Be My Yoko Ono Jeter

[Fman99]

Fred Wilpon exclaims the Mets to be financially sound.

This is the thing that burns me, though.

Douchey McDouchenheimer wrote: "David is a unique player. He's an All-Star," Wilpon said. "I think David is an All-Star in all things. He's a great person. To me, he's our [Derek] Jeter."

Why does he hate Mets fans so much? Ugh.

I would've guessed he was "our Pee Wee Reese," per Fred.

Seeing as how Wright has explicitly taken pains to model himself after Jeter, it's unavoidable.

I prefer to see him as Cal Ripken.
