I don’t tink they were flat. Detweiler had very good stuff tonight and they had a AAA lineup on the field. Cedeno was hitting 2nd and Bay 4th which is all you really need to know. I can’t see a team that’s 4-0 and has had success against Detweiler in the past being flat.

Didnt gget to watch the game cus i took the lil 1 to the circus but i was watchin the updates on mets.com on my phone, but can anyone tell me if they looked a little flat playing tonight after the announcement with wright

Good point….thnx for calming me down….lol….let’s go mets….offense ain’t there tonight…let’s see if we can crack this young phenom tomorrow night. We always seem to do good against the young “star” pitchers, and suck against the rookie no namers 5th starters from the Nationals for example

I’m sorry. I’m not an internet tough guy. I’m just a frustrated Mets fan. I guess I didn’t realize it was broken and he couldn’t even grip a bat….that just figures, our star 3rd baseman breaks his finger sliding back into first on the 4th game of the year, after starting the year on a tear. Now he’ll be out 2 weeks, and will be struggling to get that grove back when he comes back….oh well…nothing surprises me anymore with this team when it comes to pure shyt bad luck

also back in the 80′s hairbands ruled the earth, computers only had 64 kilobytes of memory and cell phones weighed 20+ lbs. The morel of the story?alot of the stuff we did in the 80′s didnt work out great and we learned and started to do stuff better.

You would honestly rather him play hurt and “earn his mllions” then get hurt worse and sit home for months and months while collecting those millions?
Or sit out a game or 2 and the come back and collect millions?

So you are saying they played when they had a broken finger and couldn’t grip a bat. Man you are an internet tough guy huh?

Agreed 100% I wouldnt be bothered if the Mets traded Wright away before his deal is up.
At some point we have to face the facts Wright is not a winner, he doesnt have a winners mentality he has the mentality, toughness & voice of a 14yr old girl.

I don’t care what anyone says….back in the 80′s, players didn’t have days off beccause their little pinky hurt….get the f@ck outta here…get out there and play ball and earn your millions….ok, so he might not be 100%…still better than not having him in the lineup…I’m sick of these big millionaire babies

Ah, the Achilles Pinky!

Uh if he can’t even grip a bat how would you expect him to play. Sucks though.

Yeah we are off to a hott streak, but I would rather Wright sit out a game or 2 and let his pinky bruise heal and come back just as strong as when he left compared to him playing tonight possibly hurting the finger more.

Also it is his throwing hand that has the bruise on it, so you add in the chance that if he rushes to turn a DP or even if hes just trying to throw a routine out, his pinky may affect how he holds\throws it with may affect his accuarcy with can lead to a few errors.

Fact is we dont know how much that bruise affects him and sitting him out is better for the team right now and for him. And what if the bruise affects his swing (that he just seemed to get going good again) and he has a few bad AB’s? that can cause him to try tto tinker with it again and we all saw how that worked out the last few seasons. Plus we all saw what a bruise did to Ike. So let the man get back to 100% and LETS GO METS !!!

Are you expected to swing a bat or throw a ball better than 99.9% of the world over the course of 162 games?

No? OK, just checking.

A bruised right pinkie???…..are you effing kidding. Please don’t start this stupid shyt now. And he’s 4 for 8 against this kid? If I told my boss my pinky hurts and its bruised, do you think he would tell me to go home and rest up? No, he would say pull ur skirt up, and get up on that roof and lay some shingles! I love David Wright, but man the f@ck up bro. Get out there and play baseball for christ sake…sorry, but with the momentum we have going, I really don’t wanna start hearing about our star players getting these stoopid little injuries.

Dillon Gee doen’t get enough respect. He had a very solid rookie season last year. He had a few bad starts at the end of the year because he ran out of gas, which inflated his stats, and made it seem like he pitched worse than he really did. But for most of the season he pitched really good – There were even people talking about him possibly making the all star game!

He’s also looked really good in spring.

not going to lie i was holding my breath when I first saw the title of the article. I was expecting to hear he re-agruvated his torn abdomen or something horrible like that. A brusied pinky I can semi deal with just sucks its on his throwing hand.

O well rest up Wright, and while your relaxing get talking with Ike and help him get going! LETS GO METS!!!
