Lunch in the Syndergaarbage

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Parnell and Wright team up to punish Noah Syndergaard for the crime of eating lunch in the clubhouse while a game was going on.

Parnell reportedly threw plate loaded with food into a trash can.

Leathersich rummaging through garbage to recover food as we speak.

Wright: "This is MY team, bitch."

Perhaps young Noah was confused by concept of supporting his teammates during an intrasquad game in which he was assigned to neither team.

Were the words, "Know your place, Rook" uttered?

Best comment on this so far (via the deadpan link): You mean someone took a teammate's lunch away from him and it wasn't Bartolo?

[Lefty Specialist]

Hope he wasn't playing any music in the clubhouse that [crossout:2arnpi4i]Franco and Leiter[/crossout:2arnpi4i] Wright and Parnell didn't like.

Between Murphy and Synderrookage, the tabloids should
have some fun tomorrow.

Syndergaard, a 22-year-old right-hander who is in his first major-league camp at age 22, later said the incident was cleared up.

Yeah, but how old is he?

[MFS62]

Wright apologizes?

Which incident happened first?

I can picture Wright in the clubhouse:

"Holy fuck. What the hell is Murphy saying? Hey Parnell, quick, throw out Thor's lunch!"

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- New York Mets captain David Wright apologized for scolding pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard on Tuesday in the clubhouse while reporters were nearby.

David's not saying he was wrong to criticize Noah, but he regrets that he didn't do it privately. I don't see any wussiness in that.

I hope down the line this becomes one of those things they point at and say: "and THATS when they began play like champs".

Seriously.

"It was when David threw out that lunch that we all kinda realized that we needed to buck up and play better, to take the game seriously and really take back this town. We were tired of being second-best."

You just know that Leathersich is now going to have to take his food into the shadows and shame-eat it.

Riveting stuff. I know I'm not the first person here to have said this in the past week or two, but I've been sick up to here of Spring Training and offseason baseball and all the coverage since January. Must be the age. I'm glued to my computer, waiting for the inevitable follow-up about how Syndergaard has matured from all of this and how he's since bonded with his potential teammates and how this is all proof positive that this is finally gonna be the year that Ordonez hits .320.

Shadows? I'm thinking "toilet stall."

That little pile of panini in the PSL caf trash is a bit of a Rorschach blot, innit? #hottakealert

Nobody has been more professional than Wright throughout his career, and he has always maintained he�s not afraid to call out teammates in private, but I thought some of the Mets teams in recent years needed him to be more of a sheriff at times... ... So, no, this wasn�t a case of a hot-shot rookie who needs an attitude adjustment. Ignorance is no excuse, however, especially for a team trying to change a culture of losing, so Syndergaard deserved to get chewed out by Wright.

... cleary (sic) the Mets think there is something missing with this kid. There is no way they could have been pleased that he didn't pitch well enough last year in Vegas to merit a call to the bigs (a year ago, we were all calling for him to make the Mets out of camp). And who knows, maybe he could have been called up in September, but the Mets didn't feel that would send the right message. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the Wright lecture and Collins basically beaming over the fact Wright set the kid straight. The Mets have turned down many trade offers for this kid. I think a year from now this Wright stuff will just be a "remember when?" type of deal, but Syndergaard's makeup certainy bares (sic) watching.

(This one by Grant Brisbee is pretty hilarious, though.)

"If a kid's not playing nice, you take his toys away,'' Parnell told Newsday. If Syndergaard wasn't literally making jet fighter sounds when he was putting the sandwich into his mouth, this reaction and subsequent quote seems somewhere between lunkheaded and alpha male. If a kid's not playing nice ... come on, man. This is what the veteran from Major League 5: Direct to Video would say in a horribly written scene trying to depict clubhouse dynamics. If a kid's not playing nice, you take his toys away, I mean ... Can you imagine Parnell's reaction in any other line of work? "Where's my box of peanut brittle?" "We were Skyping the regional office and you weren't there, so we SET YOUR PEANUT BRITTLE ON FIRE."
