talisaynon Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 More from twitter: Beltran is not at the park. The Mets think he has a gastrointestinal virus but cannot rule out swine flu. Maine also might have it. I'm going to go with Beltran. Gastrointestinal virus sounds grusome, but we haven't had any first hand reports from Maine or the others. Beltran's definately the best swine flu victim in NY baseball, so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Mets dealing with flu scare; TV producer tested for swine http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors/post/Mets-dealing-with-flu-scare-TV-producer-tested-?urn=mlb,167700 At least two member of the New York Mets — Carlos Beltran(notes) and John Maine(notes) — have been battling a stomach virus. However, the real concern around the Mets Tuesday was a strain of flu that has stricken an employee of the team's television network, the New York Daily News reported. While Met players insist the term "swine flu" wasn't mentioned during a briefing by trainer Ray Ramirez on the SNY employee, Met officials also said the disease that has brought fear all over the globe cannot be ruled out, according to the Daily News. "It has not been confirmed as swine flu that everyone is talking about, but it definitely is a case of flu," assistant GM John Ricco said. "We've been told it's not a type of illness that's transmitted through the air. It's something that's more droplets, shaking hands or sneezing. So we're not too worried. "The symptoms we've been told generally are marked by high fever, joint aches and fatigue, and it comes on you rather quickly. It's not something that comes on in a slow fashion. These symptoms are not consistent at all with what Carlos Beltran and John Maine have at the present time. But, again, our players are being informed that this has happened, and if they're presented with any of the symptoms I just described, to let a trainer now. Right now no one on our team is feeling any of that." According to sources, SNY associate producer Dan Barr was still awaiting test results from his hospital visit after he had felt ill for several days. Barr, who flew on the team's chartered flight from LaGuardia to Pittsburgh after Sunday's home-stand finale, drove back to New York after going to a local hospital with flu-like symptoms. Doctors instructed him not to fly commercially, according to the Daily News. Source: New York Daily News Yeah... the term swine flu wasnt used. They used the terms H1N1 and cerdo flu instead.
