Wilie bares a lot on his perception as manager and how race plays into it.

Wagner looked over toward the area of first baseman Carlos Delgado's locker and blurted: "Someone tell me why the (expletive) you're talking to the closer. I didn't even play. They're over there, not being interviewed. ... I got it. They're gone. (Expletive) shocker."

Great interview with the best manager in Met history.

Drunken Philly and Met fans go at it in yesterday game.

While I think many of Milledge's faults were overblown, I actually liked one that I'll retell for you in the cleanest terms I can. When the Mets beat up on the Marlins in the second to last game of the season last year, some of the Marlins contended that Milledge fired them up for the season finale with his home run trot/handshakes/antics. A few of us approached Milledge after the final game, the disappointing one-sided loss, and asked him if he had fired up the Marlins. His response - which should have spoken for all the Mets' fans - was, "(bleep) the Marlins."

Maybe a little more of that attitude and the Mets wouldn't have collapsed. And they wouldn't be getting booed already this season.

Willie makes dismissive remarks about Pagan performance.
