There is nothing scarier than Billy Wagner

Handed a four-run lead in the ninth, Billy Wagner gave up three singles to load the bases with one out before pitching coach Rick Peterson came out for a visit. Jeff Kent hit a sacrifice fly, and Wagner struck out Andre Ethier with runners at the corners to end it.

Why must we go through this every night? For once I'd like to turn the TV off in the 9th inning and go to bed secure in the knowledge that the Mets have a victory well in hand, but nooooooooo, Wagner just can't do that for them. It's as I read some guy say in another forum, the bullpen makes every team they play against look like the '27 Yankees. Can we get relievers that can take batters down 1-2-3 and not squander seven solid innings from the starter? If Omar Minaya doesn't shop for middle relievers and closers this offseason, there's going to be hell to pay.
