Another return

Tonight we get another return, though Tom Gorzellany's is much less anticipated than Pedro Martinez's was last night. Actually, Gorzo's return tonight kind of scares me. Francisco Liriano just had his season ended after trying to come back from some elbow discomfort and Jonathon Papelbon has been shut down for the year rather than risking further injury upon return. Still, Gorzellany's MRI came back negative, so I suppose I shouldn't be too scared. He's also on a very tight leash tonight of about 60 pitches, to be followed out of the pen by Shane Youman. They'll face El Duque, who very well may be older than both of them combined. His 80 mph fastball has bedaffled the Pirates all year, both with the Mets and D-Backs, so this game may be the Mets best shot at clinching on the field at PNC (well, him or Tom Glavine tomorrow, so we'll say the odds are even). I'll be there as part of the Deadspin Pittsburgh Night, so if you see a bunch of rowdy drunks on the rotunda, stop by and say hello.
