El Duque is out with shoulder bursitis. He should recover from the injury in about 2-8 weeks. Then he’ll have to begin a conditioning program, followed by simulated games/rehab starts. He’ll be out for a while. And this, folks, is why you shouldn’t depend on pitchers who are 50 years old as your #2 starters. Mike Pelfrey and Chan Ho Park in the same rotation??? They’re both going to have 5.00+ ERAs. It’s also worth noting that with Lasting Milledge’s recent injury, he probably won’t be available as trade bait unless the Mets really want to sell low with him.

Also, Jose Valentin tore his ACL, which means he’ll be out for a long time. Damion Easley as the starting second baseman? Ugh.

This season could get kind of ugly.

Chan Ho “I can’t keep the ball in the” Park starts tonight against the league’s best offense. Here’s something that I think is interesting:
