Pedro deals with fear of making comeback (http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkyNjgmZmdi ZWw3Zjd2cWVlRUV5eTcxNzcyMTkmeXJpcnk3ZjcxN2Y3dnFlZU VFeXk2)

The questions burned deeply for Pedro. Would his arm respond to its first competitive test in almost a year? Would all the physical therapy restore Martinez's greatest gift, the ability to make the ball move late and unpredictably?

The answer was yes -- and no. He threw five innings against the St. Lucie Mets, most of whom were just teenagers fresh off June's amateur draft, and the results were both positive (Pedro totaled 67 pain-free pitches, 50 for strikes) and not-so-glowing (he averaged only 86 mph on the radar gun and struggled in the first two innings).

When it was over, Pedro and general manager Omar Minaya agreed it was a good day and an important step in what seems like an interminable rehab. Martinez will pitch again early next week, but no one seems willing to put him on an exact timetable for Shea.

This much is certain, though: While Pedro's arm appears fully healed, he's not exactly ready to conquer Mark Teixeira and Co.

"I'm still missing badly with my location," is what Martinez said after the workout. "There's work I have to continue to do."

Sounds like he's still a month away.

when does he have to be on the roster to be eligible for the post season ???

like before sept 1st right ??

im not sure about that, but i remember a rookie making his major league debut in the playoffs lst year or the year before. so i dont think so. as long as you are named to the playoff roster.

[cougarjake13]

well thats what i am saying theres a cutoff date where you have to be on the team or you cant play in the playoffs

and i think its after the waiver trade deadline which is aug 31st

[BoondockSaint]

He's on the disabled list so he is eligible no matter when he comes back.

There's a petition going on to save the Home Run Apple when the Mets move to to citiField. as old and cheesy as it is, i love that damn apple. let's try to bring a piece of Shea to the new park:

p.s. as for the new stadium, it should've been named Bob Murphy Memorial Park. damn corporate naming rights!

Thats fine, just come up with 125 million and you'll beat Citibank's offer for the naming rights.

BTW-If anyone wants the rights to name the front door on my condo, I'll settle for 1 mil annually.

Fuck that noise! I want the original apple!

[cougarjake13]

glavine will again try for 300 tonight

maybe since arod and bonds got theirs itll give glavs some hope

[hammersavage]

I pretty psyched for this game. National TV, in Wrigley against a hot team with the series on the line, Glavine's 300th.

I'd like to see Tommy get it at home but this is as good a place as any to get it.

Here's what I want my lineup to be for the next few days:

Reyes ss
Gotay 2b
Wright 3b
Delgado 1b
Alou lf
castro c
anderson rf
thrilledge cf
pitcher

that is the best team we can put on the field right now.

I wouldn't mind seeing Reyes get a day off sometime here. it looks like he's pressing a little and getting frustrated. And LoDuca can take his time coming back btw...

We might not see another 300th victory for a loooong time. As a Yankee fan and a fan of the game Congrats Glavine!!! well deserved!!!!

[BoondockSaint]

And I must say that the Chicago fans treated Glavine great all night.

[TheMojoPin]

Ah well. Pretty cool seeing a great like Glavine do something that it's very likely nobody will ever do again. Good game and good series, Mets.

Its nice to see something that.. Lets face it guys, we might not see many times again.. If ever.. With 5 man rotations, specialists, babying of pitchers with pitch counts and what not, We may never see a 300 game winner ever.. I mean look at Johan Santana.. He is considered maybe the best pitcher in the game for years now.. And what is he at 80 wins?? I don't think we will see it again for a long time.. So even thought it was the Mets.. You have to appreciate history.

[Bulldogcakes]

I know everyone says "You'll never see that again" but I'm not so sure. I understand all the stuff about the 5 man rotation, but the most recent 300 game winners all pitched during the 5 man era for their entire careers. Clemens came up in 86, Glavine in 87 and that was already the time when 5 man rotations were common. The 4 man rotation went out for the most part by the late 70's-early 80's.
ESPN showed a stat last night that of the 22 300 game winners, 11 of them came before 1925. Only 3 of them came between 1925-1980, and the remaining 8 had their 300th win between 1980-present. 1980 is a pretty good dividing line for the 5 man rotation. That pretty much destroys the notion that "We'll never see it again". If anything, its increasing. Pitchers are able to pitch longer and more effectively thanks to better training. Injuries which used to end careers (rotator cuff, Tommy John) are now routinely corrected. You'd need a great pitcher to come up early 20-22 and pitch for around 20 years effectively, averaging 15 wins. He could have some 20 win seasons in the middle and 10-12 win seasons at the beginning and end. I don't think he's the last.

