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.

"Fire Willie!"
You know it's bad when the Shea Stadium crowd starts chanting:
"FIRE WILLIE clap clap clapclapclap FIRE WILLIE clap clap clapclapclap"
Oh man. This is rough stuff. I can't see Willie Randolph making it through the week at this pace. I know fans shouldn't be able to call the shots, but fans pay the bills.
Something is going to happen, and soon.

I hate snakes
This would be more fitting if the Mets were playing the Diamondbacks, I know.
The Mets will take on the Marlins tonight, but I'm going to see Indiana Jones (finally) so enjoy the game.
I hate fish.

Willie still employed
Willie Randolph is still the manager of the New York Mets.
Happy? Sad? Complacent?

Still talking
According to ESPNews, the meeting between Fred Wilpon, Omar Minaya and Willie Randolph is still in session.
The meeting was scheduled for 2 p.m. and it's now 4:37 p.m. I can't see them taking over two and half hours to fire a guy, so I think Randolph's job is safe for now. I could be wrong, but just a hunch.

Geremi Gonzalez killed by lightning
Geremi Gonzalez, who pitched in three games for the Mets in 2006, throwing 14 innings and amassing a 7.71 ERA was killed by lightning in Venezuela on Sunday.
That is really unfortunate and my thoughts go out to Gonzalez's family.

A few thoughts on this beautiful Memorial Day
First off, if you're inside reading this and you're not at work, go outside! The weather outside is spectacular.
Mercifully, the Mets road trip ended yesterday, as they fell to the Colorado Rockies by a score of 4-1. They're record on the latest road trip was a pitiful 1-6.
Today, Willie Randolph will meet with Omar Minaya and The Wilpons in their usual quarterly meeting. This meeting is now under the magnifying glass as the team is playing some uninspired baseball and currently sits two games under .500 on the season.
Everyone and their mothers is claiming Randolph most likely will not be canned today. I'd have to agree, but if the team continues to play at this level, I can't see him making it through this homestand.
Adam Rubin in the Daily News is reporting there are whispers that the Mets are mulling a AAA sting for Aaron Heilman. The Mets would most likely call up Carlos Muniz, who is 2-2 with a 1.80 ERA in New Orleans.
Well I have to say, it's about time. He's young, struggling, and it cannot hurt to get out of New York right now to clear your head. I say pull the trigger, sooner rather than later.

This guy seems pretty dead-set on Randolph's job security.

Enjoy your Memorial Day. A huge "thank you" must go out to all the members of the military.
TSTDIA: Rockies 4 -- Mets 1
The Mets ran into another stellar pitching performance, as Aaron Cook pitched a complete game and the Mets end their road trip a dismal 1-6.

Game Preview: Mets @ Rockies
The Mets and Rockies square off in the rubber game at Coors Field.
Lineup:
SS Jose Reyes
2B Luis Castillo
3B David Wright
CF Carlos Beltran
1B Carlos Delgado
C Brian Schneider
LF Nick Evans
RF Endy Chavez
SP John Maine
There's the lineup for todays matinée in Colorado. Glad to see Evans still in there and moving up in the order. Chavez plays again as Ryan Church is still feeling the effects of getting a knee to the head.
Hopefully Church doesn't need to go to the disabled list, but it doesn't look promising. Maybe Mike Carp will get a call-up, if that happens.
