This is less fun

I guess more than one consecutive week of good news is too much to ask for. After sending Jorge Sosa to the DL over the weekend, the Mets' starting rotation has been dealt another blow. The sore back which kept Oliver Perez from starting as scheduled on Sunday will shut him down for fifteen days. Jason Vargas will take his spot on the roster and start Tuesday's game in Colorado. Perez's injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but given the way this year has gone, who can say for sure? On that subject, Metsblog is reporting that Moises Alou should be back in about two weeks, but I will believe that when I see it. As far as I can tell, Lastings Milledge followed Ozzie Smith into the Springfield Mystery Spot.  ¶ joe | 8:34 PM |
