Billy, WTF?!!?

Can someone please tell me what the fuck is wrong with Billy Wagner? He was the best closer in baseball a month ago, now he can't hold up a two run lead today and a three run lead yesterday.

Billy called out other guys a month ago for not pulling their weight. Well, I think somebody needs to call Billy out now.

This team is pathetic. It sickens me to watch but I can't look away.

Pedro's Back

I know I haven't written as much here as I planned to. I'm sorry for that. Basically, its because there's been increasingly less things to love about the Mets. They went through a stretch where they were god awful. Now they're in a run where they're playing fairly well. A horrible outing by Oliver Perez on Monday notwithstanding, the Amazins are started to look like a contender again. There's still a long way to go, but at least they're back on the right track.

A keep piece to getting back on that track may have come home tonight. Pedro Martinez pitched very well considering its his first game back from injury, only his second start of the season, and his father's deteriorating health. Willie probably left Pedro out there an inning too long, but he escaped unscathed. Pedro's pitches had great movement. He really seemed to be hitting his spots overall. He seemed confident and healthy. These are all excellent signs.

I am currently taking bets though as to whether or not he suffers another injury by the All Star Break.
