Willie Billy I hate Philly!

11. July 2008 by gchacko.

This article has nothing to do with Philly…just making a random statement… but I think this team is finally coming together!

Prior to yesterday’s game, Billy Wagner told reporters{regarding Manuel} :

“He can be your friend, but he’s also the boss. You don’t got to like him, but you’ve got to respect him. That’s exactly how I think we look at it.”

Speaking of Wagner, in his recent Rumblings & Grumblings column for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark quotes him as saying:

“I don’t want to bash Willie, because I liked him. But before, it was more of The Yankee Way. It wasn’t The Mets Way. There was no facial hair. You could never have music in the clubhouse. You couldn’t have kids around. Believe it or not, some of us in here actually like kids…We’ve found out it’s pretty easy to play when you stop playing for stats and just go out and play hard and play to have fun.”

Following yesterday’s game, David Wright told reporters:

“We’re getting that attitude back, that swagger, that confidence back that we haven’t had all year.”

*As long as the W’s keep coming and we make that post season again….
