The Mets dominated the entire National League without Pedro all season. I doubt next week will be any different.
Watch for a net positive "rally around our hero" attitude. As long as they do what they've done all year, they'll be fine.
But, yeah, it sucks not having a healthy Pedro.

That's Pedro for ya. In the American League he was a 6+ inning pitcher and was always limp at the end. Now he's in the National League and which should translate into 8 innings but still limp in the end. Physically, he's got about a year left. Hopefully for you Met fans his emotions will carry him through his big contract. -coming from a redsox dieheard.

You should be thankful that he doesn't go out and get shelled with a quarter of his stuff...Mets are still the only real contender for a series in the NL while the AL is loaded with contenders (sans Oakland) including my beloved Twins (ahem 1st place, ahem..)

There was a reason why the RedSox set a floor price on Pedro in 2005.... (also Sox fan here, sorry)
Actually, I think the Mets will be OK without him. Although he was a catalytic spark since the Mets acquirer him. But the Mets have done fine with his DL stints this year.
Another subway series?!? Personally, I hope not! Even though I'm a RedSox fan now, when I lived in NYC I did prefer the Mets.
Enjoy the playoffs, all we have are the Patriots.
