Zambrano out for season

After leaving the mound yesterday in the second inning Victor Zambrano's injury has been speculated about all over Mets nation. An MRI revealed that Victor Zambrano has a torn flexor tendon. The injury will require surgery and he will miss the remainder of the 2006 season. Zambrano was just coming around too, he can't catch a break. Rumor has it that various Mets knew about Zambrano's discomfort but that Zambrano wanted to pitch through it, as shown in the second inning when Zambrano didn't even through tosses to see if the elbow hurt. This injury upsets me mainly because I do not want to see Jose Lima for the rest of the year. However, it may also mean that the Mets will have both Brian Bannister and John Maine in the rotation when they return from their injuries. Hopefully it's the latter. Either way get well soon Zambrano!
