To date, no Met has died of skurvy.
David Wright has rejoined the Mets for Grapefruit League action after his WBC heroics and disappointing semifinal loss. Now he gets back to the task at hand: Growing a mustache so that the Mets can win the 2009 World Series. While he’s back with the team, he’ll be sitting out today’s friendly against the ghastly Astros in Kissimmee.
David Lennon speculates that Jerry Manuel will probably rest David until Friday to let him catch his breath and stay off his bum toe. But come Friday, it’ll be all David all the time. Except for when the Mets have an off day. Or when Jerry gives David a rest. But the rest of the time…
Fernando Tatis will play third today and star prospect Reese Havens will make his Grapefruit Leage debut when he starts at SS.
As always, Let’s go Mets!

Jose thanks heaven everyday for his sweet chin whiskers.
Did you know that David Wright drove in José Reyes 42 times last year? Did you know that that is the second highest figure for a pair of teammates in the last six years? Neil Best knows it. And did you know that the highest figure for teammates in the last six years is 49 by Gary Sheffield and Rafael Furcal in 2003 while playing for the hated Atlanta Braves? That cannot stand. David and José need to destroy that record. They need to be better hairmates.
You see, José knows the power of facial hair. The mustache isn’t his thing, though. We here at The Wright Stache firmly believe that you do not select your facial hair. Your facial hair selects you.
And José is a chin hair guy. That’s the way it was meant to be. And David is a mustache guy. We know this. And once he accept it, José’s chin pubes whiskers and David’s stache will be the most productive teammates in baseball history.
Don’t believe that facial hair is the key to teammate run production? Take a look at Sheffield and Furcal in that 2003 season.
Follow José’s lead, David. The mustache has chosen you. Answer the call.
