Don't Get Crazy...Yet!

OK, so as I'm sure most of you know by now, Pedro Martinez left his first start tonight with what's currently being called a hamstring strain. He'll have an MRI Wednesday.

Of course, the newspapers will be all over him; moron Wally Matthews will call him out, talk radio will be burying him and his season, and in some circles likely the Mets season as well. After all, sports media is under no requirement to be rational.

He walked down the stairs, walked through the tunnel. I don't imagine this is anything major. If it is, it will be a big problem. But rather than shooting first and asking questions later, let's see if this is 2-3 starts missed, or 10 starts. There's a big difference there.

We're two games in, folks. Keep things in perspective.
