  I’m glad I went to sleep. Whenever the game goes to the bullpen, the odds of winning are cut in half. This might be the worst bullpen in ten years.

  can someone please find where the real david wright is??? isn’t he supposed to be the leader of this team??? people have gotten on everybody but him, this is just amazing, all the smack about him being a leader and yadayada, yet he’s nowhere to be found when his team needs him to the most, there is absolutely NOTHING about him that leads me to believe he’ll be a met for a long time, ALL TALK, when pressure is on, he folds like a napkin at a wedding reception or gets tighter than a ***** on pre wedding day, gain, to quote PHIL from the hangover “paging dr ******!!!! paging dr ******!!!!!”
  since aug 7th, since reyes has been out (mets 3-7) he’s got 8 hits, 3 rbi’s and 9 k’s… where is DAVID WRIGHT!!!!?????

    Show me again where he proclaimed himself the leader?

    I know the media makes that assumption, but YOU said he claimed he is the leader still waiting on that proof.

    You’re irrational hate of Wright is right up there with Alderson……….
  • XtreemIcon August 17, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    You’re the only person who calls Wright a leader. The only one.
    • alex68 August 17, 2011 at 12:18 pm

      so xtree-micon, wright has never said “as a leader of this team”???????
      • Pat August 17, 2011 at 12:33 pm

        NEVER ever

        Show us a quote where HE claimed to be the leader………….

          Pat,

          Wright HAS talked about leadership in interviews in the past, I have definitely seen it. Reading this thread had me curious so I looked on the web quickly and in a matter of seconds I found this quote by him. This was in 2009, there was some controversy involving John Franco and clubhouse leadership and Wright actually comes right and defends his leadership:
          http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2009/07/david_wright_responds_to_criti.html

          Now are there any other quotes around from different seasons? Maybe. But i just did a quick google search and found this one in about 15 seconds.

            bayonne, thanks. i posted this before when someone else try to defend him, first the apologist were saying he’s the best thing since bottle opener, then, he IS clutch, then he is an ALL STAR, ETC.. is a shame the mets with him as the “leader” he proclaim to be are nothing but a 440 winning pct team.. pathetic..
            • Pat August 18, 2011 at 7:26 am

              There you go again making up blatant lies. NO ONE PERSON has every said that he is the best thing ever, NEVER, in fact, many here have discussed at length his flaws.

              The difference is, you compare him to CHOO CHOO COLEMAN, and anytime the team fails you put it all on him, when it takes 25 guys to fail.
          • Pat August 18, 2011 at 7:24 am

            The difference is your boy here Alex has said in many threads that has claimed to BE THE leader of this team, which he never has. Many take on leadership type roles, and in 09 Wright was the ONLY guy left standing, and he got called out and responded.

            He has never self proclaimed himself the leader.
            • alex68 August 18, 2011 at 8:22 am

              first, earn your way to MMO before try taking on the big dogs here.. second, i proved you wrong, where is my apology? .. third, do you have a man crush on me? every morning i come in and first i see is a pat reply on a comment made by Alex68, stalking much??
              • Pat August 18, 2011 at 12:05 pm

                First of all, who the hell are you talking about earning anything on MMO and who the hell are the Big Dogs here? Do you own this site? Knowing at least a bit about baseball may help, which you don’t, clearly. Aren’t you the guy that was BANNED for a year from this site, is that your idea of a BIG DOG?

                You did not prove me wrong, you danced again, YOU said, on many occasions that Wright has Proclaimed himself THE leader of the clubhouse and this article does not say that at all.

                One more thing, get over yourself, man crush (assuming I’m a man – sexist much) I just respond to the idiotic comments, you just happen to make the most.
        • alex68 August 17, 2011 at 1:08 pm

          I don’t feel the need to have to defend myself as a leader. If these guys in here respect me and think of me as a leader, that’s what I need. I don’t worry myself about outside people saying what they’re going to say, because it doesn’t matter to me.

          david wright!!!

            and……………???????????
  • Pat August 17, 2011 at 12:34 pm

    Another thing, few weeks before going back on DL, Reyes sure came back to earth, that’s ok? However, you kill Wright at every chance……..

    Aren’t you the one that screams consistent, or is that another word you don’t know the meaning of?
    • alex68 August 17, 2011 at 1:12 pm

      335 BA is not the same as a 260 BA..
      • Pat August 18, 2011 at 7:27 am

        That’s all you got?
  • Des August 18, 2011 at 8:50 am

    Alex, normally I withhold commenting on your frequently childish posts. You are either an attention seeker or just a plain jerk. Maybe both. It’s time for you to think before you commit any more stupid statements.

  Latest news on Wilpon and Katz not good for 2012 and beyond. They most likely will owe another $300 million, given yesterday’s circuit court ruling.

  Have a feeling next year could make us look competitive this year.
  • alex68 August 17, 2011 at 10:29 am

    russell,

    is amazing, you made a valid point, but in year 2 of sandy after saving 60 million to the wilpons it looks as it will not be enough.. sell the team, save the fans and the front office the embarrasment of having to sign more “low risk/high rewards” players, or rule V players who most likely will turn out to be absolute garbage..
    ppl are claiming sandy didn’t have money to work with on year 1, well, isn’t that what he is all about?? small market mentality at its best?? but don’t worry guys, we get 2 picks for reyes when he signs with the phillies and we’re stuck with pretty much the same team we’re watching for the last 10 games..

          this has been the best quote in mmo since i’ve been a part of in 2008:

          Met Maniac BRB I have to got take a Donal. (Just relieving myself with humor)

          Winnah Winnah chicken dinnah, you can now and a lifetime supply of rice-a-roni, try and get some around here to use these words in their proper context and meaning!
