Billy Wagner closes for the New York Mets now instead of Philadelphia, but the opinionated lefty has thrown some gas on the rivalry between the two best teams in the NL East. Wagner told The Philadelphia Inquirer for Sunday's editions that he was not well-liked in the Phillies clubhouse, his former teammates were waiting to see him fail, and left fielder Pat Burrell called him a "rat" during a midseason team meeting last year. The division-leading Mets open a three-game series Tuesday at second-place Philadelphia. The Phillies wrapped a three-game series Sunday with San Francisco and Barry Bonds. "Now it goes from Bonds to Wagner," Phillies starter Brett Myers said in mock indignation.
