Quote: Pick Each Other Up
In the ninth inning, with the Mets up 10-7, Billy Wagner let up two runs on two hits, but rebounded to get Jayson Werth to fly out to right field to notch his 20th save of the season.
Wagner, on the team’s play in Philadelphia:
“We were picking each other up. I think that’s how we have to approach this season, picking each other up, and continue to play like that. I mean, Jose Reyes, he hit a routine ball to second base and he almost beat it out. That’s how we have to play. We have to beat teams to where, when they’re done playing us, they’re tired, they’re exhausted.”
…the ninth inning of last’s night game made me sick to my stomach, between wags’s inexcusable walk to Eric Brunlett and Carlos Beltran‘s ill advised throw to third, the Mets did everything possible to let this game get away, but they got the win and that’s all that matters…
Over at his blog for Newsday, Ken Davidoff wonders if the Mets have replaced Wagner with Armando Benitez.
