Jeff put on the MLB Network as we ate lunch today. I saw the crawler announcing the breaking news that Justin Verlander was placed on the injured list with a teres major injury. I had not idea what a teres is, but it was major. That sounded serious.
We had a few weeks to get used to the Edwin Diaz injury. There was even a slight hope that Diaz could return to the Mets this year.
But no Verlander? I wonder anew: Are the Mets cursed?
Later stories used the language "low grade strain in the upper arm." That doesn't sound too bad. Whew!
Today the Mets continued their Opening Day winning ways by beating the Miami Marlins 5-3. Their all-time Opening Day record is 40-21 or .656.
161 to go.
