It's about time: Church goes on the DL

The Mets have finally made the right move and have placed ailing Ryan Church on the disabled list.

A resulting move has not been announced, but it should be interesting if they pass over Valentino Pascucci again. Mike Carp or Dan Murphy, anyone?

It's really just downright silly how the Mets have handled Church over the last three weeks. Instead of putting him on the DL immediately, or even within a few days, they forced him to travel all over the country, instead of letting his stay home and rest up.

His replacements helped in a few games, but have been pretty flat and unhelpful for a long stretch of time.
