OK, so Pedro Martinez didn't have the best first inning of his life tonight, giving up six runs on four hits to the Phillies. He also walked David Dellucci and hit two straight batters, Aaron Rowand (on an 0-2 pitch) and Chris Coste.
But, for Mets fans, here's the REALLY bad news.
Pedro had to leave the game after the first inning with a strained right calf. He said he felt the problem while he was warming up in the bullpen before the game. The Mets are usually careful with Pedro, and obviously, with a 14-game lead in the NL East, they'll be taking no chances.
Still, after she heard about the injury, a friend of mine who loves the Mets said sarcastically, "That's good news for the playoffs."

Also, pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco and reliever Andrew Barb combined for a no-hitter Sunday for Class A Lakewood.
More later.
