BY SCOTT LAUBER Because we're just not ready to let go of the Mets series ...
1. Billy Wagner has a tear in his left elbow that will require surgery. He'll miss the final 19 games of this season and almost all of next year, too. So, maybe Pat Gillick was wise for not giving Wagner a four-year contract in November 2005. Then again, Gillick probably shouldn't have given Tom Gordon a three-year deal.
2. The Phillies have Mike Schmidt's 73-word e-mail missive, but according to esteemed New York Times columnist George Vecsey, Marlon Anderson provided some inspiration for the Mets back in June. When the Mets were 30-32, Anderson told his teammates they would have to win 62 of their final 100 games to qualify for the postseason. So far, they're not far off that pace.
