The first time is often the most difficult.

When will a New York City Metropolitan area sports columnist actually openly criticize David Wright?

Dan Graziano takes the plunge:

"Give David Wright credit for one thing. When it was all over, he was right there at his locker, answering questions about where Game 5 went wrong. Got to give him credit for that.

But that's it."

The best part is that Wright was 1-for-4 with a "close-and-late" eighth inning double that almost saved the game (and the season?!) for the New York Mets.

But once you break the seal, there's no turning back.

If the Mets lose tonight and Wright pulls an o-fer ... well ... then the Mets might have to trade Wright to the Cubs.
