May 14th – Oliver Perez is finished
He can’t blame the weather anymore. I can semi-understand Oliver Perez being bitchy and wild when its 40 degrees out at Citifield and he can’t find the plate. But there aren’t anymore excuses anymore – are there? Its time to cut the cord. The Mets have money. Oliver Perez will never be a good pitcher (anymore) in NY.
However, I don’t agree with Amazin’ Avenue.
R.A. Dickey should NOT be on the next plane, he isn’t the answer either. I don’t care what he’s doing in AAA, he’s 35 years old. His ship has sailed. Did he even have a ship to begin with?
Fine – give Hisanori Takahashi a chance, (maybe) give Pat Misch a chance, but lets get Omar to earn his friggin’ keep and have him bring in a decent stop-gap starter until Daniel Murphy is healthy and we can parlay him into an arm.
But – why is the 3rd richest franchise in baseball (according to Forbes magazine) not filled with more depth? Why is the 6th starter on the 3rd richest franchise in baseball R.A. Dickey? or even Pat Misch? Why?
When will the Mets get to the point that their financial prowess matches the depth and status of the players on the 25/40 man roster?
It sickens me but don’t make me watch another Oliver Perez start. Nothing is worse.
