An associate producer for SportsNet New York, a member of the Mets traveling party, was isolated after coming down with an unidentified strain of flu. He started feeling symptoms on Sunday when the team arrived in Pittsburgh, and he returned to New York by car. Mets trainer Ray Ramirez discussed the situation with players on Tuesday, advising them to report any joint aches, high fever or extreme fatigue, symptoms that are associated with the swine flu. "I'm not really that concerned about it, but there really isn't that much we can do to avoid it," catcher Brian Schneider said. "We'll use hand sanitizers and take as many precautions as possible, but for the most part, we don't really have a choice. We share a plane, so we're basically in a box together. We share towels. There's not much you can do except be smart."
