Quote: Wright wants Players to be Ticked Off
David Wright, as quoted by Marty Noble on MLB.com, speaking after last night’s game…
“I can accept losing. Not easily, but every team loses here and there. But to
go out and give the effort we’re giving, to go out and lose without a fight…I just don’t think we have the fire I would hope we’d have.
The problem isn’t (with the coaches or manager), the problem is with us, in here…I want (my teammates) to take it personally when we lose. I want them to be ticked off…If it was a matter of talent, it’d be different. If we just weren’t any good, I could put my head on the pillow at night and sleep. But to got through the motions every night…Talking about it doesn’t get it done.”
According to Noble, Wright was the only player left in the locker room when these comments were made.
…don’t look now, but david just took a huge step towards finally becoming this team’s captain…the transition is almost complete…
