willy B. wagner says;

will wagner hates the fairy mets. he has done the equivolent of coming to work and saying F U boss 3 times this offseason. “How about I shove a hot dog up your — and also you suck — ha we suck — pay me. loduca and millege are everything. oh and play that sandman song for me, seems to work for the dude across town and saves me time finding a song.” — “Oh and PS i live on farm far away from you Yankees. Once this is over I’m back to the farm and you clowns can keep your crap team.” “Third place Yankee Mets.” “Clowns.” “Ha.”

i also agree with the third posting and the ninth. all of them are seemingly very true — but not the fifth.

I have said for two years now, I hate billy Fing wagner. He is a neg influence on our team. He says only neg things, has he ever come through for us? anyone remember when things were on the ropes and Wagner came in and saved the day? I would love to hear a good story… I cant remember any. He is a bum and a large part of why we had a historical collapse last year. I hope he blows saves early in the year so we give the ball to duaner or pelfrey in the closer role… maybe trade for nathan

Love his honesty. I’d love, even more, if he had ONE major example of consistent BIG GAME saves.

More WINNING (like Papelbon or Rivera) and LESS TALKING, please. This team is full of TALKERS with VERY few PROVEN WINNERS. Think that had an impact last year, when they talked a big game about how they were fine…but did not know HOW to overcome their collapse?

It’s not a coincidence…

I just heard the billy wagner comment on mets hot stove. He said the Mets were third bascially because he is still frustrated how the team fell apart last year. He thinks the Mets can win the division, but he knows that they can not let up this year and play all 162 games with out taking anything for granted. The Mets do not need Santana to win either. I understand the Mets are only giving up prospects, but the prospects they have been rumored to trade all good players. Mulvey is a pitcher that keeps the ball down and has 4 solid pitches already, he is going to be a 2nd or 3rd rotation starter. Guerra has a great fastball and a great change up, if he develops one more pitch he can help the Mets in the bullpen or fight for a spot in the rotation in as soon as 09′. Gomez we all know is a speedy outfielder with great defense and when he fills out will be a 20 hr a year hitter. I think he will be a step below Carl Crawford but a very similiar player. Imagine a defensive outfield of Beltran, Gomez and Martinez in 09′. One thing you have to remember is defense and pitching wins all the time, look at the 69 mets, they did it pitching and defense. If the Mets deal the four prospects of Mulvey, Gomez, Guerra and Humber, they will be depleted in their minor league system and will have way too much money tied to one player. Santana wants 25 million a year, a 6 year 150 contract. I understand he is an awesome pitcher but his best years are behind him. If they spend all their money on Santana we will not have enough money to resign perez, or go after Sabathia or Texitera next offseason. I think if we get Santana we will have a good chance of winning a world series, but if we do not we will have a good chance of starting a dynasty with the young prospects and veterens. Look at the late 90′s N Y Yankees they did it with Jeter, Pasada, Rivera, Pettite, imagine if they traded them for one great player, they would not of won a ws title yet. To me watching prospects develop is alot more exciting then a 29 year old cy young award winner who wants 25 million a year. Look at the Rockies of last year, or the Marlins of 97′ or 03′. Lets go Mets!!!

“The bigger the game, the smaller the Wagner” — my motto.

Congrats to Billy Wagner for speaking his mind……again. Although I agree with the comment, to an extent (if the Mets land Johan, then things change quite a bit headed into ’08 camp) — you don’t say this publicly.

It just reeks of a guy who says things for the sake of saying it. I haven’t seen the interview — but if he publicly acknowledged himself and has come to the realization that he’s part of the problem the last few years…….I fully support his commentary.

Until then, just shut up and show up when it matters, Bill. The act’s getting old……with every organization you represent.

It’d be refreshing to see this “3rd best” team step it up and play some ball this season. I hope Willie actually challenges them in 2008…..as it wasn’t done the entire way in 2007.

“Who care about winning?”

Certainly NOT the Mets, as they showed last season….
