Congrats to both.

I guess I'm not voting enough to argue, but the system is some'at flawed if Billy Wagner is the 14th best Met in July.

9 G, 9 IP, 8 SVO, 8 SV, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 7 SO, 0.00 ERA.

The cards are gorgeous.

Billy Wagner: Doing everything he's called on to do and doing it extraordinarily well.

But he's not called on that often. And he's only called on to do it for a few minutes at a time.

Saves have gotten him the big bucks. Saves don't seem to be getting him Schaefer points. I think he'll accept the tradeoff.

(Life without 2007 Billy Wagner, however, would be...like a lot of years. Let's at least send a round of Black Label to his table.)

Congrats to Wright and Maine,nice work Yancy.

I tend to agree with G-Fafif that Nightcrawler would gladly take the big bucks over the suds.

You should have been paying attention last year when Val was giving out nick names.
