As the final nail in the coffin of people-who-still-think-the-Mets-have-a-chance-if-their-players-all-come-back-healthy, Jose Reyes has returned to New York with leg discomfort.
The news was tweeted by Steve Popper, David Lennon and Kevin Burkhardt. Each of them believe this signals the end of any hope of Reyes returning in 2009. I must agree.
Reyes will be re-examined by Mets doctors in NYC.
With the season swirling the drain, there should be no reason for any of the Mets players to rush back. That is, except for Carlos Delgado, who needs to prove to teams he is still able to play.
So long, 2009. Hello, 2010.
