Mets Reliever Comes Up Lame, Mets Look To Void Claim
An article by 
According to David Waldstein of the NY Times, the Mets are trying to void their waiver claim on left-handed pitcher Jay Marshall, who has not reported to camp because of a pre-existing shoulder injury.
Jay Marshall, a left-handed reliever the Mets claimed off waivers from the Oakland Athletics last month, did not report to camp because of a sore shoulder. The Mets said it was a pre-existing injury and asked the commissioner’s office to void the claim
The Mets have good case as last season, while with the Athletics, Marchall had been sidelined due to tendinitis in his throwing shoulder. This offseason the A’s designated him for assignment, and the Mets claimed him on January 8th.
It is now in the hands of the commissioner’s office, who should rule in the Mets favor.
Waldstein also offers another possible reason for the injury and writes,
But with the Mets’ recent history of injuries, this situation sounds more plausible: Marshall was sitting at his home in Missouri on Jan. 8, minding his own business, and the instant the Mets filed the claim, he felt a piercing pain in his throwing shoulder.
Everybody is a comedian these days when it comes to the Mets…

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

ahahahahahaha..as soon as the mets claimed him he felt a pinch in his shoulder…hell no..that was hillarious.
Are we going to have a second lefty in the bullpen this season or are we going to keep throwing Feliciano out there until his arm falls off again in August?
or as soon as Marshall felt the pinch in his shoulder, the Mets claimed him.
That was funny. You just have to laugh at that.
It will take a winning season to stop the onslaught of Mets jokes. But they did bring it onto themselves.
That’s what you get when you only dig around through cheap cast offs. Jeff Wilpon’s BB card collection is probably all dinged corners.
