Oliver Perez To Have Sore Knee Examined

I have to say, in my opinion Oliver Perez is hands down the worst signing of Omar Minaya's reign. What makes things worse is that everything Perez has exhibited this year, could have been predicted prior to his signing and for this team it's exactly what they didn't need.Behind Johan Santana the Mets have too many variables, what they needed to sign was a consistent pitcher...

Oliver Perez described his balky right knee as "sore" a day after the southpaw left Tuesday's game against the Braves after five innings with inflammation.

After failing to get a bunt down with two on in the fourth inning, pitcher Oliver Perez lined a two-strike single to right field.

I have to be honest, after Oliver Perez gave up that homer to Adam LaRoche (the solo homer in the 3rd, not the three run homer he gave up to Matt Diaz in the 2nd)that gave the Braves what seemed at the moment, reasonably to be an insurmountable 4-0 lead, I switched it over to watch Pedro pitch. Just for the sake of my own sanity, you see. Oliver Perez has that effect on people...

Aside from Johan Santana and inconsistent Mike Pelfrey do we even have a rotation anymore...Oliver Perez is either a question mark because of whats under his hat or his right knee.Livan Hernandez has done what we all expected, he had a great first half ( as he did with the Twins) and then fallen apart, the big problem is none of his second half replacements worked out ( Freddy Garcia...

The Mets surprised everyone last night by beating the Braves, 9-4, after falling behind, 4-0. And Oliver Perez was pitching, too. How about that? The big news was the record-setting fourth inning, when the offense exploded for eight runs on a franchise-record 10 hits. It usually takes the Mets eight games to score eight runs. Perez (who was his usual self—five innings, four...

NYBD contributor Howard Megdal was on SNY’s New York Baseball Today with Ted Berg. They discussed CC Sabathia and Howard’s favorite pitcher Oliver Perez. No worries, he didn’t bring up the MVP criteria, Joe Mauer, or Mark Teixeira. He did mention Derek Lowe, who I think would look real nice as a #2 behind Johan [...]

MLB Draft: There seems to be universal agreement - the draft system is broken and will definitely be fixed in 2011. “Only five starting pitchers on the entire free-agent market got packages bigger than that last winter: CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Derek Lowe, Ryan Dempster and Oliver Perez … The Mariners showered a package [...]

To say that this game and this series is a must-win for the Braves may be a bit of an understatement. With the shape the Mets are currently in, we should absolutely beat the snot out of them.

The Mets have their first three starters in order. Johan is a clear ace.  Mike Pelfrey is considered a No. 2, even if only by Mets management.  Oliver Perez is so highly paid he has to be the No. 3 guy. From there on, it’s been a roller coaster. John Maine was the No. 4 starter at the beginning of the season, but he won’t be back to pitch this year, and Livan...
