David Wright, now would be a good time to step up

 Are you giving it all she's got, Captain? Not that David Wright is having a sub-par year; far from it, as Wright is hitting .308 with three home runs and 20 RBI’s. As usual, Wright is producing at the clip we are accustomed to seeing from him. However, with the Mets having dropped seven out [...]

Should Mets make David Wright their captain?

In light of David Wright’s extension, the issue has come up about making Wright the official team captain.  A title held only three times in team history, and one that, well, is a tad overrated, over blown and very much reeks of pulling what the guys in the Bronx do. The guys in the Boogie [...]

In a world where David Wright is wrong

Up is down, black is white is short is long and everything that you thought which was SO important, doesn’t matter. These prophetic words were sung by Weird Al Yankovich in his Album, Bad Hair Day.  The reality remains that with or without David Wright, the Mets are far from being a World Series competitor.  [...]

The Mets, David Wright and the road less traveled

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,  And sorry I could not travel both               And be one traveler, long I stood              And looked down one as far as I could   To where it bent in the undergrowth;                Then took the other, as just as fair,         And having perhaps the better claim,     Because it [...]
