Dave Lennon of Newsday reports that Billy Wagner feels ready for the season. Lennon says Wagner is physically ready for the season, as well as feeling anxious, and bored of the preseason. Wagner told him:

You can't gauge anything on games that don't count.. What I
try to do is stay healthy. I don't need to go out there and impress anybody
right now. This has probably been one of my better spring trainings.”

I believe that point Wagner makes right there, is one thats been argued several times in the comments here, at metsblog, and in the Bleachers.

Lennon further reports that Wagner feels his slider and fastball are both into regular season form. Wagner will pitch twice more before the end of training.

The article also has a nice little peak inside the bullpen corner of the clubhouse, talking of Wagners trash talk to the other pen guys. Wagner and the Show getting along has been mentioned before, but its always good to see that the guys can get along off the field.
