Everyone knows the Mets have had defensive issues this year, but it looks like there could be a worse problem than that sweeping through the clubhouse.

  • WOOOOHOOOOO!!! YEEESSSS.....YESSSS!!!! ....Oops, I mean that's terrible.
  • When your teams biggest news is, you MIGHT have the swine flu.......wow. P.S. we miss you Johan
  • Haha this makes me laugh. This has nothing to do with me being a met fan, but some of you really disgust me with this anti-latino bullcrap you guys like to type up. Why don't you learn another language and get out of the small bubble you're trapped in. No wonder the rest of the world hates us, we as Americans are to close minded to expand our horizons. Grow Up and Educate yourself.
  • Um, that is not anit-latino at all. I am a twins fan and really do miss Johan pitching for us. Not too sure how that translates into being anti-lation.
  • My bad for not being direct. I mean the comments that some have left not the article itself.
  • It looks like some comments have been erased/edited. So I guess my post is irrelevant to this topic now.
  • It's all good man, I just didn't want anybody to think me wanting Johan back in Minnesota meant I was anit-latino. It's all good now. And for the record any one narrow minded enough to make anti-lation comments about the swine-flu is an idiot.
  • This is too bad. I want the Mets to be at their best when they choke again this year.
  • OMG enought with the swine flu business. It's only serious if you have underlying medical conditions. So unless the Mets players are extremely sick, it's really not going to affect you. The regular flu is worse. Wow Bradco, you're quite classy. I bet you can't even pick up a bat. Leave my Mets alone. Lol.
  • What would you call an "underlying medical condition"? Don't be fooled Swine flu is serious business.
  • EazyEagleZ, its not serious at all. The swine flu got over hyped in the media and got everyone worried. Its really not that big of a deal.
  • Swine flu, huh? Yea, thats a good reason for another year of failures...LOL....Sorry HC...couldn't resist a shot...still love ya, though.....
  • CHOKE ARTIST!!! HAHAHAHA

    Phillies .... BACK TO BACK TO BACK NL EAST CHAMPS...mark my word!!!
  • That sucks. Who would have known out of all teams, the Mets would have swine flu. Looks like another NL East title for the Phils.
  • dont say that just yet
