Feliciano's travel troubles

The alliterative title to this post proves how journalistically gifted I am.

I was a bit distracted while following yesterday's game, so I may have missed the discussion of this, but I seem to recall the radio guys anticipating that Mets' reliever Pedro Feliciano would come out of the bullpen to face specific hitters in the late innings. As Anthony DiComo reports on MLB.com:

Feliciano had traveled home to Puerto Rico on Monday to deal with what he called "family issues," and a canceled flight prevented him from making it back to Queens on time to pitch in the middle innings. Feliciano arrived at Shea Stadium during the seventh, right when manager Willie Randolph made a seemingly questionable move to keep lefty Scott Schoeneweis on the mound.

Feliciano is presumably ready to go tonight.
