Did a little actual work today as I ventured to Queens for an appearance by Mets third baseman David Wright. I’m covering both teams this week.
David was meeting with kids at the Ronald McDonald House. He spoke to reporters before and after, mostly about the Super Bowl and Johan Santana. He likes the Giants and Santana, as it turns out.
I got to know David when I covered the Mets. One of his brothers attends Virginia Tech and we talked about the Yankees playing there in March. “I’m jealous,” he said. “I wish that were us. It’s nice of the Yankees to do that.”
David said he heard that all the tickets would be reserved for students. “It’s a big deal on campus that they’re coming,” he said.
I wanted to ask David if he planned to join John Franco on Pros vs. Joes on Spike but didn’t have the chance.
He may be the enemy, but Wright just seems to “get it,” the same way that Jeter, Brady and Jordan did. Now, all he has to do is win a fist full of rings and that comparison will make a lot more sense.
From all accounts, David Wright’s good people.
Joes vs. Pros is a fun show to watch. They were doing bunt singles the other day. Not that easy. Some looked like Jeter, some looked like Cano. Herschel Walker was on. What a trip if it’s true that he’s got multiple personality disorder.
from the last thread
Good question. I think its a sequal. As far as Stallone looking the same. Well lets just say that he looks like he has overdosed with B-12 for the injuries his stunt double has sustained during the years.
Dude, I want tickets to that game.
But then, I want a lot of things.
S.o.S.
HaHa. If Joan Rivers and Sylvester Stallone have found the “fountain of youth”, then I would gladly grow old gracefully. Have you seen that Joan Rivers GEICO commercial? Hilarious!

“Good question. I think its a sequal.”
It is.
What with the new Rocky and the new Rambo, it seems like he’s just starting his career over again.
I’m REALLY not looking forward to “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot II: This Time It’s Personal”
I heard the Rocky movie was actually pretty good, and I may even go see the Rambo movie. If he can keep bringing back his old flicks than power to him.
David is single right?
I read somewhere that He was doing Rocky and then RAMBO and then calling it quits from acting. He is only going to produce and stuff like that. He still got in to some pretty good shape for 60 years old.
You would date a Met?
He’s stayed in great shape. I wonder if he would hit more homeruns than Barry.
A rich Met, yeah why not? I’d still root for the Yankees, no one can ever and will ever change that it me.l
I don’t know Jennifer, a Met? Rich or not, you have to consider the consequences of such a decision.
Well, I suppose, as long as it’s not a Red Sox…
I can see it now…
“Jennifer, get off that ****ing Yankee blog now!”
So THAT’S why David Wright wore a VT hat at the Knicks game. . .
Okay before I get flamed, I would NEVER EVER date a red sox!!
Who cares about David Wright
my eagle’s fan g/f has been giving me problems all winter….could never consider a sox-fan!
I wonder what the “break-up” rate for “mixed” marriages between Yankee fans and Red Sox fans is.
mel: LMAO
And Jen would be like:
“No F—ing way.. Go blow another division lead, would yah?”
okay, maybe not that mean…
Rebecca,
“I’m gonna go play with the other third baseman. I heard he likes blonds. Oh yeah! Tell Reyes that he’s no Jeter!”
[No offense to Jennifer. Just role playing
]
Haha.
Mel :
The ‘break up” rate goes like this ….

I like Wright, seems like a good guy…
Big Apple Salute,
No comparison!
Loved this part:
(For the record, I’m not a Boston hater, just anything related to the Red Sox and to a lesser degree the Celtics)
there’s another NY Team?
My best friends younger brother goes to VT and is room mates with David’s younger brother. I’ve talked to David on the phone. Nice guy. I told him he seemed the Mets Jeter and he said thank you. I also asked him to stop hitting the ball so well in the Bronx because I’m a Yankees fan and he laughed and said he couldnt promise anything. Anyway, David seems like a cool dude.
