Thu, 30 Apr 2009 06:18:46 -0500

Back in the WBC and Spring Training I noticed that David Wright's stance had changed from last year. He was open and stood a bit further from the plate. At the time I worried that he would struggle... NY Sports Dog--a Place for Mets Fans

Kevin Kernan of the Post discusses the bond being formed by two New York superstars over at the WBC; Derek Jeter and Mets' third baseman David Wright. Kernan writes about how Jeter has become something of a mentor to the younger Wright. Bruce Jenkins of the San Francisco Chronicle doesn't think there's a chance A-Rod remains in New York for the length of his contract. William C. Rhoden of the NY Times writes that Team USA is lacking support from the fans and players. Mainly becau...

David Wright Vows To Be Better

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:36:02 -0500

Kevin Kernan of the NY Post, spoke with David Wright who is hell bent on stopping the Mets' consecutive September slides. "This winter there's been a desire, a passion to get into the gym as soon as possible and to get back to the cages because just like last offseason, the way the season ends it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth," Wright said. "I kind of lost a little bit of aggressiveness last year as far as stealing bases and I want to get back to that," said...

David Wright Forced to Fend Off Attack by Desperate Pack of Cougars

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:24:13 -0500

Nooo, not that type of cougar, the more rabid, predatory of the two. As if being an All-Star Major League Third Baseman in one of the world's most desirable cities wasn't enough, David Wright also just happened to be blessed with a face only the straightest of males, and the butchiest of lesbians, couldn't love. For all other persuasions, Mr. Wright adds a whole new meaning to the term "Hot Corner", or so I hear, but that blessing may have become a bit of a curse as of late. Apparently the Mets slugger was forced to defuse a small riot at his annual "Do the Wright Thing" fundraiser (nice one, David) at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square the other night. According to reports, Wright watched in shock as he was "mobbed by a swarm of trashy-looking cougars." "Middle-age women with bad 80's hair were practically pushing down little kids who were trying to get baseballs signed". To add to the hysteria, and the hilarity, Wrignt supposedly could be overheard pleading, "Ladies, calm down! Please, relax." Just another day in the life of David Wright. Link to the New York Post blurb after the jump, as well as some select cuts of all time classic Cougs.

David Wright : Team Lacks Fire

Thu, 22 May 2008 15:03:24 -0500

Here was an extremely telling quote from David Wright last night that got overlooked: "I just don't think we have the fire I would hope we'd have. Losing like this, I hope, would ruin their nights," Wright said of his departed teammates. "I want them to take it personally when we lose," he said. "I want them to be ticked off."

Ten Mets Who Have Something To Prove Question: Who on the Mets has the Most to Prove in 2008? Answer: The entire team. From the owner, Fred Wilpon, to Nancy Salsiccia, the assistant manager of the Aramark food services-mezzanine level at Shea Stadium.

This will only be semi-serious and brief. As much...

Fantasy Basebal Guy's 3B Rankings, Cheat Sheets, and Auction

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:32:56 -0500

The two New York 3B lead the way once again in 2008 as the Top 3B's in the game. In both AL and NL Leagues Alex Rodriguez and David Wright are the cream of the crop. Don't get me wrong though, there is a difference between these two sluggers. A-Rod continues to hit the A-Bombs all the while still stealing you over 20 bases, a great five tool player. Wright on the other hand, is you poor mans version of A-Rod, filling out all five categories, but at a reduced price.
