What was the worst that could happen from immediately pulling him out(other than slipping down the dugout stairs)? Need to rename "Citi Field" "Bush Field."

In fact they should just lose more games so we get a better draft pick. Who cares whos on the mound? These games are meaningless...If someone gets injured, even if they say "I feel fine"...havent you learned from history? You take him out, period, prevent any further damage. I would put some responsibility on the players too. I read reports of the mets playing cards in the clubhouse pregame and watching TV...STRETCH, STRETCH, STRETCH...especially if you an injury prone veteran...Drink lots of water...Just basic things.

What if he was the one that did not want to walk off the field? Everyone throws warm up pitches when something goes a little off. It is up to the player to tell the medical staff how serious. I know many will say the coaches and medical staff know better but they have had so many injuries losing more people becomes a bigger burden and so if I was in their shoes I would take Niese's word for it. And if he said he could continue then that falls on him just as much as the coaches and medical staff.

The Mets are a totally bush organization. We're doing our best to prove that the Phils are a top notch class outfit and we're clowns by comparison. Happ just pitched a great game, Cliff Lee is close to pitching no hitters and Pedro just struck out 10 in rehab. When Pedro returns next week, they have more pitchers than they can use. We're scratching to get someone on the mound. Good move Omar tossing $36 Mil at Ollie to set him up for life. Absolutely correct. The Mets are a totally bush organization.

BRAVO, Jerry. Is it any wonder this team has 9 guys on the DL? Time to clean house. Fire everyone.

Because they are the mets. If someone is in pain, take him out and look at it. If someone has had a concussion, keep him off a plane.

Have they decided surgery is required? He was diagnosed with a partially torn hamstring tendon. Niese has a completely torn one. Do tendons repair themselves with rest? I think the answer is NO! When will Jose' be declared as needing surgery? What’s the prognosis on Reyes? Have they decided surgery is required? He was diagnosed with a partially torn hamstring tendon.

It's odd that Niese was able to walk under his own power from first base to the mound after his awkward stretch. I think it was the warmup pitch that did him in, not the stretch at first. Wouldn't that be something if the discomfort he was feeling after attempting to make the play at first had nothing to do with the injury he suffered on the warmup pitch?
