and was able to walk off the field under his own power, albeit with some help from the trainers. Fernando Tatis was inserted as a pinch-runner and remained in the game to assume Wright's responsibilities at third base. Wright, who entered the game batting .325 with eight homers and 55 RBIs, flied out to center field in his first at-bat in the first inning. For a Mets team already missing starters Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes, any serious injury to Wright would be catastrophic. Brittany Ghiroli is a contributor to MLB.com.

i thought this game was at 7pm?? wright is hurt? any more news?

Nymr83 Aug 15 2009 04:10 PM

why warn both benches there? by throwing behind a guy you send the message "don't hit my guys" without any danger of hurting anyone, whats the big deal?

metirish Aug 15 2009 04:28 PM

Just walked in the door and saw FOX showing the beaning , then they show Sanatana retaliating by hitting two guys?
