Note: Ollie On 3 Days, Pedro Monday Starter
By Mike Nichols - Sep 27, 2008 5:44 pm

Oliver Perez will start tomorrow’s game versus the Marlins. As Johan Santana did today, Perez will be pitching on three-days rest for the second time in his career.

Perez made his last start on three-days rest on September 18, 2005 versus the Reds, allowing five runs, four earned, on five hits and five walks over 2.2 IP.

Meanwhile, following today’s win versus the Marlins, Jerry Manuel told reporters Pedro Martinez is the scheduled starter for Monday, if the Mets need to play a one-game playoff to win the Wild Card.

…pedro would be pitching on three days rest, but I would imagine Monday would be a ‘all hands on deck’ scenario…

    Love that Lilly is pitching a no-no and Lou can’t go to the bullpen.

    I know he wants to give Marmol and Wood one more outing so that could very well be tomorrow if Lilly goes two more innings.

    CC on 3 days for the third time against all the righties on the Cubs resting today (Ram, Soto, Lee, Sori all expected to play)… What a celebration it can be tomorrow!

    I don’t want a Monday game.

  3. TugTheMan says:

    Johan needs to sit Ollie down, slap across the head and tell this kid that this is most likely the biggest game he will ever pitch and man up. Johan has shown today is the leader and now with Ollie Johan needs to be the mentor.

    • Johan The Ace says:

      Uh, it does not matter what OP does tomorrow, it still will be 2nd biggest to game 7

    • mrosey says:

      No. SCOTT BORAS needs to sit his client down, slap him across the face and tell this kid that this is the biggest game he will ever pitch and if he doesnt get it done we will run him out of this town faster than we did Tom Glavine. Everything’s different with money on the line.

    last year the mets won the saturday game.. then they put the tom glavine a free agent after that year in and he was ran out of town after… Perez is a free agent after this season and pitching tom…. I hope history doesnt repeat

  5. Johan The Ace says:

    Nts 2nd and 3rd no out

  6. dancran says:

    Jason Marquis is in relief in the 8th. Who exactly do the Cubs plan on starting tomorrow? Marquis was supposed to start so I have no idea who will start now.

  7. metsfan42793 says:

    WOW MARQUIS YOU STINK. YOU WOULD BE PERFECT IN THE METS BULLPEN

  8. Dafatone80 says:

    This isn’t helping my seething hatred of Jason Marquis.

  9. Andrew says:

    If the Cubs p*ss this game away, we are boned. Come on DP!

    Although I think we’re probably boned starting Ollie tomorrow. On the bright side (and also the dark side), I remember the last big game I was at that Ollie started…

    … Game 7.

  10. KingWright says:

    HE DROPPED THE BALL.

    Oh my God, we root for the Cubs and they turn into the Mets.

  11. techwonV27 says:

    This is just insane…. Season on the line for the METS…. LETS GO CUBBIES…

  12. Hit The Weights Zeile says:

    wow take a worse angle to that pop up please.

  13. Big Gator says:

  15. Andrew says:

    FUKODOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  16. dcmetsfan says:

    This is quite the possibly the most important inning of the Mets season. No way CC loses tomorrow.

    And as I type this, 2-run homer Fukudome. YESSS!!!!

  17. shea jones says:

    FUKUDOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  18. Philnym31 says:

    FUKUDOMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

  19. techwonV27 says:

    FUKUDOME SAN I LOVE YOU BROTHER>… HAHAHA METS HAVE CONTROL THEIR DESTINY…….

  20. dcmetsfan says:

    And wow, could Lidge blow his first save here?

  21. shea jones says:

    Gnats making a bid for it.

  22. techwonV27 says:

    rYAN ZIMMERMAN IS A FN BUUUUUUUUMMMMM….

  23. Nate W. says:

    thank you Cubbies, thank you Fukudome!!

  24. dancran says:

    Lidge plays with fire so much. He is going to blow a big save in the playoffs. He can’t possibly escape these james every single time without it exploding in his face eventually.

    • Dafatone80 says:

      All season, I’ve been saying “he’s going to blow a really big one at the end.”

      So close.

  25. techwonV27 says:

    Ryan Zimmerman could not hold David Wright’s Jock Strap if his life depended on it……..

  26. MainStMets23 says:

    phils win, wc or bust baby!!!

  27. dulcetpine says:

    lets hope the cubbies can hold, i am not holding my breath…

    • Nate W. says:

      Its a three run lead, going on more. This game is over.
      Good teams like the Cubs dont blow three run leads.

  28. techwonV27 says:

    EVEN if the Mets get in they will get the Cubs in the first round… Cubs are really good but in a short series anything is possible… Especially when we have a STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD JOHAN SANTANA POSSIBILY PITCHING 2 GAMES IN THE SERIES….. LETS take care of biz tomorrow, get into the playoffs and beat the hell out of the PHILTHIES>>>>>>> LETS GO METSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS……..

    • dulcetpine says:

      gotta get there first…

    • Nate W. says:

      Only problem in your scenario is that they would have to get to game five for Santana to pitch the second time.

      Just one of the advantages the Mets cost themselves with this slide is that Santana cant pitch games one and four. Game four being the one on short rest. They will likely have to use four starters instead of three, no one else should pitch on short rest, imo.

      At least they regained a chance to even have that problem.

  29. techwonV27 says:

    ITS ALL UP TO BIG GAME OLLIE TOMORROW… IF HE COMES UP BIG I HAVE CONFIDENCE THE CUBS BEATING THE BREWERS…. CUBS ARE FRIGGIN GOOD THOUGH… BUT LIKE I SAID IN A SHORT SERIES ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE… ESPECIALLY WITH BIG PELF GOING GAME ONE AND THEN OUR BIG STUD SANTANA GOING GAME 2……. DODGERS ARE PRETTY GOOD TOO AND THE PHILTHIES HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL… I CAN PICTURE PLANET MANRAM HITTING LIKE HE IS INSANE… GET IN AND ROLL THE DICE BABY……. LETS GO METS…………….

  30. techwonV27 says:

    By the way who’s schedueled to pitch for the cubs and the brewers tomorrow?????

  31. techwonV27 says:

    If the METS get in the playoffs and Ryan Church gets hot and has a big playoff run I will not mention him again as a scrub… lol……..

  32. techwonV27 says:

    Cubs have a powerful and deep lineup… Their Starting pitching is really good and Marmol and Wood in the bullpen are just ridiculously nasty……. If the METS played the Cubbies Mets will have their hands full ,but then again stranger things have happened in the playoffs…. LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  33. techwonV27 says:

    MARMOL AND WOOD IS SO NASTY KIND OF REMINDS ME OFF RIVERA AND WETTELAN FOR THE SPANKS IN 96…..

  34. techwonV27 says:

    AND THE CUBBIES THE CUBBIES WIN BABY… METS CONTROL THEIR DESTINY… LETS SEE IF THE GANGSTERS OR THE LADIES SHOW UP FOR THE METS TOMORROW….
