What a shock!
I've been saying all along that Pedro Martinez could not be relied on, and what does he do in his first start? "He said he kinda felt a pop."
All of those confident Mets fans swore that he was healthy and would dominate this season based off of a few starts last September. I remember saying that I'd be shocked if he made 20 starts or topped 150 innings. I don't know how long Pedro will be out, but when a player says that he felt a "pop", it's usually not a short term injury.
So now the Mets have Johan Santana and then a lot of uncertainty. Granted the Phillies have Cole Hamels and a lot of uncertainty (but hopefully a strong season from Brett Myers).
You never hope for a player on the opposing team to get injured (You just hope they stink!), but this one seemed pretty obvious. Almost as obvious as Flash Gordon's implosion on Opening Day...more on that later today!