[cougarjake13]

randy johnson needs just 16 but with his back im not sure if he'll be healthy enough to get it


heres johan stats

Year Ag Tm Lg W L G GS CG
8 Yr WL% .690 89 40 241 165 6

so if he averages 15 wins over the next 12 he'll finish with 180 plus the 89 he has already which is 269

Those in line after Johnson figure to have even longer odds. Active pitchers with 200 or more victories include

Mike Mussina (244 wins, age 38),
David Wells (235 wins, age 44),
Jamie Moyer (225 wins, age 44),
Curt Schilling (213 wins, age 40),
Kenny Rogers (210 wins, age 42),
Pedro Martinez (206 wins, age 35),
and John Smoltz (203 wins, age 40).

As for the younger guys on the radar, you've got
Tim Hudson (130 wins, age 32),
Kevin Millwood (130 wins, age 32),
Livan Hernandez (129 wins, age 32),
Barry Zito (109 wins, age 29),
Roy Oswalt (108 wins, age 29),
Javier Vazquez (108 wins, age 30),
Roy Halladay (106 wins, age 30),
Mark Buehrle (105 wins, age 28),
Mark Mulder (103 wins, age 29),
C.C. Sabathia (94 wins, age 27),
Jon Garland (90 wins, age 27),
Johan Santana (89 wins, age 28),
Brad Penny (85 wins, age 29),
Carlos Zambrano (78 wins, age 26),
John Lackey (72 wins, age 28),
Ben Sheets (71 wins, age 29),
Josh Beckett (70 wins, age 27),
Jake Peavy (67 wins, age 26),
Dontrelle Willis (65 wins, age 25),
Jeremy Bonderman (55 wins, age 24),
and Dan Haren (46 wins, age 26).


of the younger list i see maybe santana, zambrano, willis and peavy being the only guys capable and young enough to do it

[cougarjake13]

heres another bill james thingy


Pitcher % chance at 300 Projected career wins

C. Zambrano 19.8% 235
C.C. Sabathia 14% 228
J. Santana 9.8% 218
J. Beckett 8% 206
R. Oswalt 5% 216
J. Garland 4.6% 207
J. Bonderman 4.4% 191
D. Haren 3.4% 185

[BoondockSaint]

I never had a doubt that Wagner would get out of it. :innocent:

[spadanko]

god damn this team is going to kill me one day

great win

[Devo37]

nice win tonight!

on a side note, i have no problem with his on-field play, but does anyone else think Reyes' silly dances and different high-fives for every player seem bush league? there's a fine line between "enthusiastic & energetic" and "acting the fool".

to use an expression more commonly used in football: "act like you've been there before!!!"


what's you're opinion. we'd like to know...

[cougarjake13]

everytime mota pitches he gives up runs

why do we keep putting him out there ??????/

[K.C.]

Well, well, well...things are looking awfully tight in National League East.

Should make for an interesting stretch run...should also make for an interesting Mets/Phils series at the end of August...hopefully it'll be featuring the long-awaited return of Chase 'MVP' Utley.

[Marc with a c]

tom glavine's wife is better looking then reeshy.

[BoondockSaint]

Can we start the fucking game already?

[Kevin]

tom glavine's wife is better looking then reeshy.

Thats high praise indeed!

And Boony.. I agree.. It did last a little to long, and that car they gave him was gay.. Give the man a BMW or Mercedes.. Not a crap Lincoln Merc, for Gods sake!

[cougarjake13]

god damn motherfuckers

Pedro calls latest rehab start 'great improvement' (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2974495)

Figure he's still about a month away, but if he gets up to 80-90 pitches in the next few weeks it could be sooner. He knows himself better than anyone else. If he's happy, then its good news regardless of the results.

