See what happens when you mess with karma, you Jealous petty little met fans?

Wagner wants to laugh about stealing Mo's song, well who's laughing now?

Wagner wants to tweak the the Great Mo Rivera and steal his calling card in this town, enter sandman ... fine by me, but Wagner just learned his first lesson about failing to show the proper respect to an immortal, how it comes back to bite you in the @$$, and you can mark this down, so long as this wannabe who cannot even shine Mariano's cleets keeps using BIG MO'S SONG, he is in for the worse season of his life

last nite was one small signal from the baseball gods

LOSE MARIANO'S SONG OR SUFFER DIRE CONSEQUENCES:cloudy:

Consider last nite a warning shot across his bow, and he better heed that warning or he will go down in history as the biggest bust in Mets history, even bigger than Armando Benitez, cause you don't mess with the karma of an NYY immortal and live to tell about it

Take it for what it's worth, Met fans, but don't say you weren't warned

If this wannabe clown doesn't ditch Mariano's song, AND FAST, you Met fans are gonna be lookin back at the Armando Benitez era as THE GOOD OLD DAYS

That this is even talked about, is hysterical.

Wagner started using the song in '96, but that is not realy the point.

Are the Yankees now going to claim that "take me out to the ball game" is theirs too?

How 'bout hot dogs-They want to secure that so no one else can serve them?

Typical Yankee hysteria

He started using the song in 1996 when he had 50 IP and 9 saves? I find that hard to believe.

Suspend disbelief:

Song belongs to Met-tallica

Not only should the Mets play "Enter Sandman" when closer Billy Wagner takes the mound at Shea, the manager of Metallica says they should turn up the volume.

"Frankly, they could have played it louder as far as I'm concerned," said Peter Mensch, the band's manager and a Mets season-ticket holder. "My comment is: Go Billy."

A day after Wagner closed the Mets' 3-2 Opening Day victory with Mensch in attendance, sports-talk radio erupted, with Yankee fans railing at Wagner's entry music - the same song used by Mariano Rivera in the Bronx.

For the record, Wagner used the song first, even if it's synonymous in baseball circles with Rivera's entrance.

While with Houston during Wagner's rookie season in 1996, teammate Jeff Bagwell disliked the lefty's entry music, George Strait's "They Call Me the Fireman," and persuaded Wagner to switch.

Rivera didn't begin using the song for another three years. Yankee Stadium personnel had been so struck by the crowd reaction in San Diego the previous season when Trevor Hoffman entered games to AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" that they sought to find an anthem for Rivera. Scoreboard operator Mike Luzzi brought in a bunch of CDs and the Yankees tested different tunes, including Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City." They settled on "Enter Sandman," which drew the best crowd response. Rivera didn't even know anything about the band."

What are the odds of a giant meteor coming through the atmosphere, breaking into 2 pieces, and striking both Shea and Yankees Stadiums at the same time during home games?

Actually both the Mets and Yankees are getting new stadiums so we need to get the old ones hosed

Hammer,

Forget about the Mets. You always say they are insginificant...if that is truly the case then dont mention or bring them up. Its simple really...just dont mention them and keep the redsox or some other team in your sights. After all, if what you say is true then:

1) The Mets wont make the playoffs

2) the mets will be a .500 team at best

3) The Yanks will win the WS..

So why worry about the crosstown rival when you have put them at such a low threshold?

Who cares what song they play for Wagner? Who cares who's the better 3rd baseman? Who cares what the Mets are doing?

See Hammer, it doesnt really matter right?

Wow. He used it his last 2 seasons in the minors? Impressive.

Listen to these comical mets fans spew garbage.

WHo told you he had it 3 yrs before mo ? Please enlighten us. He didn't even have a career 3 yrs before Mo.

**** Billy Wagner and the POS Mets. You haven't done anything in 20 years.

2 decades of garbage baseball.

Ham, Yankee fans, you are officially all ridiculous. Nevermind that Wagner used that meaningless song before he was a Met and before Rivera even had it. Nevermind that this is a pointless argument. Nevermind that you have a team of your own to follow. Rivera and Wagner don't care about it, so why should you?

I find it laughable that so many people care about a song.

Is it really that big a deal? Cause it sounds really pathetic to us outside of NY. Very petty. No-one "owns" songs in sports. Every sport has the same old songs.

Nobody is claiming he/we own the song. we are talking about the manner in which it's being used. However the entire thing was started by Mike & the Mad dog who are idiots.

The facts remains the Mets fans are the ones claiming some sort of ownership of this song for 2 reasons.

1. They claim Wagner used it 3 yrs before Mo.

2. They also say his parents or family were Metallica roadies.

So why multiple threads with multiple pages on the subject if it is no big deal? Why should you care if the Mets use the song? It's a freaking song! I hear many same songs with different teams in different sports. Why? Because they make sense when they are played. 'Enter Sandman' is an obvious choice for a closer. Neither Wagner or Rivera have the right to it nor should anyone be upset if someone else plays it. If I played it when I'm on the mound during a wiffleball game will I be dissing the yanks and Mo? Or do I need to be thrwoing in nyc for it to matter?
