Down the stretch

David, I'm starting to get pumped for the postseason! I have a feling it's gonna be a fun October for you guys and us Mets fans.

David...I just want to say that from the moment I saw you in your first game as a MET your smile won me over. You just seemed like a real person who not only loved what he was doing but loved his fans as well. Your an amazing player and I cannot wait to see what your future holds in baseball. I've been a MET for 2 years now and I will be a MET for life. The team that your working with is incredible!!! The magic you feel watching all of you together is unreal. Keep up the hard work, enjoy yourself and good luck with the rest of the season. I am looking forward to being in the stands when you play the Florida Marlins. Good Luck with everything.
Michelyn

Great post! You guys will do great in October..I can feel it!! Good luck!

David,

I just want to say that I think it is amazing how long you guys play. I just started playing softball in college and already I am exhausted. Good luck in the post-season!

Devon

Thanks for the post David! I just got my playoff ticket package, and I'm THRILLED beyond belief to be able to cheer you guys on to the end. I'll be at Shea tonight as well, screaming my heart out. And Sunday too! I'm giving up a slew of Fashion Week events to be able to support the team in person. Fashionably, of course.

I'm really hoping Cliff Floyd is around next year, even if he's platooning. Once he has the surgery, he'll be up and running, and it would be great to see him retire at the top of his game. Not that I'm eager for him to retire!

Stay healthy, happy, and as positive as you've been all season. You're our special guy.

By the way... give our fondest regards to Willie. He's one of my favorite all-time Yankees!
I've been impressed with you guys all year. Great season!

I absolutely cannot wait for the postseason! Its a really exciting time for us METS fans! Keep doing what you are doing - its really good to know you will be with the team for a good long time.

Its also nice to know a couple of Virginians are on the team! (you and John Maine of course). I actually live in the town where John went to high school - Stafford, VA!

Lets Go Mets! Lets Go Mets! Lets Go Mets! I believe!

I'm really glad that you're getting a bit of a break - you seem to work so hard! I'm so excited for the postseason, especially with this fantastic team. I know you guys can make it all the way!

I've been waiting 20 years for another chance at the World Series and to me this is the best team we have put together since that time. Although we had a good team in 2000 we were still missing a few pieces. It has been such an exciting season for Met fans. My husband and I watch every game and then rewatch "Fast Forward" the next morning at 5:00 am! With you, Jose and Carlos at the cornerstone of this franchise this team will hopefully be competitive for years to come. Go Mets. Can't wait for October.

Let's go mets! Great job so far, and of course good luck making it to the end. You're amazing.

HEY DAVEY,

SO LISTEN, TODAY IS MY 24TH BIRTHDAY AND I'M GOING TO RED ROCK WEST ON 17TH AND 10TH. I THINK YOU SHOULD COME BY AFTER THE GAME A DO A SHOT WITH ME. YOU'RE SO NOT GONNA COME BUT THIS IS WORTH A SHOT LOL.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE

TRISH

David..Im also getting ready for October, as for now, i already got tickets to c u guys in Miami, which i know the mets will win that series....Go METS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey David,

Great to see you've come out of your slump - we were pulling for you the whole time and I have no doubt that you will make up for lost time. I have the utmost faith in the Mets for the postseason - you guys have the most heart, and the most fun, that I can't imagine you not going all the way. I'll be at the game tonight rooting you all on. Good luck!

- Rebecca

David,

Wow, awesome job as of late! I'm extremely glad that you're getting better pitches and getting back into the hitting and whatnot. Anyways, haha, you and Jose on the bench can be quite entertaining though to watch although as always it's alwahys better to see you on the field. So keep it up and thanks for playing such great baseball!

I love you David!

~shea

Hey David, I told my 8 year old son that this year he's not getting his perfect attendance award in school because if you guys go all the way, ticket tape parade here we come. I missed the one in 86 because my daughter was 2 at the time. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but Can't you smell it in the air. Love ya, Theresa

Heyy David!!! I went to the game yesterday and I just wanted to say that you and the rest of the guys played great, although you always play great! I know you probably get thousands of invitations to parties, but I am sending one to you at Shea and it would totally be a dream come true if you or any of the other guys could come! My family and I have been diehard Mets fans for as long as i can remember. And i especially love how you Jose Reyes have so much fun like with all those handshakes and everything. Anyways...Thanks, and have a great rest of the season. And good luck in the post-season!!!---GOTTA BELIEVE!!!
...your loyal and dedicated fan, Lily <333

Like everyone else I am very excited about October baseball this year instead of the football. The team has played so hard for us and we all wish you guys the best of luck. However, I am also, like many, superstitious. Nowadays we have blogs instead of newspaper columns, but don't forget what happened with David Cone in '88. You don't want you commnets on someone's blackboard as a rallying cry. As a Tides fan growing up, maybe you remember the pictures of Elster and Darling on the pitcher's mound after the '86 win. Here's to you getting to repeat it.

David,

I cannot wait until postseason. The Mets are going to own. Good luck with everything! I'll be at the game on the 19th cheering you and everybody on and throughout the season.