[cougarjake13]

man i cant believe we struggle so hard against the butt pirates

Well, both games he has gone to the bullpen afterwards and thrown until he reached 80 pitches like they do in spring training. Pedro said he thinks he needs one more start and then wants to come up. But they are still giving him 5 days rest between starts instead of 4. Who knows? He topped out at 88 today but so did El Duque. He's coming back this year but unless the Mets really collapse in the next week and fall out of first there's no need to push him.

no need to push but i dont want his first start to be the last week of sept or the NLDS if we get there

[BoondockSaint]

Well, the rules are that he has to be brought up 30 days after his first rehab start or he has to go on 15 day dl.

[BoondockSaint]

Willie should have them do this every game.

[BeerBandit]

Thank the Gods for that double play. 2 run HR into becomes a solo shot. Maine has looked baaaaaad these last few weeks.

[cougarjake13]

5-3

we shouldnt be struggling this bad

[BeerBandit]

So, who does Heilman give up the HR to?

[BeerBandit]

I stand corrected.

[BoondockSaint]

I hope Willie gives them the o.k. to sweep tonight.

They were just saying that Reyes is the first infielder to steal 60+ bases three straight years ever.

Congrats to Reyes for setting the club record for steals. And fucking Beltran drives in two more. That's 11rbi's in the last 3 games.

[Bossanova]

Beltran is starting to make me feel ok about this offense

Marlon Anderson is the best pinch hitter ever.

better than lenny harris ???????????

Better than Babe Ruth! Too bad he can't be a pinch reliever.

[BoondockSaint]

6 game lead over both the Phils and the Braves. Good time too since we have to go to both places next week.

[docgoblin]

I'm getting a little concerned about whether Pedro is really gonna come back. They were going to start him tomorrow for Double-A Binghamton in Trenton so the Mets brass can see him pitch in the afternoon then get back for the Mets game against the Dodgers. Now they moved his start back to Monday and he's pitching for the lowly St. Lucie team again. I'm afraid they're not really confident that he can even handle double-A or triple-A batters, forget about Major league hitters. I just think they're really gonna need a boost in the rotation (or even the bullpen) and if they don't get Pedro back the team is gonna have a lot of trouble going into October given the frailties of this pitching staff.

Also... doesn't he have to be brought up by Sept 1st to be eligible for the post season? They're still talking about two more rehab starts. How can he get in two more by next Saturday?... It's impossible.

I don't think we're going to see him this year. Does anyone else feel this way?

[spadanko]

Pedro jsut wants to pitch in Florida and not up in the Northeast.. he wants he warm weather... Next time Lawrence's spot in the rotation comes up I think Pedro will be ready

[BoondockSaint]

They're giving him an extra day because he had a stiff neck from sleeping on it wrong. He's on the DL so Sept. 1st doesn't matter. They have a 6 game lead so why rush him? He'll get 3 starts up here before the playoffs.

i think if he's on the 40 man roster which he is already he's eligible

exactly i'd rather have him healthy and if he only has a few good starts in him for this year i want it to be for the playoffs if we make it

[BoondockSaint]

Phils and Braves both lose so the lead is now 7 over both. I thought this was going to be a race. :smoke:

[weekapaugjz]

wooo! delgado!!!!!!!!!!!

[BoondockSaint]

Worst bullpen ever.

[Bossanova]

This can not be an actual bullpen for a playoff bound team

[K.C.]

This can not be an actual bullpen for a playoff bound team

A few more games like that and it won't be.

[cougarjake13]

i fucking hate guilly mota

get him off the fucking team

[BoondockSaint]

Into the shrubbery!!!!

[PD]

for all the ineptitude of the bullpen lately,
it really is the offense's fault for the last few losses.

[BoondockSaint]

What a dumb fucking play by Anderson.

[Marc with a c]

wow. that's a new one

[K.C.]

What a dumb fucking play by Anderson.

Absolutely...way to keep his head in the game...Green would have been safe by a mile with no slide.

By the way, Steve Phillips said it was a bad call...so there's no question in my mind it was 100% accurate.


We'll take it...one more for the sweep!

[Marc with a c]

i quit

[Servo]

This is fucking atrocious.

[Marc with a c]

that four game series could not have been any worse.

FACE!!!..now how about that race??.....FACE!!!

[BoondockSaint]

Huge win tonight! Maine looked good, Delgado looked good and Marlon Anderson in not human.

[Bulldogcakes]

Huge win tonight! Maine looked good, Delgado looked good and Marlon Anderson in not human.

That was a huge win for you guys. After that brutal loss yesterday and the sweep, things looked bleak heading into the house of horrors in Atlanta. Delgado with a 3 run shot must be a big lift, also.

