Billy Wagner!

The Mets closed the deal for Billy Wagner (who is NOT 40). I am writing this down, in a public forum (and capitalizing for emphasis), so that I won't be able to deny it later, or try to take it back, or somehow convince myself that this was all a caffeine induced hallucination of unrealized hope - The Mets Are Going All The Way, in 2006. There you go. I said it.

I know that I am a sucker. But, it's so hard not to fall for it. I know the Braves have been kicking their butts for ages... but it looks like things are really going to turn around. With Pedro, Beltran, Delgado, and now an excellent reliever. I am glad that the Mets are being aggressive this winter. If anything, shattered dreams or not, they are keeping things interesting.
