I can feel your pain from here Ryan. The silver lining is that he will only spend a few days on the DL.

As of today, the Mets are still in first place, whereas the Yankees have yet to win a game.

Or at least half of the quote.....and not the former half!

Reyes place don the DL because he's not in shape. Needs some more at bats and to get those legs in gear. I thought that was what the off-season was for?

Mac.....CBS Sportsline prediction:

NL East

1. Phillies: Moving from the AL East to the NL for Doc Halladay would be like you or me moving from a job at the assembly line to lying on the beaches of Margaritaville all day. Halladay and Cole Hamels should spend much of this summer turning out the lights on opponents. And Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard will be lighting those opponents back up. Placido Polanco might be the most underrated offensive acquisition of the year.

2. Braves: If Jason Heyward isn't the next Dave Parker, my name's not Danny Knobler. Or whatever. Meantime, please bring a rocking chair to the ballpark with you to present to retiring Braves manager Bobby Cox.

3. Marlins: Ricky Nolasco had such a good spring he became a trendy pick for NL Cy Young. Anybody for Hanley Ramirez for NL MVP this summer? And if Cameron plays more like Maybin than Diaz in center field, the Marlins will be there through September.

4. Mets: Dr. David Altchek, Mets medical director. Dr. Struan Coleman, team physician. Dr. Andrew Pearle, associate team physician. And Dr. Seth Miller, orthopedist. Because if you're gonna watch the Mets, you had better know the names of their doctors.

5. Nationals: What date you got in the "When will Stephen Strasburg be promoted to the majors" pool? I'm going with Saturday, May 29, in San Diego.

What does a Mets fans and a Cubs fans have in common...."there's always next year"

Mac, this should sum it up for you....Obama throwing out the first pitch for the Nats/Phillies game, Pedro Martinez for the Sox last nite...and throwing out the first pitch for the Mets...Mike "The Situation" from MTV's "Jersey Shore"...
