Billy Wagner didn't appreciate the comments King Albert made regarding his teammate Tom Glavine. Pujols has exactly zero home runs and zero RBIs in the series.

Meanwhile, Pujols is hearing it from Glavine's teammates. On Sunday it was Billy Wagner's turn. As Wagner put it to Pujols, “It's not a good idea to take on a Hall of Famer.”

Added Wagner: ”If [Glavine] wasn't all that good, then how do you look?”

However Wagner, forgives Puljos, noting he's said things he's regretted before himself.

Wagner defended Pujols, saying he didn't believe Pujols meant his
putdown the way it came out. “He's a good guy, very genuine,” Wagner
insisted. He also excused Pujols for feeling extra pressure. “He's got
the weight of the [organization] firmly on his shoulders. He goes 0 for
4, there's a good chance they're not going to win.”

“Take it from me,” Wagner said, “I've stuck my foot in my mouth so many times I've lost count.”

Wagner also brings us his latest article today in The New York Post.

Speaking of sticking a foot in ones mouth, I hope Billy never does that and gives anyone bulletin board material with that New York Post gig of his, ala David Cone and the Dodgers in 88. The whole idea of our closer penning his own piece on a regular basis in a New York tabloid makes me nervous as hell.
