Enter Sandman?

The latest news on Billy Wagner is in and if all goes as planned, he should be back with the Mets Tuesday when they begin a two game series with the Nationals. Right now, the options for Wagner based on how he feels are to pitch for Class A, with the Brooklyn Cyclones to get ready. Or, the other option would be to throw a simulated inning as opposed to a simulated game, because he is a closer. A simulated game/inning is simply when a pitcher faces live batters and has a coach or teammate keep track of the count, outs, and decide whether or not a ball hit into play would be a hit or an out. If Wagner where to be able to get back to the Mets and pitch close to where he was prior to his trip to the DL, it would make the road to the playoffs much easier and stress free for all Mets fans. Although they have pitched well of late, the Mets bullpen cannot be trusted, and not to say Wagner hasn't ever blown games, but Billy Wagner is the best man the Mets can throw out of the pen. He is by far the most reliable, and even listening to Enter Sandman just makes fans feel more energized and secure. No other Mets pitcher can provide as much of an adrenaline boost like Billy Wagner. You know the Mets are in a good position to make the playoffs when they can blow multiple games late and still win consistently enough to maintain a large lead over the Phillies. Below is a video of Billy Wagner after he enters the game. Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of this for games and weeks to come. Enjoy.
