The beginning of April is generally the most optimistic time of the year. Anything is possible because everyone is on the same page and everyone is starting at the same point. While the injury to Murphy is a bummer, I really think the media now is over playing this. Look at the covers above. They are so overwhelmingly negative.
Case and Point: 3-4 weeks ago, Reyes wasn't even supposed to start the season! In fact he could have missed the majority of May. Its good news that we know he will back soon. Yes its sad that he won't be ready for Opening Day, but it does not warrant the cover the Post is presenting today. Murphy was struggling all Spring (and I feel like I can criticize here because if you know me, you know that I am one of the biggest Murphy fans that exist). Of course I am “sad” that he can't start the season but he isn't a key to this offense!
If the media wants something to make negative, how about this:
All in all. This is a positive time of the year, not a negative one. Its hard because we live in a domain dominated by the media and the 4th branch (which I guess technically I am a part of). We all need to make are own opinions about the recent injury moves, and see the larger picture here.
