Any update on Jerry’s effort to form a baseball program for William J. College? You remember the one, right? From Feb. 2007…the one you tried to pass off as current because you saw 2 writers mention it. You even told us he got on a plane that day to go do it.

That’ was 2007 But that’s okay, you told me it doesn’t matter when he said it.

So what’s the latest? There should be a 2011 progress report about in somewhere on the web right?

Williams has taken nearly every opportunity to rip on the Mets. Except the other day when he actually said something positive about the Mets. He said he believes Angel Pagan is the most underrated player in baseball! I was shocked when he said that.

I saw the MLB listing and thought that they were nuts yet the anit-Mets syndrome continues on the MLB network especially when you have a person like Mitch Williams as an “analyst” and I have yet to hear him say anything positive about Mets and saves his accolades for the Phillies.

Until Mets become a legitimate contender, less press on FO goings on and coverage is strictly to on the field then David and others on Mets will receive the same treatment.

Since when does finishing last always, Nats and having a #1 that got hurt already , mean that Zimmerman gets all the press at 3rd and Beltre has always been a player that produces when it is contract time.

I am hoping that that at least with the cut down on K’s that David will bring his avg up and produce more runs as he has in the past.
Lets Go Mets!

And I watch the games too. I see Wright perform well in big spots. But, I realize that human memory is faulty and we are all subject to our personal biases. Thats why I bother to go and check the facts.

And the facts are that he performs well in important spots. Did he have a rough 2009? Yes. Has his defense suffered the last 2 years? Yes. But, 2010 was a slight bounce back for him.

So, yes, your opinions are yours and you have every right to them, but don’t get pissy because I point out how they are not based in reality. If you don’t want to get called out for ignoring facts, don’t post your opinion on the internet.

Don’t come here on this board and say I’m inventing stuff about Wright because I’M NOT. And I WILL disparage a player who somehow is claimed to be the face of this franchise by a bunch of pom pom waving dimple admirers because I’ve watched this guy over the years and seen him get worse AND worse in big spots, even his D is getting worse. This guy is a FALSE hero, why? Because he’s white and has a nice smile?

2nd of all, don’t even put Wright & Hernandez on ANY kind of equal platform whatsoever!

A few nice numbers he puts it is not gonna compensate for the YEARS of heroic and impactful baseball Keith Hernandez has been responsible for all his years with Cards and Mets.

So drop that right away. My opinions on Wright are MY OWN and I make NOTHING up. I’ve been saying the same things about him here for a few years now so go back under your rock.

But seriously, yes, Keith was a great player. The best and most complete 1B the team has ever had.

but don’t disparrage Wright with some crap you’re inventing (or are simply reggurgitating from the Post) and go one to sing about what a great team mate Hernandez was.

The facts are way different.

Doesn’t mean they were not great, famous, or legendary at what they did. You can spin anything you want to suit your own agenda.

Keith Hernandez – one of the greatest Mets of all time and one of the most respected baseball players in baseball history.

Don’t credit me with the above statement because most logical people know that already.

Your attempt to discredit Keith, whoever you are, is really fruitless. YOU know it and so does everyone else so just stop already.

There is no 86 Mets without Keith Hernandez (duh..obviously i know you can say that about a number of mates that year…so just stick to the context here)

He was a leader for Mets AND Cardinals World Series teams. He partied but ON THE FIELD he was a leader.

People are bored reading this because they already know it so go to another board and try to discredit Keith?

How about a Boston or Brewer board?

Do you have anything credible that can support your claims.

There’s no reason for me to even discuss the importance of Keith Hernandez to Mets history, specifically, 80s history.

That’s a known fact to all. On the other hand this is the age of the internet now and I could be talking to somebody sitting home in his underwear nibbling cheese doodles, with their own silly conspiracy theories..who knows.

It’s comments like this that make me more appreciative of professional sports journalists and pundits.

In August and September, 2008, when the rest of the team was stumbling to the end, Wright absolutely tore the league up. He was determined to drag them kicking and screaming into October. He did everything humanly possible. The other 24 guys on the roster decided not to cooperate. Not his fault.

Stop regurgitating the crap the Post tells you to think and look at the facts.

Was that leadership?
