Pedro Martinez – Pitched his final regular Season game at Shea.

As usual Pedro allowed first innings runs in his start last night. Then settled down until the 7th where he lost his steam. He did strike out 9 along the way.

As he strolled off the Shea field the fans realizing this was his final start stood up and gave him a standing ovation for the man that brought credibility back to the franchise when he was signed prior to the 2005 Season.

His totals this year were not pretty. He went 5-6 with a 5.61 Era and had 87 strike outs in 109 innings.

For the 4 years with the Mets he was 32 and 23.

Fans will always debate if he was worth what the Mets paid him .

Now we wait and see if he gets a chance to pitch for the Mets one last time in the playoffs.
