Monday usually has a light schedule, and last night was no exception. It was even lighter thanks to a rain out and the Yankees deciding not to show up quite yet for their series in Anaheim. To quote Major League, that brawl was the first sign of life in weeks.
Not surprising that Pudge swung and missed Torii Hunter, he hasn't hit anything since he joined the Yankees. Thank you, thank you, we'll be here all week... 
On to the notes. 
  • Billy Wagner is officially done for the season. The Mets' closer will undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his pitching elbow that will sideline him for a while. It's not expected to interfere with his ability to get ready for next season. This is just a simple end to a complex problem.

Update: Should have been clear. He should be ready at some point next season. Spoke with someone close to the Mets and the feeling is he could be available around the All-Star break, but throwing before that. Reports of a full-year recovery are legit, but there is some silver lining. Even worse, the rumor has it that the Mets knew about the extent of the injury long before the declaration yesterday.
