Some fighting words from Billy Wagner

Quote of the Day comes from Mets reliever Billy Wagner, regarding the fact some of the Phillies' have brawling on their mind after Carlos Beltran's "team to beat" comment. From Newsday, here's Wagner:

"If one of their little 25-year-olds wants to come out and whip my ass, they can brag that they whipped a 37-year-old man's ass. Well, good for them. It's always good to play that underdog role.

"If they come out there, though, there's two things that could happen. I'm pretty sure they're going to whip my ass. But what if I get a shot in? What if? Then you just got your ass whipped on national TV by the littlest guy in baseball, so think of that 'What if?'"

Ohhh please let this happen. It'll be like Nolan Ryan-vs-Robin Ventura, but better. It's those little guys you gotta watch out for... they're angry with the hand they were dealt and overcompensate with toughness.
