Al Franken wrote a book entitled "Lies (and the lying liars who tell them)." That was about Republicans (or something).
He should have written it about the Mets front office.

So, let me get this straight, he has been two weeks from coming back for three months, now it turns out he has a torn hammy and is out for the year and will never be the same (Rubin's calming words notwithstanding).
Two things here, once again, a Met's injury is exacerbated by him pushing himself too hard to fast (in an extended spring training game).
Second, they have to have known for months that he wasn't coming back this season. Once they announce Beltran is done (expect this 9/2 or 9/3), the Mets will officially be a minor league team charging major league prices.
What's worse, is that, since NONE of these guys will be on the field before next year, we now have questions in our lineup at:
SS
CF
3B
LF
RF (if we non-tender Francouer-PLEASE DO THIS OMAR!)
1B (until we sign LaRoche)
1st (Johan), 2nd (Maine), 4th (Ollie), 5th (Niese) spots in the rotation
Set-up (Putz)
The only spots (other than closer) where we don't have questions, we have BAD answers (2B, Catcher, Pelfrey).
The dark ages have begun.
