Billy Wagner in his latest article in The New York Post tells us the Shea crowd was the loudest he's ever heard it when he entered the game last night to face Albert Pujols…
In the ninth inning, running in from the bullpen to “Enter Sandman,”
the atmosphere was the loudest I had ever heard. It was ear-shattering.
My heart was pounding. I told myself to get the job done; to deliver
for the sake of my teammates and for the sake of the fans.
As
fate would have it, it was a two-run game, and the first guy I faced
was Albert Pujols. Knowing that as a lead-off hitter he couldn't hit a
two-run homer was comforting. He's a great competitor, and I knew I had
to make my pitches count. Our defense was fantastic and Carlos Delgado
saved me on Albert. It was a relief knowing that I could go out and get
that first out.
