Shooting Down Our Stachey Shoots

Cut down before his prime
The injury train rolls on. The latest victim: Jonathon Niese. Hamstring. Here’s the Mets’ 2009 season in a nutshell:
Promising young pitcher, promising young stache, HAMSTRING INJURY OUT FOR SEASON SURGERY ARRRGH!
Sorry for the caps.
It makes you wonder, if the Mets could have gone back and done it all over again, if a mustache would have helped? Maybe extra padding, I don’t know. I’m starting to think, though, that Big Pelf falling off the mound in the Citi Field opener wasn’t a good sign.
Brian Costa says this one hurts more. What exactly does “more” mean? Hasn’t the whole season been painful enough?
At least last night’s 9-0 drubbing of the Cardinals and their fake staches was cathartic.
The Wright Stache will be down at Coney Island on Saturday to root on the next crop (and to see if there’s anybody down there we can add to the thresher that is the Mets dugout this year). Other than that, I welcome you all to become Tigers fans for the rest of the season. You’ll like the Tigers — Detroit could surely use the help, they’re orange and blue, they play solid defense and have great young pitchers. And they’re footing the bill for Shef…..BREAKING NEWS SHEFFIELD HAMSTRING INJURY OUT FOR WEEKS ARRRRRRGGGH!
Oh well. At least there’s one more reason (but you gotta jump).
Now THAT's what I call a moment of zen.
