DO NOT PANIC!!!

For years, while the Yankees cranked out 100-win seasons, more or less, I was supposed to get worried if they lost two out of three to the Angels or if Jeff Weaver tanked a game in July.

It's actually refreshing to see the Mets get the same treatment:

"But this 10-2 loss is not an isolated incident. After starting 5-0, when he probably should have started 9-0, he finds himself now at 7-4, without a truly signature Pedro Martinez start since that zero-zero duel with Brandon Webb exactly 30 days ago.

Is he hurt? Is he aching? Is he ailing? Is he aging? Is he all of the above? Is he none of the above?"

Pedro is 7-4, 3.45 ERA with 111 strikeouts.

The Mets are 12 games up.

Concern? There is no reason to even use that word.

The Mets shouldn't have a lot to worry about between here and October.

Or, as Mike Vaccaro puts it:

"They shouldn't have a lot to worry about between here and October."