Kim<3

Hey David!
I don't like it when you don't play either, but that's okay. I know you're getting rest and that the next game you can give that much more. Good Luck in the next three weeks and then in the post season. I know you're going to do great. I really feel like this is our year, so let's go Mets!!

Love you David!!

--Kristen

I know you're not looking ahead to October just yet, but I just wanted to wish you good luck in advance! It's been quite a ride this season, through both good stretches and not so good ones, and you have been a complete and true winner through it all, David. I'm really going to miss these little posts when the season's over--thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself and your baseball life with all of the fans, it's been a genuine joy to read and it truly shows what a wonderful and outstanding person you are, both on and off the field. Go get 'em, tiger!! I'm positively bouncing out of my chair at the mere thought of you getting to play in your first October! You are so awesome, David. :)

Hey David,

I don't blame you for being fidgety when you aren't playing a game. Whenever i would sit out at a softball game, I can't stop moving. Meanwhile, I never really started in a game so I think i may have annoyed a few people...o well. i only started 3 out of 10 games so...yea. I wasn't even put in a position i enjoy playing! Always right field...

I KNOW you guys will make it to the world series! I know because I just do. Good luck!

~R.L.H~

(W)Right attitude dude, (W)Right attitude...a hit every at bat and a win every game :D! Good to see that competitive fire still burning within you! Let's Go Mets !!!

Hey David♥

~Betsy

P.S. I love that you called yourself a cheerleader! I am always cheering at my TV for you guys!

hey David,
just dropping a note from down here in va. beach,va. you and the team are doing awesome. in you're previous blog you mentioned that when your tongue is out, you're concentrating 100%.in the picture where you are bumping fists with Cliff Floyd, you must have been really focused so you wouldn't miss. ha-ha.

just a funny observation. METS RULE!!!!!

DAVID,
the last blog posted by davisfamof5@aol.com was written by eddie

thanks

METS RULE!!!!!!!

David,
You're helping my fantasy baseball team do well, THANKS! Good to see you got some rest, you guys play a long, hard season.

Take care of you!

Erica

Hey David,
Im one of the few mets fans in lil narragansett RI, and those of us that are here are once again proud to rise from the wood work as met fans. With the overwhelming numbers of sox and yankee fans around here its tough to get a voice out. BUT THANX FOR MAKING IT EASY!!!

Mets 06 -.... its the year

David,

Looks like your timing is back. You're swinging the bat much better lately and taking the ball to right. When you do that you're at your best.

From what I saw of Shawn Green the past few days, it looks like he's emphasized hitting the ball where it is pitched as opposed to trying to pull everything. As you would expect, the results have been positive. Tell him to keep his weight back and, as my college coach use to say, "see the ball, hit the ball."

It's great to see that you will be a Met for a while. Good luck down the stretch. Bring it home.

Steve

Hey David,
Yeah you guys on the team are not the only people happy that Cliff is back. So lets help he can keep that akelees(sp?) a little better. Also, duh as every MET fan has said, can't wait for the post season, only the second time in my lifetime. Well, I bet you guys will work really hard these last few series. Also. Im sure after you guys clinch will be excited, especially you rookie and guys who have never been there.

LEX(7)

Hi David, I know we are going to win this year. This is our year and nobody is going to stop us. The stupid Dodgers beat us tonight but we will beat the them tommorrow. It's also good that Belran and Floyd is back. Well goodluck against the Dodgers tommorrow. I know we are going to beat them. Bye. I love you. Let's Go Mets!!!!
-Veronica

You need the rest, too. No worries. One game at a time great approach... like I say this is a marathon not a sprint and we need you at that finish line ;)

Keep up the positive...

E-mail me!

Why do you tap your glove before you throw the ball to get an out? Doesnt it take a lot of time off the throw?

Hey David,

I just got home from the game at Shea tonight and even though you may have lost, i was still there in the end to support my new york team. I've been a mets fan since the day i came home from the hospital, literally. My dad couldn't wait for me to see my first game. I'm ecstatic that you have a 6 year contract with the mets and i hope you continue with the mets for your whole career. I will always be a fan of yours no matter what team you are on.

You are a devoted player, up for learning new techniques, a true player to your team and yourself. Don't worry about the media or the business side of playing, just go out there and play America's Favorite pastime game.Sometimes it can just be as simple as fun and games. Good luck with the upcoming games in Sept. and in the postseason. Stay healthy!

From: one of the faces within the crowd, your fan - Samantha

i love you!

David...You have the style, the charisma,the athletic ability, and the true love of baseball all rolled into one...Stay close to your loved ones...continued success...see you in the playoffs...Go Mets!!!!!!!!...Rob

Hey Davey! Sorry about last night, just know that stuff like that will happen so don't dwell on it. Your still young and you are still learning, don't worry Met fans are not mad at you, all you have to do is smile and it's alright.

It must feel really good that the magic number is so close for you guys, all of you must be so excited and overwhelmed.

I know for sure that you guys will make it all the way, i feel it is destiny and fate. This is our year and i'm so excited to see what will happen in the next few weeks.

I just want to wish you the best in life, your career and the many things that will happen along the way. You are a wonderful and genuine person, so please don't ever change. I truly hope i get the pleasure in meeting you.

