Who fills in for Pelfrey?

The Mets won't determine whether Mike Pelfrey (forearm tendinitis) will pitch Sunday until Friday, but they removed Nelson Figueroa from his Triple-A start after two innings Thursday as a precaution for a possible fill-in appearance. Pelfrey, who has been taking anti-inflammatory medication, played catch yesterday and said, "As far as I know, I'm still (pitching) Sunday. ... I'm not concerned about it at all." If Pelfrey doesn't need a stint on the disabled list, the Mets would need to make a roster move to add Figueroa. Rule 5 reliever Darren O'Day is a logical candidate, but the sidearming righty would have to be offered back to the Angels if he's removed from the major-league roster.

Don't worry TRUTH. You shouldn't care.

He's part of that oh-so-solid Mets rotation that was gonna cruise to the World Series on the backs of JJ Putz and Frankie Rodriguez.

Haha...because Kawasaki and your bullpen are terrific. I'm a Mets fan, but a realist. I don't think they are World Series material, but I wouldn't be on here bashing the Phillies and Braves. Want to know why? Because the Marlins are the best team in this division. Best SP and best offense.

Maybe Truth shouldn't have made a comment if he doesn't care. Just a thought.

The fact that I'm agreeing with a Mets fan gives me that creepy feeling..... but well said. Go Marlins!!!!

Let's not get crazy here.....Pelfrey will be fine, the Mets will battle the Sillies for the division, and the Marlins will fade in August or sooner.
No bullpen +no defense = no play-offs for Florida.

Well,someone who refers to themselves as TRUTH should be embarrassed just on principle alone. Second of all,if you don't know who the #2 starter on a major market team is,then I'm pretty sure you're just ignorant about baseball in general.

Ahhh,a fair weather Marlins fan (is there any other kind?) When did you start rooting for the team,when they became good again? I'm sure the minute they do badly you'll lose interest ; )

Btw,learn how to spell.You're quite illiterate,even for T&R...

April 17, 2009  08:32 PM ET

This is not a English forum moron I don't care about spelling here if u do then ur a dumb ass.

April 17, 2009  11:39 PM ET

See, like I say, where's Ramiro Mendoza? They never learn.

I give cred to the Marlins management for putting together a competitive team. But I give zero respect to the fans and the city who can't give enough of a crap to put some fannies in the seats and cough up the money to get a real stadium instead of that dump. The team deserves a better city. And yes, I am a Mets fan.

April 18, 2009  01:30 AM ET

it is kinda sad to see the marlins stadium so empty all the time. maybe their new stadium will help out with attendance.
