   This is funny stuff Tim. It’s hilarious that the Mets can’t beat a college team… all this trash talk that they’re throwing at us to try to make us give them more respect– I almost forgot that they’re still the biggest chokers in the history of baseball (literally).

   Lol, Billy Wagner’s future after baseball will be sitting on the porch with a shotgun yelling “Get off my lawn.” I can’t wait to go to the first two weekend series with the Mets.

   You guys are a joke. It wasn’t even a Spring Training game and the kid is bunting???? Be a man and swing away, When will this kid ever get another chance to get a legit hit off a major league pitcher? It’s a spot light moment in his life and the kid bunts? That is the exact reason he will never make the majors, he is scared of the spotlight. And while I am at it stop with the METS can’t beat a College team. They were playing mostly kids that will start the year at Double and Single A ball. Wagner was pitching because it was his day to work, so instead of pitching batting pratice they let him pitch to these kids. i can’t wait for the METS to show up in Philly and our new stud shuts you down. I hope you didn’t forget about Johan you miserable losers. Oh and by the way the GIANTS kicked your asssss too. BIOOOOTCHES

   Hey Mike, bunting is part of the game. Maybe the kid thought he could leg out a base hit, or maybe he was trying to move the runner over. Either way, Wagner has no right to get so mad at it. It’s not like someone’s running the catcher over on a play at the plate, or using the A-Rod Glove Slap Technique (TM) coming down the first base line.

   Are you seriously contending that bunting shouldn’t be allowed in spring training? What damage could a bunt possibly do to Wagner or the Mets? Absolutely none. Let the kid play the game.

   Just when I thought the Mets and their fans couldn’t possibly find another thing to whine about, here it is. A %#^@ing bunt during spring training. What a joke.

   And Wagner’s reaction? Typical hotheadedness from him (the type of attitude that has prevented him from becoming a true lights-out closer — the guy’s a headcase, and not in a good way). Go ahead, Billy, drill the next college student that steps in the batter’s box against you. Real mature.

   Last time i checked you were allowed to bunt in baseball.

   Mike, how can you say “be a man and swing away”!?!?! I can’t imagine anything scarier than squaring away to try to bunt against a major league pitcher – let alone Billy Wagner.

   If Billy Wagner can’t accept certain aspects of the game, like bunting, maybe its time to hang it up.

   Billy thinks he’s better than he is. The rat is “big timing” everyone. Billy needs to retreat back to the hills of SW Virginia…..drink his moonshine with his Juco buddies……and fade into the sunset. I predict he has the worst year of his career.

   The Mets could honestly say that he cost them the season last year. They are the ones that should hate him. I love the guy….he keeps throwing the ball in that one path that we have grown to know and love.

   I thought part of spring training was…you know…training. Aren’t the ball players there to practice? Is fielding bunts something pitchers should practice? Billy Wagner is such a whino. All of a sudden, I’m a Michigan fan.

   Spring training is for practice, and obviously this kid needs more practice with bunting if he bunted it foul. One out and man on second is a legit situation for a bunt – especially if the pitcher is 37 years old and isn’t expecting it. I applaud you, young bunter.

   And thank you to Billy for the free publicity for Villanova. Apparently the Mets have some ties to Nova (assistant GM is a Nova grad), as seen in the SI article on Santana this week.

    Bunting with a man on second and 1 out makes no sense which is why he was annoyed. This doesn’t mean anything anyway.
