Church Out, Delgado Hurt In Mets Win

The Mets defeated the Dodgers 1-0 in Grapefruit play yesterday, but suffered a setback in the process.

Right fielder Ryan Church collided with Marlon Anderson and suffered a Grade 2 concussion. He’ll be back on the team when the symptoms are gone, and the Mets are projecting three weeks.

Carlos Delgado, meanwhile, went back to New York to get an MRI on his right hip, which made him sit a slew of games late last season. With Shawn Green retiring, there’s no real back-up plan for the Mets at first base.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
