Thanks to the heroics of Billy Wagner, the D-Backs were able to snatch victory from the Mets this afternoon, 5-4. It was the third consecutive blown save for Wagner, including last night's which absolutely sucked the joy out of the eventual victory and Mike Pelfrey's surprisingly dominant performance, and third in four days, and had the bullpen not imploded on Monday, he probably would've handed that one over too.
For someone who routinely runs his piehole like Billy does, you better do your damn job, especially when your team absolutely needs a win as the Mets have these past few weeks. Now closers have bad nights, even Mariano Rivera and K-Rod have days where they're not in control, but to go 3 of 4 with 2 and 3 run leads is inexcusable.
Billy honestly has got to step up and know that we've just got two outstanding efforts from our starters. He can't come in and come out there and decide that he doesn't have it today, and so be it.
Sound familiar, Wags? In the words of the great Floyd Mayweather Jr., STEP YA GAME UP!
Oh well, it's not as if the Mets are facing a team that's crushing everything this weekend. What's that you say? Damn.
ahhhhhhhhhhh, much better.
And I leave you with a priceless Brett Myers rant from last year that never ceases to entertain.
