For 7 1/2 tense innings the Mets and supporters at Shea finally had something other than Santana's knee injury to worry about. True enough, Oliver Perez , in a likely bid for big bucks, pitched last night as he never had before in a Mets uniform despite a pretty decent record against top opponents. A two-hit complete game shut out however, was in danger of being wasted until the decisive 8th. "Today,...

Eddie Bajek has cautioned that his projected Elias rankings may not be perfect. However, it's the closest thing we've got as Eddie is the only person to publicly reverse-engineer the rankings. With that, a look at the NL starters: Type A: C.C. Sabathia, Ben Sheets, Oliver Perez, Derek Lowe, and Jamie Moyer. Moyer is on the borderline, so he could possibly end up a Type B. He seems likely to re-sign...

Mets Collapse Again: Mets lose on last day, go 6 -10 down the stretch, and this Yankee fan officially feels bad for Mets fans. Cruel. Just cruel. New York fans love scapegoats and might obsess to whether Jerry Manuel pulled Oliver Perez too early, but I suspect that the outcome ...

I won't claim it's an original thought, but as the final outs ticked down today, I mused to myself: It's 2006's Game 7 in miniature. There was Oliver Perez, a scarily unknown quantity, pitching on three days' rest and acquitting himself very ably indeed. There were the bats, not being heard from enough. There was Endy Chavez, saving the Mets' season with a sparkling defensive play in deep left. There...

It’s easy to have watched that game and curse out the bullpen for giving up those two HRs. But to be completely honest - if I were told that with Oliver Perez pitching on three days rest the Mets would give up four runs, I would be content with that. The offense, is at the heart of [...]

Marlins 4 Mets 2 Too little, too late. Oliver Perez pitched well, but was no Johan Santana. Carlos Beltran was clutch, but was no Ryan Howard. David Wright, Carlos Delgado, Ryan Church, and Jose Reyes combined for two hits in 16 at-bats. Those two and the two by Beltran represented the complete output of the Mets offense [...]

Oliver Perez didn't stick around long yesterday after the Mets' 2-0 win over the Marlins. As he walked out of the clubhouse, Perez was asked about starting today's regular-season finale. Without turning around he said, "I'm ready to go." For the...
