Mets nation is quickly becoming Olliewood, as Oliver I Jump Over White Lines Perez pitched another brilliant game against the Braves, now making him 3-0 against the Mets rivals for the 2007 season. This once 3-13, 6.55 ERA hurler is now 6-3, tied for the NL lead in wins, and most notably has a 53:18 strike outs to walk ratio. If one removed the one bad game, the cold, rainy and windy Phillies game where he walked 7 and couldnt get out of the 3rd inning, he would have an amazing 5:1 ratio of strikeouts to walks. If it wasnt for Jake Pet Peavy, Ollie would make a good claim for the early NL Cy Young winner.
Other tidbits: David the Price is Wright is on fire. Four home runs in 4 games and 3 intentional walks in between. Perhaps he should never grow his hair back. Reyes continues to get on base. Joe Smith and Wagner continue to blow hitters away. And Delgado actually got a couple of hits in the 6 spot... perhaps all the pieces are falling into place in a first place 13 games above .500 team. Now all they have to do is keep the Empire State Building orange and blue for the rest of the season and post season.
And now for the OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS 20/20 update:
Disney World Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez is slated to return to the Mets rotation on Friday against the Marlins after having no problems in recent bullpen sessions. Unfortunately, ESPN decided not to cover every pitch of El Duque's rehab like they have for all of Clemens' "spring training" starts. Certainly trick shot pool or food eating competitions must be more interesting than this circus. At the very least, they should show I Aint Jimmy Kei Igawa's Single A starts. Mr. I Wear My Sunglasses at Night, the richest player in Single A, would be the closest thing to comedy on ESPN since Stuart Dread Scott.

Two of Wright's homeruns were against Mike I'm-Not-the-Comedian- Myers, so I wonder they count. His pitching performances are worthy of SNL, though.
