According to Adam Rubin’s blog at the Daily News, Pedro Feliciano was not available to play in today’s game vs the Phillies. Feliciano arrived in the 7th inning, Rubin notes, adding:
Feliciano had permission from the Mets to go home to Puerto Rico for a family issue after Sunday’s game in Philadelphia. His 6 a.m. flight from San Juan to JFK was canceled, and he had to be re-routed through Orlando. Mets security picked him up at the airport, but couldn’t get him to the ballpark in time to contribute.
Well that answers some lingering questions about why Willie did not use him today. We certainly needed the help. I was at the game and I didn’t see him warming up at all, so I assumed he was unavailable.
Hat tip to Dew at the Bleachers for the tip.

Ms. Gal, you were there! Great! Unfortunately Feliciano’s flight was cancelled, which could have turned out to be a difference maker in this game. I have been looking all around for this info and found it here, thanks to you and Mr. Dew!
Cver, what’s strange is that at Shea, they give a run down of who is available in the pen, and his name was on there, even though we didn’t see him at all. Poor guy.
Turns out he was there by the 7th inning and Willie decided to leave Show in maybe because he wanted to save Feliciano for Howard and Utley’s next time around.
