1. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: February 28, 2012 at 11:21 AM (#4070256)Well, it worked for John Franco...
Well he can't, that's why he's grumpy. He needs the season to start!
Related: I think the neoShea dimensions of Citi will lead to a Wright rejuvenation and we'll be able to get the haul Reyes should have brought.
I dunno. The Yankees have won 26 World Series, not 112 or whatever.
Newsblog: The undeniable idiocy of baseball's Underdog Super Energy Pill "crisis"
It's hard to read too much into short interviews, but for Wright to say ANYTHING aside from the most uppity, company-man, generic quotes seems like an indictment.
"The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our finances — we did. [winks at Picard] But you can't hold a whole team responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole major league baseball system? And if the whole MLB system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our sports institutions in general? I put it to you, ??'s Biggest Fan: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"
Brilliant. Thank you
The only non-press conference/on-the-field interview I have seen with him was his spot on The Daily Show a few years ago, and boy what a snooze. He even had the biggest Mets mark asking him the Q's.
Fred: And we're just the guys to do it.
Looks like Wilpon could have used Underdog while being robbed blind by Madoff.....
There's no need to fear! Underdog is here!
when criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
the cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!
when in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
to right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!
Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with the New York Mets? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with the Mets! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major league baseball team, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
(But, really, debates are way more fun than primaries anyhow.)
But I hear a call of a lifetime ring
Felt the need to get up for it
And cut out the middle man
Get free from the middle man
