Pedro To The DL With Strain Hamstring

The right one is a size 11 high top; the left one is the same size but a traditional low cut. And only the high top has been modified to alleviate stress in the large toe. If the Mets are looking to fill the shoes left unoccupied by Pedro Martinez on Tuesday night, they can start there, with those specifications, though finding someone who could slip into Martinez's customized Nike spikes probably will be a less daunting task that finding a pitcher of equal quality and presence.

In no way is this a Cinderella story. Martinez is down, assigned to disabled list exile probably until the middle of next month. The Mets are down a tad, too, though in a different way. They had such high hopes for a successful start. And now this -- a mild strain of Martinez's left hamstring -- has the pitcher walking with a limp and them thinking with a hitch in their giddyup. "It would have been cool to see them go 1-2 for three or four turns [of the rotation]," catcher Brian Schneider said of Johan Santana and Martinez. "But that hammy got Pedro right away. So we'll just have to make due."
