Wagner upset over story, denies criticism of Mets relievers

NEW YORK - After declaring himself available to reporters before Wednesday night's game, Billy Wagner also took the opportunity to share his extreme displeasure with a New York Times article published yesterday that he believed was inaccurate.

Wagner, who was not made available in Tuesday night's game because of a muscle spasm in his shoulder, reamed the Times columnist for writing that Wagner had second thoughts about not playing after seeing the Mets bullpen get "slapped around."

"What a pain in the - -- it is. I can't even get hurt without being thrown under the bus," the closer said. "I know right now I didn't say I changed my mind and wished I'd have pitched yesterday after seeing the bullpen get slapped around. I know I didn't say that quote. He's going to stand in front of you guys and this team and apologize." More
