..."2 steps forward, 2 steps back" - The lyrics of an old Paula Abdul song and also of the Mets 2008 spring traning. The following comes from Newsday:
First baseman Carlos Delgado and backup catcher Ramon Castro both suffered injuries and had to leave Martinez's start against the Tigers at Tradition Field. Delgado's was bloody and scary; Castro's might be more long-lasting. He reinjured his right hamstring and is scheduled to get an MRI Monday. The Mets already are without No. 1 catcher Brian Schneider.
Delgado was hit in the right forearm by a shard from teammate Brady Clark's bat while leading off third base in the third inning. Delgado said he was following the ball -- a flyout to center -- and didn't see the bat fragment until it was too late.
Castro, catching Martinez in his first game since March 9, reinjured his right hamstring while running to first on a single in his first at-bat. As soon as he reached the bag and time out was called, Castro limped off to the third-base dugout and was replaced by a pinch runner."I didn't pull nothing," he said. "I don't think it's nothing big. I feel something, so I stop running. I stopped running and it went away."
