Guinness and Others on Suicide Watch

Just kiding folks. But you'd have to wonder about it going into the series with Philly and the news that Billy Wagner's arm is fine. In case you haven't heard, there is nothing really wrong with Billy's shoulder. He just has been experiencing spasms the last few days. He's listed as day to day. that means if the game is on the line, "Enter the Sandman" will be blasting from the Shea Stadium Speakers. Judging by the comments posted on various blogs and Newspapers' web pages, there must have been great cheering when Billy was scheduled for an MRI. Guinness and others want him traded or worse. There was even chatter about wanting to bring Benitez back to close games. I don't know why Guinness and others are so down on Billy. A lifetime BA of under .200 and 350+ saves should have people glad to have Wagner in the Orange and Blue. The are very few closer in the game better than Billy. But, somehow I bet all the Billy haters wouldn't be happy unless Wagner struck out every batter faced all year long, or had to have his arm amputated.
