The best .000 hitter in playoff history.

The continued wonders of small sample size:

"Just think, for a minute, what would be going on right now in New York if that other third baseman were 0-for-9 in an LCS and his team was trailing. Just think what we'd be saying about Alex Rodriguez if he were rattling off clichés like those Wright was spinning when this one was over.

David Wright doesn't get ripped the way Alex Rodriguez does, and he shouldn't."

Imagine my shock and delight when Dan Graziano (1) noticed that David Wright has been a bust in the playoffs so far and (2) Alex Rodriguez shouldn't get ripped the way he gets ripped.


"He doesn't have nearly as much experience. He makes approximately $25 million less per year. He doesn't walk around alienating everybody by talking about how bright he is."

Oh.

The "he" who shouldn't get ripped is David Wright.

I forgot: David Wright makes less money than Alex Rodriguez, is less experienced than Alex Rodriguez (which is good?), and doesn't walk around alienating everybody like Alex Rodriguez does.

Ed Coleman also is on record claiming he wishes he had a son like David Wright.

The fans want Wright to be the new Mets cap'n because he's a young, energetic, hard-working .000 hitter who brings the team together while hitting .000 in the NLCS with a positive attitude that belies his .000 NLCS batting average.


I can only hope Eddie Jr. tanks for the whole series and makes a couple of errors at third base for good measure .

His "stubbly face" plastered on the back cover of the New York newspapers with a big, red circle and a slash through it.

I've even got an awesome headline ready to go: Wright is wrong.
