Pedro Martinez says Mets forced him to pitch while injured, team denies it (Big League Stew)

Not that we expected anything different, but it sounds as if Pedro Martinez pulls no punches in his new book, "Pedro," which hits stores Tuesday.

We've already heard Martinez's wild story about Manny Ramirez from the book, and now Martinez's book is making headlines for something he wrote about his tenure with the New York Mets.

Martinez alleges that the Mets forced him to pitch late in the 2005 season, even though he had a toe injury and had been told by his manager that he was done for the year.
