Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

The Mets just went through a week where they held a press conference to announce absolutely nothing and then took 2 out of 3 against the Marlins, followed by 3 out of 4 against the Dodgers. Beltran was hitting, hell even TATIS BULLSHIT got some key hits. Everything seemed to be clicking… and then Oliver Perez took the ball Monday night in San Francisco. Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” and that’s how I feel every 5th day when OP gets on the bump. It might be right away like last night but there is always that one inning where he totally self-destructs like the Predator. All that’s missing is the Billy laugh.
Tell me if you heard this before. The Mets are riding a wave of momentum only to have a lefty start the next game and get knocked out in the first, only getting one out. I guess I should be happy that Perez only gave up 6 to Glavine’s 7 but it’s a real kick in the balls either way. Pedro comes back tonight and while I don’t expect the Pedro of old, seeing his #45 out there always makes me feel better than OP’s #46.

What’s the over/under on games before Pedro’s arm falls off again?

You misspelled Wood.
Dick.

At least Wood has shown durability this year.
Solly said
Tell that to the Brewers.
Pun said
We’re not paying Wood $10 million a year.

Pedro brings a swagger to the team that no one else can. If he stays healthy, he’ll provide a HUGE lift to the morale of the team.

That’s not a swagger. That’s a bowlegged walk from getting fucked in the ass by the rest of the NL the last two weeks of last season. It still hasn’t worn off.

If he stays healthy, HA! Maybe Pedro Prior can be the new guy wearing the Mr. Met costume, because thats about all he is going to be worth anymore.
And last time I checked morale doesn’t equal runs. The players can be as happy as they want about Pedro coming back, but in the end, when they look down, they are still wearing a Mets uniform. And that has to suck.

Is Pedro’s presence gonna single handedly raise Beltran and Delgado’s averages 50 points? Does Pedro’s presence come with multiple fire extinguishers for that bullpen? Does Pedro’s presence come with dancing lesson for Reyes?
Solly said
Fuck y’all. I’m just saying he makes a difference… and Mikey, I’ll take the Mets pen over that Atlanta abortion any fucking day of the week.

Hey, at least our bullpen was SUPPOSED to suck.
