Captain in Action

[Edgy MD]

A thread to trace whether there's any meaningful difference in David Wright's game now that he's wearing the invisible C.

I loved the very Davidian way he fought with the umpire last night in a completely responsible and self-consciously upright way, making sure he turned toward the other umps to ask for time before making his case passionately but evenly, always staying at least 12 inches from the third base ump.

He can only be what he be. Even losing his temper, he's Rhon and Elsa Wright's good citizen son first. He wasn't gonna win the fight, but I wanted to give him a merit badge.

There's a power outage in Wright's game. Isn't it obvious? Permanent talent shift? Can't blame Citi's old dimensions anymore, right?

Wright's never hits for power in April. well, not never, but less. It's his worst month.

I thought this thread was going to be about girls with big hineys that got flower baskets from Derek Jeter.

I guess that David lurks this forum, too.

Rubin tweeted that he saw David on his iPhone after the third inning.

At the time, David was tweeting that he saw Rubin on his iPhone.

I like the term "Wrighteous" better, but that's just me.

David Wright is projecting to 116 bases on balls for the 2013 season. John Olerud is the only Met to walk more than 100 times in a season (125 in 1999).

And Duda projects to 110. It'd be nice if someone could drive these two guys in once in a while.
