Well, it's Super Bowl Sunday and no word from the Mets on the OP signing.
I haven't talked to anyone this weekend, so all I can say is I stand by my source and I reported what I was told.
I still assume Oliver Perez will wear a Mets uniform this year, and things obviously still haven't been put to stone. Shit happens. I'm sure OP is getting plenty of phone calls from friends on the team, and I'm equally sure he has called his agent, but agents do only one thing... they make the most money they can for their clients... and themselves.
Pitchers like Randy Wolf are way down the priority list and, believe me, the first and only thing the Mets are working on right now in Oliver.
I await your opinions (especially the pond scum over on NYSD).

Mack,
ReplyDeleteFrom one disabled vet to another, just keep up the good work.
So what if what you heard didn't work out....this is not a science.
I still think Ollie signs with the Mets, and it might happen tomorrow or next week.
Thanks Dave.
ReplyDeleteMy source was a deep one, so I still assume this deal will get done, maybe even by today, but I wanted to beat the nay-sayers before they come after me :)
Welcome home!
Mack
I'm late to this site, but I really like the way you write.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add a link here on my blogroll at http://nysportsdog.blogspot.com
Let me know if that's OK and I'll do it.
That's Great.
ReplyDeleteI just added yours.
Check my blog out now... got your pic and survey on it... it will also be on www.sportspyder.com
Mack
Nice....thanks.
ReplyDeleteCool fact about that pic...I was standing in North Korea when it was taken.
Also, we weren't supposed to make any gestures or anything to the North Korean guards (the guy to my left is South Korean--good guy); anyway, I flashed a Peace Sign to the North Koreans and they grimaced at me and started mumbling obscenities in Korean (which I speak)...too funny.
Every time someone starts mumbling obscenities to me, I'm usually receiving a comment from somebody over at Mofo.
ReplyDeleteMack, you are like the high school kid who can't get over his first girlfriend after she finds out that he's a psychopath and dumps him. Remember Mack, all the venom you spew towards the mofo stems from the fact that you could not handle criticism, in any form, while there. Not to mention the fact, yes FACT, that you were given an opportunity by Joe and you spit in his face with your actions upon leaving.
ReplyDeleteRot in hell you phony.
Hey Chuck, long time. How are you and your family?
ReplyDeleteJoe is great guy. Paid me well while I was associated with him and he always treated me like a gentleman.
In fact, I got an email from him last week, asking me to rejoin him.
Say hello to him please.
God Bless.
Mack
What's all the drama?
ReplyDeleteI missed the memo.
No big deal, Dave.
ReplyDeleteChuck hangs out on a Mets thread site which is pretty rough and tumble.
I used to write for them and had some permanent memory loss after a brain swelling incident... some of them over there like to attack people personally, and I overracted a few times... eventually, I quit the site and moved on...
The owner, Joe McDonald, is a heads up guy who always paid me well for revenue sharing...
