Last week, in a poll on MetsBlog.com, 67 percent of voters said the Mets should try to sign Wright to a six- or seven-year contract extension this winter; while 12 percent said the team should blow him away with an eight-or nine-year deal.
Wow, I must be losing it… It just seems that lately my opinion is always out of line with the mainstream Mets fans…
