Pedro still on hold

Surprise! Pedro Martinez did not pick up a baseball today, or even leave the clubhouse for that matter, and that means the Mets will not decide on his fate until tomorrow. Given Pedro's history, however, here's what I think: Martinez will go on the disabled list, allowing the Mets to call up Mike Pelfrey for a start this weekend, and he'll be ready to go after the All-Star break. It just makes the most sense. Why rush Martinez and his balky hip back for one start against the Marlins? He can definitely use the rest, and with the Mets holding a 10 1/2 game lead, they have that luxury.

In other news, David Wright has the night off tonight -- Chris Woodward is starting at third base -- and Cliff Floyd, cobwebs and all after Tuesday's mild concussion, is in left.
