Haven't heard details about the injury. It was characterized on SNY's pregame as a "mild calf strain". Hardly seems the type of injury to put a playoff team's ace on the shelf. Guess the Mets are being ultra-cautious. Or Pedro just wanted another two-week vacation. We'll se how it plays out.
Ron Darling was saying he thinks the two possibilities to replace him in the rotation for a start or two are Brian Bannister and Oliver Perez. Bannister has made 5 rehab starts and two at AAA. The first was a mess, in the last he pitched 8 scoreless.

While Kay-dro is a fierce competitor on the mound, he's also a real pansy off the mound. While with the Sox he was NEVER willing to fight through even the smallest of "injuries". Contrast that with Curt Schilling's bloody red sock, pulling his own stitches out the morning of his playoff start to do some bloodletting and guarantee he could pitch that night.
Pedro's one of the best pitchers out there when he's on, but two things you know about him: he can't pitch past 100 pitches ever, and he is always complaining about one injury or another.