[BoondockSaint]

Looks like Pedro is going to get the start Monday against the Reds. Duque had to get a cortisone shot in his foot so he's being skipped. Can't wait to see what Pedro looks like.

[cougarjake13]

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


the mets have gone back



to winning !!!!!!!!!!!

who gives a fuck if he keeps pitching like that

[weekapaugjz]

can glavine actually pitch an inning without loading the bases?

[weekapaugjz]

thank god for that sweep. and billy wagner is really starting to piss me off.

Stick a fork in the Braves.

Sweep!!!!!

We need to Carry the momentium into Cincy...

:king:

[BoondockSaint]

It's gonna be a tough one for Pedro today. Cincy scores a ton of runs in that tiny ballpark and we're facing Harang who's having a great year. It'll be good to see Pedro back, though.

[weekapaugjz]

[weekapaugjz]

i think my grandma would have made a better play on that ball than alou.

[BoondockSaint]

It was nice of him to play an out into a double.

[BoondockSaint]

OK that kind of makes up for it.

[weekapaugjz]

i agree.

[weekapaugjz]

3000 Strikeouts!!!

[BoondockSaint]

He looked a hell of a lot better in the 2nd. Congrats on 3000!

[Bossanova]

Pedro looked pretty good. The first really wasnt that bad either, scheap hit, Alou miscue. Welcome back Pedro

didnt see the game but from the line he musta been good

[hammersavage]

Pedro looked good. worked well out of tough spots but worked around hitters to get to the matchup he wanted which cost him a bunch of pitches so he only went 5. hoping he goes 6 next time.

oh and 15

if the bullpen keeps holding and saving his leads then im fine with pedro going 5, at least until the playoffs

braves now 9 1/2 back

[newport king]

i like how we're just shitting on people thru september. all season i haven't really been excited about this team, i thought they played kinda shitty, but i'd lsiten to talk radio and guys would be on saying "what we want is in front of us in the playoffs and the world series" and for a long time it was bothering me they had that attitude, but now that they're getting close i'm starting to believe it.

El Duque up tonight. 9-1 in his last 10

[hammersavage]

am i crazy to think that el duque should be the one left out of the postseason rotation? if no other reason then that he worked out of long relief for the White Sox when they won the world series. and because last year he hurt his leg at the last minute and i don't trust him fully yet.

at this point yes, at least for the division series best of 5, it should be maine, glavine and pedro, not necessarily in that order but def those 3

and have sosa, perez, and el duque join the reg bullpen guys but

not fucking mota !!!!!!!!

that formerly roided up freak has been shit since coming back from suspension and seems to give up runs every time he pitches, by no means should he be on the post season roster, and if for some reason he is, then he should never see the field from any closer then the fucking bullpen bench

[weekapaugjz]

im pissed, a night in over two weeks when i can actually sit down and watch a game, and they are off.

[docgoblin]

I don't know if this game bothered you other Mets fans like it bothered me... But this was terrible! They had it in their hands to put this team in the rear view and they let them off the hook for the 6th time in a row!!! I guess the Mets will eek out the division, but by letting the Phils win these games it keeps their wildcard chances alive... Do you really want to see this team in the NLCS??? The Mets seem to melt when they face them! We finally dispelled the Braves curse and now we're saddled with this! Jimmy Rollin's pre-season prediction may yet come through. THIS WAS A HORRIBLE LOSS!!!:help:

[lleeder]

Mets better hope Philly doesn't win the wildcard.

[Marc with a c]

man the mets are fun to watch

Four errors through three innings? HAHAHA....have to start looking for my broom pic from a couple weeks ago.

By the way, this would be the 8th straight victory for the Phils over the Mets.

[lleeder]

Beltran smacked the shit out of that one.

[BoondockSaint]

Best. bullpen. ever.

[K.C.]

Dobbs smacked the shit out of that one.

Fixed it for you

[K.C.]

Well, Mets fans can take it easy...you've got 13 left against the Nationals and Marlins, so it'd take a pretty monumental collapse for them to not make the playoffs.

And let's face it...the National League is a joke more so this season then it was last season. So they're still in solid shape.


You guys just better pray really hard that the Phillies don't some how stumble their way into the Wild Card. On the off chance that happens, then you should worry.
