i agree w/ x. billy wagner has no business calling out any teammates, putting signs on millege's locker, etc. who does he think he is? just cuz he's a vet he has all this built up credibility? i dont think so. as far as im cocnerned only willie and pedro have the right to be talking this kind of shit.
and i guarentee this did NOT light a fire under perez's ass. since when does this guy respond positively to adversity or tough love? we all see how easily he implodes the second something goes wrong whiel he's pitching. he's got amazing stuff but he's got a fragile makeup. and even if he goes out and pitches 7 shutout innings today, how does that prove that it's cuz of wagner? he already has 3 sscoreless outings this year, he's just inconsistent and he always will be--especially if he can't get his shit together in a contract year
