Note: Wagner’s Blown Save

by Regis Courtemanche on July 7th, 2008 at 8:30 am

In the ninth inning, with the Mets up 2–0, Billy Wagner let up a single to Shane Victorino and with two outs and two strikes on Jayson Werth, he hung a slider that Werth hit for a home run to tie the game.

Wagner then rebounded to retire Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins to force the game in to extra innings.

Wagner, on the blown save:

“That’s going to happen. I’d like to have bounced that slider, but I hung it and Jayson hit it. But, we came back and won it, the guys did great, they picked me up and we won and that’s fantastic.”

…true, a win’s a win, but i was watchin this game while on vacation and it brought back all of  the stress i had worked so hard to remove…
