It has been well-documented that David Wright has suffered through a power outage this season. The home run dropoff cannot be solely attributed to the move from Shea Stadium to Citi Field. Out of the ten home runs hit by Wright, five have come at Citi Field and five have been hit on the road. Last year, Wright hit 33 HR in 735 plate appearances (626 at-bats).

I’m not sure if K-Rod is a victim of not getting...
Read MoreWith the Mets eliminated from playoff contention for what seems like months, it comes as no surprise that fans have been turning their interests to football and season premieres of awful reality shows.
