On the negative side, it looks like both Jon Niese (back) and Scott Hairston (ribcage) will be on the Disabled List. On the positive side, Mike Nickeas is coming up, Miguel Batista’s got a chance to get called up (giving the Mets another writing pitcher to pair with RA Dickey), and Jose Reyes may be back as soon as Monday.
Also, the Mets have just one more game this afternoon against the Phillies.
