"It's not easy, I'm not saying that," Wagner said, "but when you get that kind of pitching before the closer comes in, his job is different. It's only one run, but they've got no momentum. They've already been deterred."

The Mets didn't have much of a deterrent in the seventh and eighth innings last season.

"I'd face a team that just scored two or three the previous inning," Wagner said. "They were hot. That's why when Aaron [Heilman] and Duaner [Sanchez] were so good in 2006, my job was so much easier. [The opposing hitters] would come up in the ninth all aggressive, trying to make something happen. That's an advantage for the pitcher.

"The guys in the seventh and eighth can dictate where the game is going. And if that's what they've got with those three, they oughta be in good shape."

I would love to see Wagner pitching some meaningful innings for the Mets this season.

[Geowhizzer]

What is the timeline for Wagner's recovery?   Is he possibly going to pitch this year, or is he done until next season?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hopefully, he comes back to farg the clubhouse up in September.
