Gotay and Church hobble into camp

The Mets are dropping like flies, and two of the injured made it back into camp today, one on crutches and the other sporting a shiner.

Ruben Gotay is on crutches, trying to stay off his sprained right ankle. Gotay wants to be back by the weekend, but that seems a tad bit optimistic. Gotay is set for X-rays, but he believes nothing is broken.

Ryan Church is also in camp, wearing sunglasses to hide a black eye. Church suffered a Grade 2 concussion after his collision with Marlon Anderson on Saturday. Church has no memory of the event, as David Lennon quotes him as saying, "I had the ball - that's what I heard." His concussion has caused some nausea, but luckily, no vomiting. He is out for an unknown amount of time, unable to play until his symptoms subside.

Jeremy Cothran claims the team is so beat up, "If you have a glove, I'd book a flight down here and ask for an open tryout. You never know."
