Rusty

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rusty apparently suffered a heart attack while flying to the US from Ireland, requiring the plane to return to Ireland. Doctors on board the aircraft were able to revive him but some guy is trying to raise $$ for a special medical flight home.

Mets issue statement that "prognosis is good," which is what they said about Zack Wheeler missing his start in March, but let's hope that since they're not doing the doctoring, that it's very true. Adds that he and his family wish Rusty's privacy be respected during this period, which one assume has something to do with the guy trying to raise funds.

He went through an episode last winter. All best to the redhead.

Speedy recovery, big guy

I missed this, what with it's below-the-fold-ness by the time I logged on.

Win one for Rusty, Mets. More importantly, win one for Rusty, everybody. He deserves it.

Missed the dispatch that L'Orange was on First Pitch duty last night. Great news.

I didn't know this either until this afternoon. Good news, indeed.

He threw from about 35 feet. But looked rusty as ever.
