Pedro Martinez returned to Shea Stadium Friday with a message: He and the Mets have an obligation to their fans because of last year's historic meltdown in the final weeks. "We owe them something. We built a team that is supposed to win it and I think the time is this year," Martinez said after he got closer to coming off the disabled list by throwing long-toss in the outfield before last night's game against the Dodgers.

we? is that a frog in your pocket, peter? i know you aren't speaking french, so who is the we character? the mets could quite possibly helped with you actually pitching.

You could start by lowering the ticket prices so the fans didn't have to pay for that half #ss effort last year, and this year as well!

Wow Petey, that is ingenious stuff. I think you should be promoted to General Manager for those pearls of wisdom. You go right to the head of the class.

As simple as his statement was, he's still the only Met to say it. Willie and the other stiffs all "have moved on" from last year and apparently have learned nothing from it. There's still no fire or sence of urgency.

And Hillary you're dead right. But instead, we'll see the prices double by next year to pay for the new stadium......

All fans want (aside from wins) is HONESTY
we HATE when athletes think we're dumb- or not WORTH acknowledgement

Good for Pedro.

You owe the Mets organization about 4/5 of your salary !!!

The time was 2006 when the Cardinals beat them.

Lee O, you took the words right out of my mouth, Pedro should pipe down. Here's a guy that got a 4 year contract making a ton of money and he's made enough starts to cover 1 year. At least your teammates where out there playing. I wouldn't doubt if the G.M. of the LATINO METS gives him an extension after this year.

Yep..the Mets are just having a meltdown now so they can be dominant the second of the year...solid logic

May 31, 2008  03:58 PM ET

Best moves Theo Epstein ever made? Not overpaying for Pedro and Johnny Damon.

May 31, 2008  03:59 PM ET

Pedro should think about being a better person and do the right thing. He needs to stop blaming others and take some responsibility.

i cant wait to see what you willy haters are going to say when he brings his team back . your gonna need a towel to wipe the egg off your face.

May 31, 2008  07:37 PM ET

Mets fans suck go to hell **** . The act like the won the world series when the beat the florida marlins

May 31, 2008  08:08 PM ET

Pedro is worth every penny if he pulls a Mike Hampton and gets injured in warmups and never plays again. The Mets would be in their 2004 ineptitude if he didn't pave the way for good players to actually play for this team again.

May 31, 2008  10:03 PM ET

Well at least the Mets won't have to worry about a collapse this season.....
