I just reviewed the Wright/Lee play. If it's Wright's third inning tag-out of Carlos Lee in the top of the third on April 19th, then there was no collision, and Lee never landed on Wright. Wright dove at a sliding Lee from behind and tagged him before Lee tagged third. But on the dive, you could clearly see Wright's head snap and, without hitting the dirt, bounce up and down rather violently two or three times.

I'm waiting to see the Zapruder film.

"The greatest trick the Kranepool ever pulled was convincing the Metworld he was retired."

Wright's head snapped back. And to the right. Back. And to the right. I'll try and post some stills. Although one would assume that the play in question should get aired tonight.

Good work G!

Why is everyone so sure that this was the play that led to the injury?

It's the internet and you don't need to be sure about anything. Any old third basemen on the books still?

[G-Fafif]

Came up during one of the Snighcasts.

Here are some stills of the Lee/Wright play, now rendered obsolete by the MLB video posted above. The video captures Wright's bobble head better than the pics below. But still.... (Get it? Still? But still ....)

Unfortunately, right now the roster has more players with experience at third than at first. And Wright might still be back before Davis.

[metirish]

Looking at those pictures and really can't see how Wright broke his back.

[ashie62]

Fuck the team Doctors again. That was a nasty collision when it happened and no one could find this.

The 2011 Mets are a mediocre team and cannot withstand these broadside hits.

Back stress fractures and the torque of a swing sound like season long misery.

A two-part process, perhaps?

1) Compression of trauma weakens bone
2) Constant repetitive torque without rest opens fracture

[metirish]

Yeah I had my SC turned to 11 on that post.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

My sarcasm receptor's all wonky. I blame the weather.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I blame the Dodgers' doctors.

[TransMonk]

With last night's win...the Mets are 14-13 since Wright went down.

Not too shabby.

[ashie62]

Speaking of David, has anyone heard anything about how his recovery is coming along?

[TransMonk]

He'll be re-examined on June 24. If he is all healed, it will still most likely be at least 3 weeks of rehab before he is back with the big club.

If he's back by the end of the All-Star break, it will mean everything from now until then will have gone ideally. I expect August 1st is more likely to be closer to his return.

Same for Ike. We may very well have a race between David, Ike and Johan to see who can get back to the big club first.

Ike's the one who pisses me off. WTF are you doing

1) Getting hurt waiting for a popup to come out of the sky
2) Taking 2+ months to return from said injury
3) Accomplishing both 1 and 2 as a 24-year-old.

I want to see some bloody socks from this mutha if and when he makes it back.

I suspect once Ike takes the boot off he'll be okay and healed and hurry back. back's are iffier things, though I am hopeful he'll get the all clear on the 24th. I'm not sure it'll take 3 weeks from that point though.

Tough sky.

Wright is likely to begin rehab Friday with St.Lucie tweets Rubin.
