The Mets Disaster

I was at last night's Mets disaster. Everyone who saw the "game" knows that the bats were asleep and the bullpen stunk, especially Manny Accosta who doesn't belong anywhere near a major league team. But one thing that perhaps nobody complained or worried about yet is the performance of our starter, Oliver Perez. Everyone can remember the good old days of "Good Ollie or bad Ollie tonight?" The days of mostly good Ollie turned to always bad Ollie very fast. Bad Ollie would flash some talent but then would fall asleep on the mound and walk 12 people in a row with some wild pitches sprinkled in. This year, however, we have not even merited "Bad Ollie" (except for a brief showing yesterday in the 5th when he walked the pitcher). Ollie's fastball is now topping out at 84 MPH. He is getting hit around and hard. This is not something we are used to seeing, and this is very worrisome. Ollie was
supposed to get in shape in the offseason, but still the velocity just isn't there. He's not even
giving himself a chance to blow the game all by himself. "Good Ollie" and "Bad Ollie" has given way to "Too Many Tacos Ollie." At least there's only 2 years and $24 million bucks left on the $36 million Oliver Perez Ponzi Scheme.
