Pedro Martinez isn’t himself in the first inning tonight. He’s given up four hits (although three of the them were on shoddy fielding), he walked one, hit two, committed a balk, and had Carlos Beltran misplay a single with the bases loaded to allow a third run to score on the play. Pedro strikes out Hamels to end the inning, but the Phillies are up 6-0 after one.
Unit just got K number 4500.
Pedro’s right calf is hurting, according to SNY.
After deferring a conclusion for a while, here it is: The Mets just don’t look like that scary of a team to meet in the playoffs. Certainly not to whichever team gets to the WS from the AL.
