1am Shadow

"This dirt makes good mustache wax."

D-Wright was absolutely scorching over the weekend in San Francisco. Might it be that David is shining on the west coast because his facial hair is that much more full at the late hours (by East Coast standards) at which he is forced to play? We can only surmise.

David’s 4 stolen bases against the Giants on Thursday night tied a club record set by Vince Coleman twice and matched by Roger Cedeno in 1999. But even more impressive is the following record, dug up by (who else?) The Elias Sports Bureau and reported by The New York Times:

David Wright is the first player since 1920 to have at least nine hits, nine runs batted in and five stolen bases over a three-game span, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

HotFootBlog.com reports a week’s worth of stats that are even more astounding:

For the week between May 11 – May 17, David Wright’s been hitting a red hot .556, with 3 doubles, a triple, 9 RBI, and a 1.366 OPS.

The very definition of “hot.” He’s been doing it in the clucth, to boot. That 10pm-1am shadow must be the key. It must be.

Week in Wreview

Sometimes a photo catches a person in a time of deep introspection.   A moment of reflection.  A instance of calm.  And other times it’s just a picture of a dude thinking about rape allegations and throwing firecrackers at kids.  You take the good, you take the bad and, well, what was the good again?  Oh, right, this week at The Wright Stache was the good stuff.  What was so good about it, you rudely ask?  Well, we:

• Took a trip down memory lane and enjoyed 1986’s Wild Boys, hot feet, rock solid leaders and the team that belonged to New York City.
• Got to better know the Metstache of Kevin McReynolds and Sad Stache of Dave Kingman.
• Saw the 1986 Mets win a  Stache-Off against the 1984 Tigers.
• Learned that Hall & Oates are a Wright Wreason for David to grow a stache.
• Detailed how America needs to embrace the mustache and all of its glare-reducing qualities.
• Yelled “Play Ball!” on the 2009 season!  It’s finally here!

Another lovely week in The Wright Stache neighborhood.

As usual, we’ll poke our heads in over the weekend to say hi and make sure that you kids are playing nicely.  We might even fix some snacks.

As always, we appreciate you stopping by our corner of the internet.  We know that there’s a lot of good porn out there, so we thank you for spending some time with us.
