Quote: Battle and Win

After last night’s extra inning win over the Phillies, Billy Wagner tried to look ahead, saying:

“We’ve had to grind it out and battle and win and we’ve found ways to do it, and we’ve got to be excited to come in here Monday and try to really make this a good road trip.”

David Wright, on the game:

“It’s a win. There’s only so many of these stepping stones, we’ve got to put it together and play a few good games here before the All-Star game. But, we’ll take it, it’s a win.”

Manager Jerry Manuel on how the team played:

“They were resilient today…It’s very large for us. Hopefully, this will be a springboard for us to take off. Monday is another big game for us.”

…i think it’s safe to say that every game is a big one from here on out…the mets have surely had to battle so far in this series, and hopefully they can close the series out on a high note tonight…
