Up at one game a piece. Instead the mets are heading into this game and every other possible game ahead of this without ruben tejada. After a controversial play with lingering side effects. Immediately after saturdays game two in the nlds, there was anger in the mets clubhouse, after chase utleys controversial slide into ruben tejada breaking his leg and ending his season. My experience is that is not a slide, that is a tackle. We all know he plays hard. I play hard. I have done my fair share of takeout slides. And i have never done anything like that. In the aftermath, the anger is still there. But the mets are trying to move on. I lost a pretty good player. A pretty big piece of the puzzle. Im not very happy about it. Im not going to get into it. This is not the place. Reporter utley was suspended by Major League Baseball for two games but is appealing the punishment. The appeal wont be heard before tonights game three, so utley will be available to play. And the dodgers support him.
