Not sure what this picture has to do with anything, but since the Mets are in DC, I threw it in ...
A few minutes ago, Mets PR guru Jay Horwitz came through the press box to announce that Steve Trachsel was headed back to San Diego for "personal reasons" and will not start tomrrow's season finale against the Nationals. The Mets also did not say when Trachsel would return, and it is unclear how this affects his status as the anticipated Game 3 starter.
Also, Carlos Delgado was scratched from tonight's lineup because of "general soreness." It's not unusual to see Delgado sporting a huge ice pack on his left elbow walking around the clubhouse, and he's had tendinitis issues in the past. Cliff Floyd was not in the lineup either, but hopes to play tomorrow.
