oh semantics! Wasn't this the one where he hurt himself in a rundown? He later had a little bit of a setback and that's when we got Ike.

No, he Ike took the job from Jacobs after a month of excelling in the minors while Jacobs was failing in the majors. Murphy later got spiked during a rehab game.

Not semantics.

Semantics in the difference between a new injury and a setback.

But Murphy did have a setback, coupled with Jacobs sucking and Ike anti-sucking. (blowing? no that's not right) When Murphy's return wasn't eminent is when they promoted Davis, and that's when they shifted Murphy's rehab to second base and when he got spiked. In fact, Murphy might have a beef with Jacobs as if he was holding down the fort maybe they don't promote Davis right away and let him get more seasoning.

All I could get was the Marlin radio feed.

I think those guys were more generous to the Mets than Wayne Hagin is.

Associated Press wrote: Mets C Thole leaves game NEW YORK -- Mets catcher Josh Thole has left their game against the Florida Marlins in the second inning after being hit in the left hand by a foul ball. Thole was hit when Emilio Bonifacio fouled a 2-0 pitch back. Thole stayed in his crouch until a Mets trainer and manager Terry Collins went out to check on him. He fell to his knees after trying to squeeze the trainer's hand Thursday night. Mike Nickeas replaced Thole.

Thole and Tejada both negative. Thole will see a hand specialist tomorrow to be sure.

Collins asked Adam Rubin to identify the bone he was talking about for him in the post-game while pointing to the bone on the wrist just below the hand. (Adam didn't actually know)

There will be no minor league starts this year for Johan Santana or starts for the Mets either. Randy Niemann says Santana will be ready for spring training.

Reyes' hammy is still bothering him but playing through..Zee link..

Two thirds of Mets outfield out with headaches and being watched for concussion syndromes. The third third is apparently back after a sinus infection. It'd be nice to get resolution on these before the season ends.
