Atlanta Police report that a 25 year old man has critical head injuries after falling 150 feet at Turner Field during the eighth inning of last nights Atlanta Braves-New York Mets game. Police believe that he may have been sliding down the railing of the stairs.
A man already died at Shea Stadium this season after falling when he was reported to have been sliding down the handrails of the stairs. I think it’s time to stop sliding down the railings at stadiums.
Read the report from Fox Sports.
On Deck: May 22 Mets-Braves
New York Mets (22-22) at Atlanta Braves (25-21) 7:10pm
Johan Santana (5-2) vs. Tim Hudson (6-3)
TV: SNY Radio: WFAN
What to watch: The Mets are trying to avoid getting swept tonight in this four game series in Atlanta. Santana once again has to stop the bleeding for the Mets. It’s been his job all season long. Make sure that you tune into Willie Randolph’s least favorite TV station (SNY) to see if the Mets can finally get a win before heading to Colorado.
Braves Rock Mets Again 11-4
The Mets lost their third straight game in Atlanta. Mike Pelfrey was awful giving up six runs over four innings. I have to give him a pass because his previous two starts were very good.
Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Carlos Beltran had two hits each. But they were no match for Jeff Francoeur who went 3 for 4 with 4 RBI’s. After getting hit in the second inning he went crazy with a singe, triple, and home run.
The momentum gained in the Yankees series is officially gone. The first three games against the Atlanta Braves have been ugly.
Injury Updates: Martinez and Church
Pedro Martinez left Atlanta to be with his father in the Dominican Republic. His father is suffering from brain cancer.
Ryan Church suffered a mild concussion last night and won’t play tonight. He expects to be back in the lineup tomorrow or the next day.
Audio: Randolph Apologizes
New York Mets manager Willie Randolph appeared on WFAN’s Mike and the Mad Dog show this afternoon and apologized to everyone (except the fans) for claiming that SNY portrays him negatively and that criticism that he’s received has racial motivation.
He said that he thought the conversation with Ian O’Connor of the Bergen Record was off the record (throwing O’Connor under the bus). He said that he takes full responsibility for his comments. But just yesterday he was backtracking from his comments. How is that taking full responsibility?
