To be able to take care of your own business then come in and watch a game like that, is exciting. [The Mets] losing tonight was huge. We're all having a good time and we'll enjoy this for a couple of hours, then we have to go to work again." Said Jayson Werth: "We're having a lot of fun here ... We have a great clubhouse with great chemistry. It's a special atmosphere. The stretch drive is going to be a lot of fun, and we're going to have a chance to do some special things." 3 comments	Subscribe!

So, a few back spasms and an 8th-inning RBI double later, the Phillies are back to within a game and a half of the Mets.

Three cheers for Jimmy Rollins.

Poor, sad jeers for the aching, unpredictable Billy Wagner. Oh, my aching back!

Okay, so maybe he's not that unpredictable. Like anyone else (especially my Queens neighbors, who nearly shook my apartment with celebration after the Mets took a 9th-inning lead over the Marlins last night), I was expecting Wags to come in and finish the game, 1-2-3.
