Drop Everything Houston A Met Is Hurt
Yesterday, Wilmer Flores actually fouled a ball off his face:

That is the most Mets injury this season.
Adding to the absurdity of the injury, Flores had to be taken to a Houston area hospital.
Could you just imagine that hospital? “Everyone! Dropwhat you’re doing. We will get to all those affected by the hurricane and subsequent flooding later. A New York Mets player fouled a ball off his face. We need to address this STAT before Ray Ramirez can get to him.”
Throw in the fact this was the second time this season a Mets player hurt himself while swinging. With Flores and Michael Conforto, it really makes you question what activities a Mets player can undertake without hurting themself.
After all was said and done, Flores broke his nose. If Flores is lucky, former Met Carlos Beltran will pay for the surgery to fix his body much like he did for Jon Niese.
