Why aren't the Cardinals killing Perez?

What the hell is going on ? Perez has been terrible this year but the Cardinals arent hitting him?

I agree; the Cards have to figure that this guy's ripe to be had and that this is their chance to put the Mets in huge trouble.

Seriously if the Cardinals can make the Mets go to the Pen they are so fucked. They are playing 5 games straight, the mets will have no pen tommorow. Its not just for this game but for the whole series. This is a must win for the Mets, the Cardinals sneak out a win its over for the Mets. I still wouldnt count the Cards out of this game.

I stated this in Kojak's thread last night...

A major problem all season with the Cardinals has been their severe struggles vs LH starters...

Glavine dominated them in Gm.1, then Darren Oliver shut them down for 6 innings in Gm.3...

So it was inevitable that this would happen tonight...even with a mediocre and erratic Oliver Perez...didn't matter because he is a lefty...

Hal McRae (hitting coach) sits on his thumbs and cannot help these guys solve LH starters...simply amazing.

Now with Glavine tomorrow...

And IF this goes 7 games...Randolph will probably start Darren Oliver over Trachsel.

LH starters own the 2006 Cardinals.
