So the Mets are off to a rather inauspicious start this spring. Johan Santana gave up a few runs in his first outing of the year, and the team has only one win to show for itself against Major League Competition so far (they beat the University of Michigan, but that won’t show up in Grapefruit League standings). Furthermore, Carlos Delgado — who is supposed to have a productive 2008 after last year’s injury-plagued, generally-disappointing season — was sent from Port St. Lucie to New York for an MRI on his ailing hip. The test results turned out to be negative, but then Marlon Anderson and Ryan Church collided yesterday, leaving Church with a concussion. Sounds more like a bad Bad News Bears script than a Mets Spring Training update.
Unsurprisingly, ESPN’s Buster Olney picked Santana to win this year’s National League Cy Young Award yesterday in a videotaped message on the network’s website. Today on his “Insider’s” blog, he wrote about Delgado, stating that the Mets should be looking outside the organization for help at first base if the injury is more serious than the team is letting on. He offers Nick Johnson, Scott Hatteberg, Richie Sexson, Tony Clark and Kevin Millar as options. Frighteningly bad. Let’s hope the injury isn’t that bad.

Don’t you want to buy a “vintage” Explosions In The Sky shirt of mine on eBay? If so, check out my latest eBay auction. Not only is the shirt from a concert way back in 2003 or 2004, your money will support a good cause! And that cause is me! I don’t recall ever wearing it or washing it, which is odd because why the hell did I pack it in my suitcase to bring to LA if I was going to continue not wearing it? Oh well, whatever. If someone from this blog wins the auction, I’ll throw in a special secret surprise with the t-shirt. Just for you!
