Can Pedro Pitch?

The Braves hit Pedro Martinez hard tonight. In 2 2/3 innings Martinez gave up eight hits and two home runs, leading to seven runs. In his three starts since returning from his injury, Pedro's allowed 14 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings. What might be more troubling, however, is that Pedro struck out just one tonight while walking two. In the two previous starts, he struck out 11 and walked 2. That gave some hope that he still had it. Tonight's start makes that doubtful. We'll watch the news stories tomorrow to see if the Mets are going to comment on if they'll use him in the playoffs.

The Mets shot their wad in August. That was the peak for them. Since then, and I suspect from here on in, it will be all downhill.
I expect them to lose the NLDS in four games to either STL, LAD or SDP, depending on how the wild card race goes.

They ran roughshod through the league all year without Pedro. I think they still have just as good a chance to advance as any team.
