Enough Already with Oliver Perez

The title says it all, enough already with Oliver Perez and lets end the madness! Oliver Perez struggled tremendously during his start against the Astros.  He gave up 3 runs, on 4 hits during his 3 innings of work.  With his latest struggle against the Astros, Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson are now giving Ollie one final chance to redeem himself, by pitching out of the bullpen. ...

Re-Sign Reyes? Sure No Problem, But For How Much?

Rather than post another Reyes blog, I thought I would simply add a small addendum to this one.

Did The Decision To Keep Perez Hurt Ticket Sales?

I want to share part of an email that came my way on Monday. It came from a longtime reader who occasionally emails the site and it really struck a chord with me. She wrote: Why is Oliver Perez still here? I feel like I’m being punished by the Mets for some unknown reason, or maybe mocked is a better word.
