Ollie

This gamethread is going to have to be short because I just got back from the eye doctor's and my pupils are the size of dinner plates and I can barely read what I'm typing in front of me. Oliver Perez makes his first start against the Pirates since we unceremoniously shipped him off to New York almost a year ago (at least I'm pretty sure this is his first start against us). He's had the expected career resurgence this year and is again one of the better lefties in the NL. We can't hit worth crap, so he's probably feeling pretty confident. He's facing off against Paul Maholm, but Maholm could be Sandy Koufax and I would assume the Mets would still score enough runs to win this one.
