The Mets have announced that  LH SP Oliver Perez will have season ending surgery to correct patella tendon tendinosis in his right knee. This close his awful 2009 with a 3-4 record and 6.82 ERA as well as a historically  bad 1.92 WHIP. In a related note, th e Mets will host open tryouts for players Thursday at Citi-Field. Seriously, your 2009 New York Mets September rotation: Pat Misch, Tim Redding, Bobby Parnell, Nelson Figueroa and Mike Pelfrey!!!! No September collapse this year, folks!
