Jose Reyes is going to start the 2010 season on the disabled list. So are the other 39 people on the 40-man roster of the New York Mets, because that is the only joke to make about them. The Mets are destined for another season of A-leaguers losing to the Marlins while the Yankees win the World Series, and it is all because of... well, nobody really knows what the cause is. Maybe it's the trainers. Maybe it's the players themselves. Maybe God regrets letting these guys beat the Orioles and the Pre-Crisis Red Sox in the World Series and is finally evening out the penance. Today's Dugout travels to scenic Puerto Rico, where the Mets and Marlins will be playing a series this season. Maybe by then we'll have figured out what is wrong with Jose Reyes officially. My guess: a broken heart.
The 2010 Dugout Spring Training event continues, after what used to be the jump.
