Quote: Wright says Mets Stink

Following last night’s loss to the Dodgers, David Wright said, according to the Daily News:

“I just think we stink right now, we’re just not very good… When you don’t pitch, you don’t hit, you don’t play defense, you’re not going to win very many games.  We’re not playing very good baseball… I don’t think anybody’s having very much fun right now.”

well, the 39,000 people in Citi Field last night would probably agree, because i know we’re not having a ton of fun either

The headline to Ken Davidoff’s column for Newsday today reads, “Maybe they should call it Piti Field.”

According to Davidoff, “Citi Field has turned into the world’s largest dentist’s office. The patrons have grown so numb to the pain, they barely acknowledge it.”

…he’s right… it was a strange and depressing crowd last night…i shudder to say this, but the crowd last night reminded me of the low, disinterested energy from the mid-90s…
