The New York Mets lost their second game of the season to the Florida Marlins last night 5-4 in extra innings. Reliever Mat Wise yielded a two-out, walk-off home run to rookie Robert Andino in the bottom of the 10th.
While the loss is disappointing, it’s what happened in the fourth inning that hurts even more. After giving up two runs in each of the first two innings to trail 4-0, it looked like starting pitcher Pedro Martinez had settled down . There was a 1-2-3 third inning and a quick out in the fourth when Martinez pulled up with what’s being called a left hamstring strain. He’s on his way to NY for an MRI and will do some time on the Injured Reserve list. How much time, will depend on the results of that MRI.

I always wonder why they hae to go *back* to NY for the MRI, like there aren't 10,000,000 diagnostic imagery places in Florida.
It sucks about Pedro. We always get the good players for the big bucks...right at the end of their careers (i.e. Mo Vaughan - ugh.).
Look at it this way. Pedro was going on the DL for a while anyway. He might as well do it in NY where the team is headed next and where the team doctors are located.
Love Wagner's comments about Pedro being in too good a shape and needing to eat more donuts 'cause "you can't pull fat."
