Pedro Hurt as Mets Go Down 5-4 in 10

ME: today was better. tackled more resumes and assisted my boss who is loopier as ever. i am concerned about his health but doing the best i can to take care of him and the management of his small business. i attempted to get medicaid, leaving work early so i can see if i get some sort of coverage (i was going to go on saturday, but started too late-it was in coney island and closed at noon!). got there exactly at 4:15 was told to fill out forms at home and come back with documents, &c...got my hairs cut and a shave. met becky and we went to a CalArts student's parents' home. there, alumni and chosen students (of something like over 350,000!) meet to discuss california, the school and its programs. it was nice. it made me really excited for becky. the finger foods were fabulous! mad baby chicken quesadillas and burgers! yummers! good times. whacky people.

METS: today, Pedro was to make his big start. it was to be what we all waited for this spring "the Johan/Pedro Connection. but it didn't happen that long. after 3 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on four hits, Pedro pulled a hammy and was assisted off the field. with an already DL'd El Duque and shaky Pelfrey, it makes you wonder who would replace Martinez, should this be a serious injury...Jorge Sosa came in and was effective, throwing 2 2/3 innings and allowing only
three hits. Schneider had a productive 3-4 day behind the plate and Pagan went 1-3 with a run and two RBI. Wright, Church and Delagdo all went 1-4 with a run scored. the game was tied until the bottom of the 10th, when Robert Andino, in the game at third for Cantu, hit a walk-off home run. Pedro...damn...is he really too old now? he can be effective. he has stuff that dances at the plate; fools batters. hope it's not serious.
