Poor Pedro.
Get well soon! Even though I spent years cursing his name as a member of the Red Sox, even I feel terrible for him having this injury this early into the season. This isn’t how the spring is supposed to start for anyone, not even the Mets! And although usually I enjoy watching Mets fans squirm a little, I wouldn’t have wished this on them just yet.
It’s spring and it is supposed to be about endless opportunity and optimism and all that crap. ALL baseball fans are supposed to be happy, at least for the first few weeks. It sucks to lose an important player to an annoying injury at the very beginning of the season, and believe me, we Yankee fans felt the pain at the beginning of last year.
We are certainly no stranger to the early season hamstring injury… and it’s because of those damn early hamstring injuries that we almost dug ourselves a hole too deep to get out of in the 2007 season.
Hopefully all the running and drill sergeant workout style of Mr. Girardi’s Spring Training will keep the injuries to a minimum this year on the Yank’s side of town.
