Martinez injury ruined Mets plans

 

The Mets had a great start with a victory over the Marlins, but yesterday revenge was served as Florida top New York 5-4 in 10 innings.

Now the main concern for the Mets is to get back Pedro Martinez, the 3 time Cy young winner, who got injured during the fourth inning and didn’t made it back, actually this is all bad news for New York, who might lost Martinez for a while if his MRI test results are negative, which is quite possible.

Martinez was expected to team up greatly with Johan Santana, now his temporary replacement can be in Nelson Figueroa or Jorge Sosa, who entered the game for Martinez last night at Dolphin Stadium.

"Pedro is a big part of our rotation, but we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We have guys that are able to step up and get it done." said Mets third baseman David Wright.

The picture for the Mets to be a World Series favorite dropped drastically from one day to the other which is a signal of how vulnerable this team is.
