3. This might make you laugh, but Carroll is actually one of Minaya's under-the-radar favorite players.

Associated Press

BOSTON -- New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez was back with the club on Sunday and feeling better after being hospitalized for back spasms following Saturday night's game.

Mets manager Jerry Manuel was unsure when Rodriguez would be available, but expects shortstop Jose Reyes to play Monday at home against the Nationals. Reyes has been sidelined with tendinitis in his right calf.

Manuel said after Saturday night's game that Rodriguez couldn't walk following batting practice. The right-hander said "his legs locked up," prompting medical personnel to take him to an ambulance on a stretcher.

"That was scary," Rodriguez said on Sunday, talking to the media with his back wrapped while the Mets took batting practice before their game against the Red Sox. "I've never felt anything like that.

"They gave me some medicine and it feels better."

16 WALKS does not make the hours fly.

omir picked up david wright tonight

I'm not right all the time, you know, it just seems like it

The New York Mets have traded backup catcher Ramon Castro(notes) and cash to the Chicago White Sox for right-hander Lance Broadway(notes).

Castro hit .253 with three homers and 13 RBIs in 26 games this season with New York. Castro was made expendable by the play of rookie Omir Santos(notes), who drove in both runs in the Mets’ 2-1 victory over the Florida Marlins in 11 innings on Friday night.

Broadway is 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA in eight games with the White Sox this season. Mets general manager Omar Minaya says he will be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo and work as a starter.

!!

or maybe not:

Mets facing swine flu scare
An SNY employee who travels with the Mets has been stricken by an unidentified strain of the flu, prompting concerns about swine flu in a clubhouse that has had two players come down with a stomach virus in the past several days. The Mets would not identify the person, but a source close to the situation said it is a member of the network's technical staff. The employee has been isolated from the team since coming down with the flu Monday, and -- as with everyone who has the flu these days -- is being tested for swine flu. However, it could take up to a week before test results reveal whether it is swine flu. In the meantime, the Mets are taking every precaution possible.
(Newark Star-Ledger)

But I read that Beltran and Maine have been tested and don't have swiney.

Beltran and Maine are dead, morbs
