Mets can't get big hit, Pedro OK for five innings

Is it too late for Omar Minaya to ask for a do-over? The general manager probably was reaching for his cell phone during the eighth inning of Friday's 7-3 loss to the Astros at Minute Maid Park.

A leadoff double by Carlos Delgado and the bases loaded and nobody out did not produce runs in the New York sixth and seventh innings. That is where the New York Metropolitans lost this baseball game at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. Pedro could not spot his breaking pitches and his velocity is down, by he had not pitched in 20 days. He threw 87 pitches (49 straikes-38 balls). Aaron Heilman yielded his eighth home-run in sixty innings in 2008.

How in the hell does Aaron Heilman expect to be a starting pitcher when he can't pitch 2 innings. I wish we traded him but then again who else would take him.
