Poor Pedro
Pedro Martinez was the starter on the New York Mets' second game of the season against the Florida Marlins. All Pedro wanted to do was show New York fans that his shoulder wouldn't be a problem and that he could still pitch well. His shoulder was fine, but he gave up four runs off of two homeruns. But the bigger problem here was that he pulled his hamstring in the fourth inning, taking him out of the game and onto the disabled list. Trainers estimate that Martinez will be on the DL for about three weeks, which is just short of devastating to the Mets' starting pitching staff. Now the Mets are faced with a dilemma of either bringing someone up from their farm system, or bringing Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez back to the rotation from the bullpen. So hurry back Pedro, we need you, and more importantly, a collective decrease in injuries.
