His first start was one to remember. Through 4 innings he has a no hitter and his fast ball is looking good. But he's thrown a lot of pitches so I am wondering if Willie would keep him in late in the game if he still has the no-no going. Well the wheels fell off in the 5th inning and after 5 innings he had given up 2 hits but 5 runs since he throws a lot of balls. Gary Cohen compared him to Scott Kazmir saying 2 years ago you would not have been able to trade Kazmir straight up for Perez. So despite his hard times in Pittsburgh, the guy has potential. Unfortunately with his wildness, he reminds me more of... Victor Zambrano. Hopefully Rick Peterson can use the 10 minutes he wasted on Zambrano to get Perez straightened out.

This guy's saving grace is (1) he's a lefty, (2) overall starting pitching in the majors is probably the worst it's ever been in the history of the game, (3) he's got good stuff, and (4) he actually had a very good year only a few seasons ago. Hopefully, Peterson can figure out what's wrong and correct the problem during the offseason. Otherwise, Perez may turn out to be the next Glendon Rusch.

Whoa, hold on. One start a season does not maketh. However, Peterson may have turned this kid around. If so, he reminds me so much of a pudgy lefty from the 50th state who had no hit stuff and a decent run in NY.

You got to like what we saw in October and throughout the spring but let's not hand him the Cy Young award just yet.

When I went to see the Mets play the Braves on 21 April, watching Oliver Perez's mound antics reminded me of Bugs Bunny. I was expecting him to announce to the crowd, "I think I'll perplex 'em with my slowball" and go into that wild windup that Bugs did in that cartoon. When he is on, Perez is a lot of fun to see!

I kind of think of him as being a more-capable version of Victor Zambrano. He'll stay out of trouble when he stays in the strike zone and when he stays confident. He's had one truly-bad start so far this season, and that was the game where the three runs he gave up came on one hit, seven walks and a hit batter. Like Zambrano, he seems to break down whenever he gets into a jam, and the harder he tries, the worse he gets. If he just stays in the strike zone consistently, I think he'll have a pretty good year.

The way he jumps over the foul line to and from the dugout is absolutely the goofiest thing I have ever seen. I laugh every time I see him do it, except for the time he got pulled after 2 and 2/3 innings after he gave up 7 walks. That time it just pissed me off.

Oliver Perez is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get; one game he is brilliant, the next game he is brutal.

Another terrible performance by Perez last night. 1/3 of an inning, 6 earned runs! Hope Scott Boras can get you a great contract next year buddy. Don't worry about pitching in Citi Field next year, goodby.

Would Love to meet Oliver Perez one day. Would be great to speak to him about his life and similarities.

He's terrible and refuses to go to Buffalo to get back what he at least one season had, a decent pitching performance. Omar and Wilpons, cut bait with this bum. Another Omar mistake. I'm sure no one will take his salary and if some other stupid GM does, then bless them.

This guy turned into the biggest disaster of all time. I was actually for the Mets signing him to that 3 year deal because he was pretty good in the past. I know he was hot and cold but I thought he was more good than bad, especially against good teams like the Yankees and the Phillies. But boy did it turn out to be a disaster!!!

And the selfish prick robbed money from the Mets without even trying to be a team player and get better. He robbed us of a roster spot when it was clear he couldn't pitch. He should have taken the demotion, like Steve Traschel did a few years ago, go down straighten it out and come back better. But he had to be selfish, and for his efforts pitched in only 5 games during the second half of the year and I think he gave up at least one run each time.

He was hurt in 2009, not his fault, but he sucked ass in 2010 and the Mets HAVE to eat that money in 2011 and just move on. Bad move, admit it, move on.

This guy will go down as an all time bad Met because of his selfishness. He could have been just a guy who lost it, but instead he's a selfish jerk who doesn't deserve to wear the blue and orange!!!

How fitting that this bum closed out this disastrous season on the mound. In typical Ollie fashion to boot, walking three and a hitting another to lose the game. Let's sever ties with this mutt and just eat the rest of his contract. That way he can just go back to Mexico, bloat to 300 pounds and become a distant, bad memory as soon as possible.

Well.... they didn't call him "All-Over" Perez for nothing.

Good riddance.

The most hated Met of all time. Not even Bobby Boo could compare to how much of a disgrace Oliver Perez was to the Mets franchise. After 2008, his stuff completely disappeared into who knows where. He had no command in 2009 and 2010 at all. He became a walk machine and how he dealt with the minor league demotion thing was beyond ridiculous. Here's a guy that cared a lot more about himself than the team he played for. He was as selfish as it got and now he will find a very hard time to ever get back into a major league team. I honestly predict he will never throw another pitch in a major league game ever again. But if he does, whichever team puts him in will instantly become the biggest laughingstock in baseball. Ugh why did Duaner Sanchez have to get a taxi driven by a drunk driver in 06... if that accident didn't happen, Ollie would have never been a Met and maybe the Mets could have done better within the past five years.

Ollie is back in the majors! Mop-up man (for now) for the Seattle Mariners.
