Oliver Perez.....

Day! In an ongoing effort to make Mets fans everywhere forget about how bad things are, I believe team management needs to take the bull by the horns, in the form of an Oliver Perez Day. After reading and hearing about the alleged fallout between Ollie and several teammates, as reported by various media outlets, the Mets could kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand Mets fans can come out to Citi Field and celebrate the man himself and in the process, this celebration can hopefully foster team unity. Marketing genius GM Omar Minaya can whip up a plan on the fly- starting with Perez jerseys for everyone in attendance. In between innings they can have Dog Races on the big screen where each winner will be wearing the Oliver Perez jersey. Concession stands can sell Ollie Dogs and during the seventh inning stretch they can shoot Ollie Dogs into the stands (complete w/bun wrapped in alluminum foil). In addition, Mets creative marketing can litter the stadium with Ollie Dollars in the form of faux $60 million dollar bills.

For tonight's game in the NHL Stanley Cup I dialed up Dream for some expert analysis. After a two month Hiatus, Dream has got a bad case of the shakes. Despite knowing the potential landmine, I took the Blackhawks -1.5 goals on Monday and proceeded to experience the mother of all prison rapings, in the form of a missed empty net goal that hit the post. Guess who had the other side of that goal line? That's right and as Dream is fond of saying "stupid is....as stupid does". In fact, Dream's convinced that he only won that bet because yours truly was on the other side. Tonight Dream expects Philly to bounce back in convincing fashion. This team is mentally tough and could have won both games on the road. Dream expects a ton of hitting, penalities,etc. and forecasts the Flyers pulling away at the end. Tonight's play.......Flyers -122 over the Blackhawks.
