They did not send him to the minors, nor did they put him on the disabled list after Ollie announced Sunday that his knee has been “injured” since the start of the season. Instead Fred Wilpon and Omar Minaya flew down to Atlanta and decided along [...]

In a surprising but predictable Mets fashion, Oliver Perez will go to the bullpen to work out his problems.
It’s a terrible move for everyone involved because in effect the Mets are now working with a 24 man roster until Perez can get his act together.

Nationals Series Game 3
Game 18: Nationals 8 - Mets 1
The Mets score in the first and do absolutely nothing else offensively on the day.
Oliver Perez is terrible again, allowing 9 hits (including 2 home runs) and 7 earned runs in 4-1/3 innings.
