Phillies radio announcer Larry Andersen didn’t like the fact that there were a lot of Mets fans in Citizens Bank Park last night. Here’s what he said after they cheered David Wright’s homer and a double by Michael Cuddyer:

“I’ll take the Nationals fans over the Mets fans,” Andersen said on air.

“Why’s that?” Phils radio play-by-play man Scott Franzke asked.

“They’re just obnoxious,” Andersen said.

I assume he didn’t include Phillies fans in that given how strongly they’d skew the obnoxiousness analysis.

Mets lose Robinson Canó, Jeff McNeil to injured list

As Bill wrote last night, Robinson Canó — bashed for his lack of hustle just a few days ago — busted it out of the box last night and strained his hamstring. That has now landed him on the injured list. Adeiny Hechavarria took over at second base after Cano’s last night and is starting there in today’s game versus the Nationals. No timetable has been given for Canó, but one usually misses at least a couple of weeks with hamstring pulls, sometimes longer.

Also going on the shelf for the Mets is Jeff McNeil, who hurt his hamstring on Tuesday. J.D. Davis will cover for him until he comes back. Michael Conforto is the next regular outfielder who should return to the fold. He has still not been given an offical comeback date after hitting the injured list with a concussion, but it was reported yesterday that he has been symptom free for a few days, which is a good sign.
