Jose Reyes Heading To NY After Another Setback
An article by Hojo's Mojo
Jack Curry of the NY Times reports the following:
Jose Reyes, who was rehabilitating his injured right calf in Port St. Lucie, Florida, experienced some discomfort and returned to New York on Monday night. Reyes was examined by the Mets’ physicians on Tuesday, but the team has not offered any further details. This is a discouraging sign for the shortstop, who has been on the disabled list since May 26.
The Mets have been reticent to even offer a possible return date for Reyes, who was supposed to run the bases last Thursday but felt tightness in his hamstring.
In a recent interview, Reyes acknowledged that he was worried about how his legs would respond once he tried to run full speed. Until Reyes was comfortable with doing that, he said he would not play in any rehab games. Now it is questionable when Reyes will play at all.
Enough is enough, just shut Reyes down already. At this point what do we have to gain by activating him?
Last Thursday, Reyes was supposed to run the bases for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list, but minutes before he was to begin he backed off citing some soreness. He has been idle ever since.

i agree, you have to shut him down now. i dont want to, but you have to.
It would not be surprising if the announcement that comes out after the review is that he is in need of surgery. We may be stuck with alex Cora into 2010.
shut him down, try to trade for someone thru waivers and try to make a comeback. beltran will most likely be back and delgado so it wont be as bad as long as we can get a decent guy for the rest of the year. btw, cora has done a marvelous job filling in, but hes not an everyday guy. we’ve gotten great play out of him and im glad we got him. we need something else though or angel berroa can turn it on, but i doubt that
Well we knew he would not be coming back for this season for a long time now. This pretty much confirms it. What I want to know is what exactly is Mr. Reyes’ aliment.
Someone needs to get in Reyes’s ear and tell him to get a frick’in 2nd and 3rd opinion and stop relying on the Mets medical staff. I mean Holy Cow! This disgraceful handing of Met injured personnel just isn’t funny anymore.
It’s NOT normal to feel pain when you run! Cortisone shot, wait 2 weeks, try it again, What still pain? Ok.. wait 2 more weeks, ice, hot,,, ice .hot.. rest…… try it again in 2 more weeks.. What still pain….Ok fly back to New York to see the Met Doctor. Gee. Jose, how about we try another cortisone shot to get down the swelling in the muscle what you ask? Cortison shots just treat the inflamation but not the source of the injury. Jose Jose. you steal bases I treat injuries. here.lie back take a deep breath. big neddle….. there all down. Go rest another 2 weeks and continue your hot col alternating treatments. then Hmmmm. I don’t know run the bases from home to first as fast as you can and see if it stiill hurts. Two weeks later…. What’s that Jose? Your afraid to run full speed because it still hurts when you walk? OK OK. Fly back to New York and I’ll take another look…
ABSURD! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!
