Mets Name Wright Captain

IMG_0337

 

I am glad there isn’t going to be a “C” on the jersey, I hate, hate, hate, that look. It seems so out of place. Did I mention I hate it? Cool for Wright. And just remember what Shannon told you guys last year, face of the franchise.(For the most part I hate it when Shannon is right.)

From the @mets twitter feed- David Wright

 “I take this seriously. We’ll all in agreement there won’t be a C on the jersey.”

“I was lucky I played with the Mets last captain Johnny Franco. I learned a lot from my teammates.I’d like to speak with Johnny and Keith Hernandez to listen to any advice they might have for me.Wright. One of the proudest days of my career. To be viewed this way. It’s a short list of guys who have been captain in our history.”

The direction the Mets are taking? Excited? Trying to revamp the game so outfielders aren’t needed?

“I try to lead by example. I’m crazy excited about the direction we are headed.”

At least the tickets for Opening day don’t start at $63. Wait? What? They do? Seriously? With no outfield? YEESH…

Mets David Wright Might Start Season on DL

Man, to have to pay $63 bucks for Opening Day to possibly see no outfield, no Santana, no Frank Francisco, and possibly no Wright is really going to suck. At this point the Mets should make a new ticket pack for Opening Day. The Buy Opening Day at $63 bucks a ticket and get three free games ticket pack.

This is from Adam Rubin’s Twitter feed.

Sandy Alderson says David Wright has moderate intercostal strain on side. Just on general timelines for rib cages, Terry Collins figured David Wright may begin season on DL.Justin Turner about to get a lot of reps at third base, according to Terry Collins.

Been stated elsewhere, but entirely possible Mets’ 3 highest-paid remaining players open on DL: Johan, Wright, Francisco. 2 are near-locks.If all 3 opened the season on the DL, John Buck would be the Mets’ highest-paid active player at $6 million.Zach Lutz, who would have to be a third-base candidate, even though he’s playing 1B today, is 2-for-3.

David Wright officially has withdrawn from the World Baseball Classic, Mets confirm.

Mets Ticket Sales Must Be Gangbusters

600x500_asg_tixstrips

I got this in my slew of email when I woke up today.
I wonder how many strips are actually left.Do those go over to the lottery in April? Will people buy a plan now knowing how much each strip is? Are people just hoping to get in with the ASG Ticket Lottery? Did the sticker shock scare away some plan holders from buying strips?

Will Batman and the Boy Wonder be able to escape the Sands of Time trap that King Tut has them in? Maybe these questions answered soon, stay tuned to this, same bat time, same bat channel.
