Billy Wagner done for the year?

Strike two on the day.

David Lennon is reporting that Billy Wagner may be done for the year.

Wagner was throwing a simulated game at Shea Stadium, but was unable to continue after only a handful of pitches, even hitting one of the batters he faced.

Lennon relays a pretty telling quote from Wagner: "That's it. I can't do it anymore."

Looks like the Mets should just settle in with the thought of not having Wagner for the rest of the season. Groom Luis Ayala for the closer role for the rest of the season and hopefully into the post-season.

The only thing that could make today worse is getting swept at home by the Phillies.
