Mets can do no wrong.

I even heard a comment that Terry Collins had experienced the best baserunning drill in his career:

"For David Wright it was the perfect opportunity to set a tone for what the Mets believe is the start of a new era. That is, if they’re going to talk about winning they better start acting like winners.

Not that what Noah Syndergaard did on Tuesday was some baseball felony.

But he should have known that, especially when you’re a 22-year-old prospect with no status among the veterans on the ballclub, you don’t sit down at a table in the clubhouse for a bite of lunch while most everyone else is on the field or in the dugout for an intrasquad game.

Wright had come into the clubhouse between innings of the game, and as the Daily News’ Kristie Ackert reported, scolded Syndergaard and told him to get his butt out into the dugout with his teammates."


What was Wright doing in the clubhouse between innings of the game?

Maybe he could have used that time for Leadery Winnershippy Leaderhip.

I don't doubt the Mets are headed for better times. I'm not sure about the playoffs, but it doesn't take too much to make the playoffs nowadays.

What I know for sure is that is this was a team on the decline? This same action would be seen as discontent in the clubhouse and a sure sign of a tough season ahead.
