Best Disabled List in Baseball
So now that Johan has joined the rest of the Mets on the Disabled List EVERY player us fans can buy a jersey for is on the DL. According to the prognosis, a good chunk of these players are slated to be back in September, but for what? So we can hope to remain above Washington in the NL East? Recently we have miraculously kept the opposition to 3 or fewer runs a couple of times but that is 3 more runs than we are capable of scoring. The fact that Mets are totally out of it with no indication future seasons will be any different is very depressing. I mean we still got like 30 games left in the season where other teams are gonna come in an embarrass us and pad their stats. Ugh. Sometimes being a fan is tough.
