Attn: Omar

I'm sure most of you all saw the blown save by Billy Wagner on Saturday against his old team, the Houston Astros. Given a 2 run lead "Hilbilly" promptly gave up 2 runs and the game was tied up at 4 and wunderkind Aaron Heilman gave up the winning run in the next inning. Wunderbar!


I was also watching the Yankees vs. Angels the night before and watched Francisco Rodriguez make A-Rod completely stupid (which isn't hard to do in a clutch situation) on a changeup. He got the save, you think Wagner would have gotten that save? Hell's no.

What I am telling Omar to do is this. Sign K-Rod.
Yes that's right, he is a free agent after this year and is only 26 years old and will be 27 in January.

You have to sign this guy, give him whatever he wants. He is on pace for 66 saves this year and has been pretty unhittable this year. If Billy Wagner says that he is a team player he would welcome the move because it makes the team better. Wagner in the 8th, Rodriguez in the 9th. You shorten the game to 7 innings too, now we all know Wagner's ego would take a shot in the arm and his overopinated ass would probably mouth off to the many newspapers of New York City. You know what I'd say to him if I were Minaya?

"Tough shit, you didn't get the job done when the team needed it most." Which is 100 percent true, it always seems Wagner's blown saves are always in big situations and when the team always needs a win. I've said it before and I will say it again this year, Wagner has never had a big save in his career as an Astro, Phillie or Met, NEVER and I'm sure he never will.


I want to see this man closing out games in Citi Field next year.
