We Pause Our Super Bowl-A-Thon Coverage: Pedro Martinez Enraged At Miami Restaurant.

We’ll resume shoving Super Bowl inspired posts down your throats next post…maybe. For now, Pedro Martinez of the New York Mets doesn’t seem to be dealing well with news that Johan Santana will be his bullpen chum in Queens. Martinez was seen at a restaurant in Miami this weekend and reportedly went berserk when someone asked him about the new pitching staff. Then a hostess made him wait for a table and when you deny a fat man his food, well, that’s not cool.

A spy [Ed. Note: We need one of these for the Chip!] said, “Pedro started cursing and demanded to be seated. He was with a friend and had been discussing the team’s pitching staff. Pedro didn’t look happy at all with the discussion and got even madder when he was told to wait.” To make matters worse, Star Jones walked in and was seated immediately. “Pedro ended his dinner early,” our spy said. A rep for the Mets said, “That is unlike Pedro. I would highly doubt that he was agitated in a public place.”

Pedro should know that a former fatty like Star Jones would begin to eat people if she were left to wait. But what’s more important here is the idea that Pedro is upset about his new Venezuelan enemy teammate Johan Santana sharing his resin bag. Somebody’s j-e-e-alous.
