-P- Shawn Chacon is an excuse-maker. Also, Neil Walker is going berzerk for Lynchburg.

-P- Pat, Billy and I share our opinions about Oliver Perez with metsdaily.com. Our reports, which were solicited seperately via email, all look pretty similar, actually.

-P- Ken Rosenthal says we're losers.

So much for the talk that Pirates GM Dave Littlefield was too unrealistic in his asking prices to complete a deal. Littlefield made four trades on Monday. Two of them, unfortunately, were horrible.

None of Littlefield's veterans was anything more than a complementary part, but there's simply no way to defend trading outfielder Craig Wilson to the Yankees for right-hander Shawn Chacon.

Ollie Perez

Charlie: Good write-ups by you, Pat and Billy on metsdaily.com.

Over at Amazin' Avenue, Mets fans seem to be pretty excited about Ollie and nonplussed about losing Xavier Nady. here's what one fan had to say about the X-man:

"Nady is a very average and flawed player. He hits for power, but his contact skills are wanting, he doesn't walk very much, he doesn't field well, he doesn't run well, and he has trouble against righties. A year or two from now, nobody's likely to be saying, "I sure do miss Xavier Nady."

Ouch.
