I was at home watching the latest installment of the New York Mess....The Mets ended up giving the game to the Phillies with walks, sort of brings me back to the days of Kenny Rogers.

The Mets' problems do not stem from their manager, but it seems the pitching is at question here.

Oliver Perez has been horrendous and it seems the Mets should of not re-signed him. The Mets options are to send him to the minors and let him re-tool or make him work out of the bullpen. The possible candidates to replace him would be Jon Niese, Nelson Figueroa, Brandon Knight, or Dillon Gee..

Oliver Perez's Stats:

Other inquires that seem at hand here are Sean Green. Is this guy the next and coming of Aaron Heilman? By the way, Heilman gave up six runs the other day in a Cubs uniform (good call).
