Kazmir Hurt
As bad as the Mets pitching has been thus far, we Mets fans know that the future looks brighter. The Mets have a plethora of young arms in the system that promise to lead the 2005-and-beyond Mets to postseason glory. A top-three of Scott Kazmir, Matt Peterson, and Tyler Yates beckon us, waving from their cushy seats along the ticker-tape parade. Oh, by the way,
Kazmir is hurt:
Scott Kazmir, the Mets' top-rated pitching prospect, was forced to leave Thursday's season opener between the Class A St. Lucie Mets and Vero Beach after suffering from pain in his midsection.
[...]
"I was running yesterday [Wednesday] and I felt like, when I stopped, that my midsection, my abs and both my groins were on fire," Kazmir said. "I thought it was all right but then it felt tight again tonight."
On fire? That sounds good. I am sure more details will follow, but it could be a pulled groin or an abdominal strain, if we're lucky.
