Another start for Oliver Perez that produced the exact same results, in fact, Perez's starts have been carbon copies of each other. Perez showed flashes of the "Good Ollie" through the first two innings but once he was faced with any adversity he fell apart. In the end...

Last night was the first opportunity I had to watch a game from start to finish. And an interesting game it was.
Oliver Perez sucked. Even before the 5th inning explosion that knocked him out of the game Perez did not have very good stuff. I don’t care how many times Gary Cohen [...]

I certainly hope the Mets wouldn't entertain the idea of flipping Oliver Perez for Pat Burrell, at least with Milton Bradley he has the numbers ( still don't want him either) but Burrell reported to the Rays out of shape and ineffective, to go along with his regularly bad defense...
