Picking up where he left off in the 2006 playoffs, Oliver Perez started off his 2007 season shutting down the Atlanta Braves. Of course, 11 runs of support from the Mets offense doesn’t hurt. Perez went seven strong innings, giving up five hits, zero walks, and striking out six. He also didn’t do too badly at the dish, scoring two runs with a base hit.

With Toronto fans getting ready for a taste of the playoffs, a delicacy not available in these parts for five years, I wish that only my fantasy hoops season had gone as well. It obviously wasn’t my year. But I digress. How do we keep the fantasy bug biting well into the Spring? Well, who says the fun and games have to stop at the end of the regular season? Perhaps you and your league-mates can consider setting up a playoff pool.
Here are some options and ideas on game play.
Of course, if you are still very much alive in the h2h playoffs, here again is the fantasy playoff weekly breakdown to help you out.
