Actual good news
No, I'm not talking about that ball
Mike Piazza just hit over a wall (more on that later), but there seem to be some real positive developments on the injury front. To wit:
[Jose] Reyes played five innings in an extended spring game on Monday and collected three hits and a few steals. He was scheduled to play on Tuesday but it rained heavily in Port St. Lucie and the field conditions were not conducive to getting in work.
Reyes, who has been out since March 14 with a strained hamstring, is expected to play nine innings for St. Lucie in a Florida State League game on Wednesday...
It seems like a real possibilty that he could be with the team next week, which is great news for me, given that I should be heading up to Shea Stadium for the first time in many years for one of the games againts the
Giants. And
Cliff Floyd seems like an even surer bet to be back by this weekend. Getting those guys back will be huge.
