Wagner Does His Part to Nudge Mets-Phillies Feud
Baseball July 29th. 2008, 4:15pm
Missed this Friday, but it’s still worth talking about: When closers trash talk.
.. Billy Wagner, who was asked after the Mets’ 3-1 victory if he was any more excited than normal to face Rollins as the tying run in the ninth inning.
“Not really,” Wagner replied. “I mean, it’s Jimmy Rollins, not Barry Bonds.”
Assuming Rollins – worth noting he was the NL MVP last season – isn’t benched when the Mets travel to Philly for a two-game set Aug. 26 and 27th, it should be fun. And perhaps we should add this: Rollins is 0-for-9 against Wagner in his career.

How is this noteworthy? Isn’t he just stating the obvious?

It’s worth noting Jimmy Rollins didn’t deserve the MVP last year, too.
/That’s how you start a feud

TBL should have put that in the Roundup.

Hmmm…where have I seen that story before?

Prickish, yet subtle. I like it.
July 29th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
/prickish is redundant with Nick
July 29th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
there is definitely a little prick involved.

You know who else isn’t Barry Bonds? Nick P.

Them’s fighting words, Hef. My head is at least as big as his.
July 29th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
NickP: I believe you only because I picture you are Mr. Red, just like Hef is Buster.
July 29th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I don’t think that was the head he was talking about, St. Bear.

I always liked when Wagner runs his mouth. It almost always translates into blown saves in big situations.
July 29th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
you should read what RWH thinks of Mr. Red. “very Bruce.”
July 29th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
There’s more testosterone in Mr. Redlegs moustache than in “Mr.” Met’s entire body.
