The Mets Police

Yes. This cap can actually be frequently seen on me. It’s a deep blue in case you’re wondering.

Not sure where this one is going, but I have a bad feeling about this.

..cops seized hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of autographed player jerseys and other memorabilia from the ’86 team that Samuels had placed in a Port St. Lucie storage facility.

“It was mainly uniforms,” one source close to the probe told The News Saturday. “They’re all signed and worth a fortune.”

I went to bed last night in a so so mood after reading that Johan Santana might miss the whole season. Fine, I will admit it, it bummed me a out. I just woke up ten minutes ago and I started sifting through my twitter feed and found a Santana is fine post by Adam Rubin.

The progress “has been great,” Warthen said. “We’ve been actually sneaking him back a couple of extra feet each time without him really knowing it, but I think he does know it. The arm is working in great position — he’s getting it up. He’s missed a day here and there, but he’s gone back-to-back because he missed [on] his wife’s birthday. We gave him an extra day there. So everything is going right on target, maybe a little bit ahead.

That quote is from Dan Warthen.

But this right here fits more in line with the post I wrote from last night.

Privately, people close to Santana accept he might be a shell of himself in the second half, assuming he returns.

I am crossing my fingers that this isn’t true. I just hope even if he is rusty when he come back this year that he will be fine next year.

Update: I know i just posted this thirty seconds ago but Adam Rubin just did another piece where he actually talked to number 57.

I don’t know who’s saying that I’m not ready or whatever,” said Santana, who turned 32 Sunday, “because according to everything, the way it has been done, we’re right on the right track and where we’re supposed to be. Whoever is saying that I’m not ready I think is lying. We are all on the same page here. And I’ve been doing my job and doing my rehab and everything the way it’s supposed to be done. … How can you have a setback at this point, where I’m just beginning to throw? I haven’t even got on the mound. I haven’t even forced my body to try to throw hard. It’s just a slow process and I’m just doing it with caution.

Adam also asked Santana, How could he know if its just regular soreness?

I’ve had pain before. I know the difference between pain and soreness. As of right now, you go through a process where you have to build everything up and your arm, your shoulder is weak. You know you have to overcome that. But it takes tim

As Shannon and Han Solo would say,” I have a bad feeling about this.”

This is going to be even more of a trying season for the Mets if this is true.

One member of the Mets’ organization said that the team is ready to shut down the rehabilitation schedule for Santana if he does not feel comfortable after what is expected to be a simple session of playing catch.

I wonder if they will shut him down from using twitter too. Don’t want to put extra strain on his shoulder.

According to the source, Santana has not been progressing in his return to light throwing and the team is concerned enough to halt this section of his rehabilitation. By doing so, the Mets’ timetable of a possible late-June, early-July return to the team would likely be wiped out.

Uggggh!

Santana underwent surgery in September to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder. Mark Prior and Chien-Ming Wang each underwent a similar surgery and have yet to win another game in the major leagues.

This could be bad. But Santana is the epitome of MAN UP AND PLAY BETTER. He will put the team on his shoulders and give it his all. If anyone can come back from surgery and pitch like he used it will be number 57.

Internally, the Mets believe they’ll be “lucky” if Santana pitches this year.

I am going to grab a four leaf clover and maybe a rabbits foot and send it over to flushing right now. Maybe that will help.
