Don't mention the luck of the Irish , we have had nothing but bad luck.

[HahnSolo]

Top second and Ollie has already walked three. 2 on, 1 out.

[HahnSolo]

Make it four walks. The bags are drunk with one away.

[Guest AG/DC]

Four now.

No way to be.

[HahnSolo]

Error on a Gorzellany grounder by Castillo and its 1-0.

[bmfc1]

Can Perez declare for free agency right now?

[HahnSolo]

Ugh. Mclouth bases loaded walk and its 2-0. Thats 5 BBs for Perez.

[Guest holychicken]

And then he walks in a run. 4 walks in the inning already. . . ugh

[Guest AG/DC]

Well, if you can't trust your fielders, better walk another guy.

Worst. No-hitter. Ever.

[bmfc1]

"This is just an acceptable performance from Oliver Perez" says Howie Rose. I wonder if John Sterling ever said anything like that about a Yankee.

[metirish]

Safe to say that my IGT starting CAHNfidence is going to be shot after this debacle , thanks a fucking bunch Ollie.

Not anymore. 3-0 on a Sanchez hit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, Perez um... sucks.

[Guest AG/DC]

trade him for Nady before they leave town?

[metirish]

At this rate Boras will fire Perez.

[Willets Point]

This isn't looking pretty on gameday. Please tell me the animation has just gone screwy.

[Guest holychicken]

Wow, at least this game was over real quick.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ollie out, Figgy in, crooked numbers expanding.

[MFS62]

I think Kukla could pitch as well as Ollie is pitching today. Maybe even Fran.
They used six pitchers yesterday and now this.
On the pregame radio show, Willie said Figueroa is able to pitch in either short or long relief today.
But, eight innings? (EDIT: JCL postedabout the pitching change while I was typing that)

Seven. Seven is a crooked number.

[Theoldmole]

Can we break another water main?

[HahnSolo]

How bad was the Castillo error? Did anyone see it?

[MFS62]

I don't care what the box score shows, Perez deserved to earn every one of those runs.

Of course, when you walk 5. That doesn't mean your second baseman can't make a play behind you when you are struggling. I didn't see the play, so just wondering how bad of an error it was.

[Willets Point]

I hate it when my favorite pitcher sucks. Granted I didn't like it when someone like Tom Glavine sucked for the Mets but at least I could be angry with him.

[Centerfield]

This is the problem with Perez. He's going to turn in a start like this every now and then.

[metirish]

7 - 0 in the 3rd , yikes.

It was a Little League error. He took his eye off the ball before it was in his glove.

[Guest AG/DC]

Gorzelanny has a mid-eighties fastball. It's got some movement, but that hasn't mattered much this seaason so far.

[Frayed Knot]

Gorzelanny is also the one who came into the game with a walk-an-inning habit, or about double what Perez had been doing.
