The latest news on El Duque is that his foot injury is minor, he has received a cortisone shot, and though his next start might be pushed back, he most likely will not miss it.

In related news, Omar will make a final decision towards if Pedro will pitch in Brooklyn, or for the Mets against the Reds tomorrow. Which according to my Omar to English Phrase Guide, means Pedro will pitch for the Mets against the Reds on Monday. 

And with game time just minutes away, Moises Alou has been released from the hyperbolic chamber in which the Mets Brass use to transport him. The teams travel staff assure everyone there was no damage done to Alou in the shipping proccess.
