In a profile piece for the Daily News, writer Kristie Ackert updates us on Jeff Francoeur’s hand.
Francoeur took a fastball off the side of his left hand in the sixth inning. The hand was bruised and swollen, but X-rays taken during the game showed there was no broken bone. He remained in the game.
"I'll tape it up the next few days, it should be fine," Francoeur said.
But, as the article says, you’re a Met now. That’s not how it works. You should spend three days on the bench claiming you’re ready to play, then two more where you’re unavailable. Then there will be a day where no one will know if you’re able to play or not. Finally, you’ll go on the disabled list and never be heard from again.
That’s how it works with this team.
