(The) Harvey Rules!

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure how that's lol.

Joel Sherman in the Post:

Wright told Harvey when he was rehabbing the fractured bone in his lower back and had to be with the team because the rehab doctor was in New York, he made sure he arrived super-early to make sure he did not take away doctor/trainer time from active players. He advised Harvey do the same, and also to mimic what he has done in March -- attend the pitchers� meetings and be an active cheerleader and information dispenser in the dugout. The message is simple: You have to be a supporting actor at Citi, not a star of the City; a dispenser of high fives, not a staple of Page Six.

�It�s been my philosophy that I am an employee, not the employer,� Wright said. �The advice I gave him was to find common ground with the Mets. To definitely do what is best for him, but also not to lose sight that he is the employee, not the employer.�

Bravo, Captain!

From David Lennon in Newsday.

"Certain situations I feel strongly about and I may approach them a little bit differently," Harvey told Newsday. "But I'm all about this team. I'm all about the New York Mets and I'm all about winning. I can preach that until I'm blue in the face."

Bravo, Dark Knight!

Harvey should stfu and work out.

That's two turns of phrase and a plug for his employers in one sentence for Sherman. He should pat himself on the back and take the rest of the week off.

All love to the Captain, but fuck Sherman. He won't be happy 'til Wright is playing third for the MFYs.

[Edgy MD]

That was sort of meant to be implied. Get it? Take the rest of the week off? Wocka-wocka?

[G-Fafif]

Couldn't find the link, but a couple of years ago, Sherman wrote a column in which Wright comes to him all full of wonder about how great MFYs were and asks Joel to explain what a team that cares about winning is like. He's not my preferred venue for David is a Pro paeans since from Sherman I consider just about everything thinly veiled Met-bashing.

But yes, the Page Six shoutout should earn him a little something from Rupert in the company newsletter.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think Sherman's OK. Among the tabloid columnists I usually prefer reading from him over just about the entire Snooze team. You just have to adjust for the populist MFY bias like you would player stats in the deadball era.

Wright's such a goody twoshoes, and Harvey -- what a douchebag!

[G-Fafif]

Populist MFY bias ain't going anywhere soon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's just gonna make that champagne taste that much sweeter.
