“When I did (start up again), I felt a real intense, burning sensation in my heel, and involuntarily just went down… . It was like I stepped on a railroad tie upside-down, like a spike.” - R.A. Dickey

Had enough gloom? Yes? Here’s some more, anyway. A doleful Collins conceded that Davis’ rehab was not progressing as hoped.
“He did his stuff inside again today,” the manager said. “This is two days in a row he did not get on the field. He thought he’d be back tomorrow, and he’s not even on the field yet.”
Oh, right, and the game itself. Well, after Dickey left, Pedro Beato, some guy, some other guy and yet another guy allowed runs. Zambrano owned the mound, and the plate - he allowed two runs in six innings, and went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. And that was about it.

Not completely sure why modesty has become passe, but modern media dictate that the modest finish far behind the showboats, me-firsters and braggarts. A modest wide receiver, after all, is an NFL pregame pariah.
That’s why WFAN did well Saturday to include a sound bite from Mets center fielder Jason Pridie. Asked about hitting a homer the night before, after the Dodgers intentionally walked Ike Davis, he said he didn’t take it personally, not a bit:
“When you see Ike Davis up there and Jason Pridie on deck, you’ve got to pitch to Jason Pridie.”

Pedro, Mets - Yanks Drama:
April 2, Yankees GM Brian Cashman: “He was abused” by Mets last few years.
April 3, Mets Pitching Coach Dan Warthen: “part of the reason we decided to not re-sign him.
April 4, Pedro Feliciano: I will show him in the Subway Series when I strike out Ike Davis. When I jump on the mound, I’ll be like, ‘That’s for you.’
