Ugggh....wtf was that? I really wanted to see Duke completely flip out and drop some ninja kicks or wail on a guitar or kill some pirates or something and get tossed. That would have at least made watching last night's debacle worth it.

missed the last game...looking at the stats, it seems i lucked out...7 walks in 2 2/3 IP??...yea, that'll get it done...

Also fun to be sitting in 30 degree weather while your pitcher walks the ballpark.

But Ollie's performance nonwithstanding, we only got 2 runs and failed to get more when we could.

On the bright side, Joe Smith looked good and maybe 2007 Aaron Sele = 2006 Darren Oliver.

Yeah, I was a little worried when the season started about the bullpen but they've been solid:

IP: 24.1
H: 19
BB: 11
ER: 7
K: 17
ERA: 2.62
WHIP: 1.24

In other news it looks like Milledge is headed to New Orleans after tonight, not too surprising since Green has been pretty good at the plate so far. I'll take the extra arm in the bullpen for now and let Milledge get some AB's.

You mean a really good long reliever that will be better than half the bums we trot out there in the 4 and 5 spots in August but will never get a start himself ever because we 'need' him in long relief role when we are down 8-0 in the 1st to give us 7 strong innings and keep us in the game when in actuality he coulda given us the same 7 strong innings by starting the game himself and not falling ridiculously behind in the process?

lol, sorry still angry about how Oliver was used.

Bob,

Every Mets fan I know is a bitter person, but you take it to another level. Ha.

[JordanIB]

I disagree Bob. Obviously, it's conjecture, but if Darren Oliver was part of the rotation last year, I think there's a good possibility he gets overexposed.

Plus, after demonstrating his early success, he probably would have had difficulty stretching to be more than a 5 inning starter. This puts further pressure on an already overtaxed bullpen, pressure which he was relieving in a very valuable role out of the pen.

Um....???
