Mets up 3 - 0 on a bases loaded double by Delgado.

It;s confirmed....El Duque in game 1 anf Glavine in game 2,Pedro back in NY with team Doctors.

I voted this one. Let him work on his problems and target him for Game 3. That might be more of a vote from my heart rather than my head,I hope the Mets make a desicion soon on him as I would not like this to linger through next week with the potential for becoming a distraction.

Very cool news.

So do the Suns players go to Savannah,is that how that works?

] BY ADAM RUBIN DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER ATLANTA - Steve Trachsel will be included on the division series roster - a decision reached even before Pedro Martinez's ill-fated start last night. The 15-game winner hasn't been guaranteed a start in the NLDS. But if Martinez is unavailable for the opening round - which now seems a fair assumption - Trachsel would appear the likely Game 3 starter, behind Orlando Hernandez and Tom Glavine. Minus Martinez, John Maine likely would emerge as the fourth starter - though whether the Mets open the playoffs on Tuesday or Wednesday, and whether the Mets are leading or trailing in the series, will factor into whether he's used. Regardless, Maine has a strong chance to make the roster in relief.

Pedro on the post-game interview does not sound inspiring...he all but said that it's an easy decision for Willie to make about who should start game one....Pedro said that he is not healthy...not even close...

Can baseball get any better than that...seems like all the important games are close.

WOW, I love that pic, can't wait for it to hit my mail box....screw the jink.

I like it Yancy...beats throwing side sessions,I love Pedro but he needs to prove that he can help the team.

Humber is the only bright spot tonight....

I never take solace form the Mother fucking yankees......is it too late to make some trades?

Ron won't say it but he's saying this shit should not be happening,Keith said it for him,someone needs to get hit.

Getting beat is bad enough but we are getting embarrassed here...

Mets making errors tonight..everything is wrong right now.

I prefer Keith's take that his gut feeling is that Pedro is hurting and can't push off with his leg,Ron agreed with him which makes me wonder why he said he was healthy.

Where does Pedro get this work?,side sessions and the like,I am not convinced.

Hudson with a triple.....7 - 0....this is it for Pedro tonight....Mets fans the world over wonder when we will next see him.

We gotta start El Duque in game one.

Holy shit...back to back home runs....we're fucked.

We're fucked...Pedro is getting hit very hard.....

Castro with a double,great to have him back.

I don't know if a start by a pitcher has ever been disected as much as Pedro's start tonight,he has better life on his fastball tonight, come on Pedro.

] My dad had a friend --- I'll call him Casey --- in the NYPD. He was a union rep, and, though he hated bad cops personally --- would do anything he could to stay out of a car with them in it, give them the cold shoulder when their paths crossed on the street --- he'd get the union to defend them when the department came down on them. Anyhow, the lamest lame thing cops did was the three-quarter payout. If you got an injury in the line of duty that prevented you from continuing your career, you get to retire early with three-quarters pay. Lucky you. Of course, the policy was designed to reward the bravery and protect the families of good cops who took a deblitating bullet. But the definition of deblitating injury slid so much, that, by the end of my dad's career, people who got hurt at home were coming in to work, faking injuries, and getting their buyout. Worse still, guys who were just sick of being cops, or hated the neighborhood they were regularly patrolling, would just fake a back injury --- since back injuries are almost impossible to disprove --- and cash their chips in. Anyhow, this naturally made both of them sick. When Casey had long retired, both of his sons had proudly succeeded him the department. One Sunday night he gets a call from Number-One Son. Number One has torn his knee up badly playing flag football. Casey looks to Heaven, looks to Hell, closes his eyes, and tells Number-One to pour himself into his uniform the next morning, walk as straight as he could to his car, and take a dive on the first call he got. And that's what he did. Anyhow, I never really acknowledged it to myself, but I guess I think that's what Erickson did. I don't know why. _________________ I work in a Pulmonary Lab and since 9/11 I have seen a lot of guys from the FDNY wanting to have bad pulmonary tests...and you know what,I don't blame them...NYC screwed them.....maybe this should be in a different thread.

I'm good, pumped like you but I have no worries mate....yeah right.....
