According to SNY’s Post-Game Show, Pedro Martinez is scheduled to return to St. Lucie and pitch a bullpen session on Sunday.
…so, bullpen on sunday, after which i’m guessing he’ll need another tune up given the off days, so, i suspect he could be ready to return to the Mets during the first week of June…

we need this guy to shape up this team maybe he can teach some of his young cocky teammate to grow up
sandman, i think the problem is, the mets dont have any players who are cocky..or have swaggers. The 86 mets were so good because they didnt let anyone push them around…these mets get there a** handed to them on a platter and do nothing about it. The 86 mets would have been in brawls already if this happened and they certainly would not be jogging out groundballs/fly balls.
This guy’s circus act is getting old. Cut bait on him too - send a message to his DL country club buddies.
I didn’t think I’d ever agree with this sentiment but after all that has happened since Wainright buckled Beltran’s knees…I agree.
I’m tired of reading about Pedro side sessions and rehab progress as if there is some hope of him regaining good form and health and anchoring this rotation. I hope for it but it will never happen.
Injuries aside…all the positive vibes in Spring Training came crashing down in the 4th inning of Game 2 against the Marlins when Pedro grabbed his hamstring and hobbled off the mound.
I’m almost numb to the pain at this point. Almost.
I miss Pedro…
Just in time for the team to not score any runs for him. Pedro coming back and pitching more than an inning would be nice, but he’s far from a savior at this point.
If Pedro came back and could throw his fastball 95 mph anytime he wanted, it still wouldn’t help as his team’s defense, lifeless bats, and inconsistent pen would ruin any great 6-7 innings he pitched. But welcome back Pedro - you are still the man despite what some ingrate “fans” think.
Some of you guys are jokers for real… What has Pedro done for the Mets besides being on the DL… Do you really think it was a good investment for the Mets to sign PEDRO to a 4 year deal??? This guy has dones ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NADA except for goofing off and looking cute on Camera since he’s been with the METS.. And I’m calling HIM OUT on it…
And how is this Pedro’s fault? I guess it’s beyond you that brilliant ballplayers don’t last forever. The Mets signed him at the tail-end of his career and basically have to take what they can get. The Pedro they got in 2005 injected some life into this team and it pitched pretty damn good at times. His health issues were for all to see at the end of his time in Boston. You got a problem with Pedro’s health, take it up with the guys who signed him. Everyone knew then his health was going to be an issue. Some Met fans can still appreciate a true talent when they see one, even one who’s on the verge of retirement. In fact, I’m so old I saw, in person, the great Willie Mays actually play in a Met uniform in 1973 and though he was at the end of his brilliant HOF career at that point, Met fans went nuts seeing him in a Mets uniform. I can’t tell you to like what Pedro gave the Mets at this stage of the game, but what burns up some of us here is how little respect you have towards such an amazing talent, though well past his prime, and how little you understand or “get” the fleeting beauty of the game. It ain’t Pedro’s fault the Mets suck this bad right now. To me, the kind of fan who can’t see past the “what have you done for me lately” concept is pretty sad. And jeez, how Mets fans have changed so much for the worse!
Pedro Martinez was a brilliant pitcher… Yes for the Dodgers/Expos/REdsox… My point on Pedro is yes he was a great pitcher ,but signing Pedro to a 4 year deal was a horrible baseball move… It locked up alot of money to a guy who has not contributed… 2005?? Mets didn’t even make the playoffs so let’s not call that season a success… Bottom Line on Pedro is Yes HOF pitcher.. Bad Baseball Move for Sure for the Mets… Giving Ace type money to a guy who will average 7 wins a game a Year is an Utter FAILURE…
I Don’t get you Guys for REal… What has PEDRO done for the METS… He’s won 27 games in 3 years with the METS>… 23 GAMES IN 3 YEARS… He’ll probably come back and win you about plus minus 7 games this year… that’s 30 wins in 4 YEARSSSSS… Pedro will average about 7 wins a Year for 4 Years and You guys talk about this guy like he’s TOM SEaver or Dwight Gooden… I will never rip guys that win Championships ,but a Pedro except for goofing off has meant nothing to the organization… Knowing what the Mets know now do you think the Mets would’ve signed Martinez??? It’s a resounding NOOO so Pedro was a Big FLOP.. so Let’s make this guy’s comeback seem like the Second Coming of Christ… GEeeeeeez Enough…
lol I’m curious; How do you decide when to use capital letters? It’s funny how you capitalize the most random letters. It must be mayhem up in that head of yours.
You can’t face the fact that signing Pedro Martinez for 4 YEARS was an Utter FAILURE and instead you attack my using of the CAP… LOL…
I know your Bronx Bums are stinking it up…but surely you have better things to do, Skankee troll!
Didn’t know you were signing his paychecks tvtech. Cripes, get a grip.
What team is Guillen on?
Maybe Pedro can start against them and hit him 3 times in a game like he did in 06.
And you know something? Pedro has forgotten more about pitching than almost everybody else knows on the team right now. I’d take a Pedro that throws slow over Oliver “Headcase” Perez any day.
Did you ever actually see Strawberry play in person? Half the time he looked like he would lapse into a coma at the plate and in the outfield.
Dude ,but Straw Won us a Championship baby and that’s all that matters… Straw is enshrined in Met IMMORTALITY for his contributions… and so is RAY KNIGHT for that matter… and he only played 3 years with the METS… And it was because KNIGHT showed what he was made of while he was with the METS… Guys who busted and gave a crap about Winning BAseball are guys that I really enjoy rooting… Not guys who just show up to the ballpark and goof off…
Give me players like Nails and Backman all Day on the Mets…
Not one guy on that 86 team won it single-handedly. The team did. They all contributed. Plus they had a manager who knew how to win. Same as the 69 team and their manager. Pedro is NOT the problem - but he is an aging player who’s best days are behind him. But the rest of TEAM can’t get out of its own way. And a manager who’s lost them.
I second that.
I’ll believe it when I see it, and if I do see it, he will just hurt something else.
Always a big Pedro fan, but I am just about done with him as well.
