Will the Real Oliver Perez Please Stand Up?

omnomnom

It's been said that Oliver Perez is eratic. That you never know which Ollie is going to show up to the ball park the night he's pitching: Good Ollie or fucking awful Ollie. Last night he pitched a gem of a game in which he allowed only 3 hits to a stacked Yankees lineup. His start before that we lost 11 - 0 to the worst team in the Majors. That's been his stigma since he was a young kid on the Pirates. Oliver was nice enough to sit down with me to try and clear the air. What follows is the actual transcription of the interview.

Pemulis: Hi Oliver, nice of you to sit with me.

Oliver Perez: Thang ju mang, eets gootu bee heer. I'm glat tu be hable to comb heer and cleer thee air.

P: Well that's great Ollie. What would you say to these critics who say your performance has been eratic at best - was last night's Oliver Perez the real one?
