And gas is going to be $10/gallon by Memorial Day.

At some point, it is the responsibility of the reporter to filter out impossibilities.

David Wright is not going to bat .400 for an entire season:

"The way Terry Collins sees it, if David Wright can get to the All-Star break hitting above .400, 'he could be dangerous for the rest of the year.

'Because he has the physical attributes it takes to chase that mark — strong, not only to hit the ball out of the park, but he’ll take singles, he can run, so the choppers in the hole, he can beat some of those out,' Collins added. 'There’s a lot of positives.' "

Or just stop asking managers how their players are going to perform.


"Wright is batting .403 after going 0-for-4 Tuesday and who knows if he’ll make a run at .400."

I do.

I know he will not make a run at .400, and I'm just some guy who isn't even getting paid to write about sports.

Best case, Wright will miss by 50 or 60 points. Might be good enough for a batting title and an MVP, but nowhere near .400.
