Mets' Swine Flu Scare

MYFOXNY.COM - A member of the Mets' traveling party has been hospitalized in Pittsburgh with a possible case of swine flu, according to a New York Post report.

The person is part of the SNY broadcast crew that travels with the club, the report said. The crew member is apparently in isolation at the hospital.

Meantime Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran is out for the third consecutive game because of a stomach virus. The team believes Beltran is suffering from a gastrointestinal virus and not swine flu.

Pitcher John Maine has also been dealing with a stomach illness.

The Mets say these illnesses are not connected to the TV crew member's sickness.

Mets exec John Ricco said the sick worker will be kept separated from the team and traveling party until doctors figure out what kind of flu he has.
