The Mets Police

So, as snarky as I can be, I hate piling on the truly negative stuff.  I chose to completely ignore Shamsky, and I'm on the fence about the Dykstra thing.  You can click the link if you'd like to read about some bad racist terms attrubuted to Lenny.   http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/03/16/2009-03-16_lenny_dykstra_formerly_of_the_mets_is_na.html

Also they say there were only 9 people on line for tickets at C-Field (once again I almost typed Shea).  Not a big deal, everyone just jumps online these days.

The story that should be bugging everyone this morning is that Oliver Perez threw 85 pitches the other night in the WBC.  I feel bad that i missed this yesterday, but I don't wacth fake international tournaments.   So when I read this article in the Post this morning  I wanted to punch someone.(http://www.nypost.com/seven/03172009/sports/mets/world_of_worry_surrounds_mets_159913.htm) 

85 pitches on March 15th?  Before you tell me to calm down, how about this one?

USA Today reported last week that its own study showed nearly four of every five pitchers in the 2006 WBC recorded a higher ERA that season than the previous year. Even more ominously: More than one in three WBC pitching veterans spent time on the disabled list in '06, including 14 who landed on it in April and May

I also didn't freak out about K-Rod's four inning save....but now there has been a second four out save.

Omar should get on the phone, bring his players home (Ollie is on his way, eliminated), and let Selig bitch all he wants.   Let ESPN call the Mets names.   Let bloggers complain.   I'd rather all that than have a Met on the DL for no reason.
