Pedro return date set

According to Marty Noble at Mets.com, Pedro Martinez will make his return to the majors on June 3 in San Francisco.

I've said it time and time again, the Mets need a character and personality like Pedro in the clubhouse. He's a veteran, who knows how to talk with both the fellow old guys and the young guys.

Hopefully, he isn't a shell of his former self, but I'm not setting myself up for a big letdown. All he needs to do is pitch quality innings, nothing more.

Maybe Pedro will be the jolt this team needs, but I seem to be pinning that on everyone these days.
