There's a running Dugout joke about David Wright -- his screen name is DudleydoWright, and he's the nicest, most psychologically stable person in all of Major League Baseball. While it's just a joke and a character, it has a weird basis in reality. Because David Wright can seriously do no wrong: Wright, 25, cut back on many possible endorsement deals and promotional activities this year because he did not want any of that to get in the way of what he and the Mets are trying to accomplish as they try to rebound from the Classic Collapse of 2007."I just thought that with what happened at the end of last year and with the way that I felt personally and where I wanted to get as a team, I thought it would be best suited to go ahead and forget about that stuff and basically just concentrate on doing whatever I personally individually could do to get ready for the next season," Wright said earlier this week.
I like David Wright and everything, but he makes me feel like a horrible person. He's the best player in the National League and he's turning down endorsements. I'm sitting here typing and trying to decide if it's too early to crack open a beer. (Can I get a special dispensation for Opening Night? Thanks, internet. I knew you'd understand.) Anyway, can David please get caught doing rails with Lindsay Lohan or something? Because this is just getting ridiculous.