Well, take care and the best of luck for you and the team. God Bless and LET'S GO MET'S!!!

Hey David! Sorry about last night, dont worry you'll win today. I cannot wait until October, you guys are going all the way, no doubt about it. Well, continue what your doing, and all of the best to you and the Mets. I LOVE YOU!!! You're the best.
Emma R.

Great game today dude, 3-3 with the clutch hit that delivered the tying and go ahead runs. You rock bro!

Brother Cliff is back on the prowl in left field, Pedro's threw a simulated game, and the pitching has been superb lately.

A mere 21 games remain until the playoffs...oh baby !!!

Go get'em Davey.

Jack

Hey David!
Tough loss last night. On the bright side, nice win today! You did great, 3-3, 2 RBI's! (: Nice play today at third in the rundown. I am looking forward to October. You guys will do great, trust me. Well, good luck tomorrow. I'll be at the game and HOPEFULLY I WILL GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH! Keep up the great work! <3, Katie

Heyy David!
Great game today...3-3 with 2 RBIs! Great way to come out of your slump! Hey...you never know if you keep up the 3-3 games and maybe add a few homers in there...look whos the ♥NL MVP♥! Great job in the rundwon with Maddox! You do realize that only because of you the Mets won, right! Well, I'm definitely going to the playoffs with you♥ guys...the tickets are coming!

I LOVEE YOUU AND UR HOTT(sry i was waiting to say that lol)

Mrs. Nicolette Wrigh♥t >>>5

LETSS GO DAVIDD!!!♥

You guys are awesome...I have been a mets fan for over twenty years and am really excited about this postseason lets go for it all.....

David
Hope the Mets go all the way! You can tell there is such great chemistry among the players. METS fans have waited a long time to have a great team like the 2006METS. I was at a game in August with my nieces and nephew. We were sitting right behind third base, holding a sign for you.

I just want to thank you for waving to them. It made their day!

Hey David,

Home stretch, what am I going to do after you guys end after the world series?. Make it happen. I know it. Mets are making it, you guys are going far, so make it happen. The line up is amazing, the pitching is getting its wins, the defense is strong and we got it. Omar Minaya did great as GM in getting the right guys for a promising 06 season and future. I tip my hat to you guys. Great game today! Nice clutch hitting, going 3-3, very nice. Keep it up. Good luck with the stretch and getting far!

Stephanie

David, you look so skinny there!! =[ Eat something! I LOVE YOUUU. ♥ - Kate

Hey David,
Great game today going 3 for 3 with 2 RBI's! The Mets won because of you, and now our magic number is a mere 6! Can't wait till the postseason, that will be exciting. I love you sooo much. ur the BEST.

Emma R.

David,
I am struck by how much you resemble a friend of mine, who lives in County Cork,

Ireland. His name is also Wright. He asked

me to find out if your people are from

Ireland. We would love to know, if you

don't mind.

Go Mets!!

kat

Heyyyyy
i never really thought about it

but when i went to shea stadium last monday

i saw so many people with Wright t-shirts on

and i was thinking that i loved watching you play and how you do everything for everyone instead of yourself

and i never realized how many people loved what you do as much as i do

i think its really cool for you to have so many fans that really adore you

i am so impressed with how you play the game

you barely ever make and error

and know so much about the game

i love watching you play

keep up the good work

you hold the mets together on and off the field!

hopefully i will see one of the games in the post season

love

yet again another adoring fan

whitney!

David:

For starters congrats to you and the entire Met team, you gaves are giving us something to smile about, and look forward to watching baseball in Oct instead of watching the NY football teams lose. Growing up in NY in the 70's Seaver was our hero and called the franchise, I think its about time u start wearing that title and the Mets name you Capt of this team. As much as Carlos and Carlos are stars, I feel the team stars are U and Jose. By the way good luck with you and Jose and Carlos going to Japan to respresent MLB and the Mets. One more thing, I read where Jose goes home every night and his mom cooks his dinner, have you been there for dinner yet!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ETHIC AND YOU ARE OUR CAPTAIN OF THIS TEAM.

Hi David, good game today against the Dodgers. You went 3 for 3 and got the game winning hit. Even though the Dodgers took the lead befor 2-1, I knew this game wans't over. In the end I was right because we won 3-2. The double play that ended the game was a great play to. Wanger struck out the batter and then Stinett threw out the runner at second, we win. It was a good game. Well goodluck tommorrow against the Dodgers. Let's beat them and then we could decrease the magic number to 5. I can't wait to see the game tommorrow to because I am going to that game. I'm looking forward to seeing you tommorrow. I love you. Bye. Let's Go Mets!!!!!
-Veronica

Sorry to bother you again. I just found out that the Marlins beat the Phillies. So now our magic number is 5 and hopefully we could decrease the magic number to 4 tommorrow. Let's beat the Dodgers tommorrow. Love you. Bye. Let's Go Mets!!!!!
-Veronica

Hi David,

I can't wait for October to come around. I have been a Met fan for 3yrs now and I am so excited for you and your teammates. I am hoping to be able to make it to a playoff game and REALLY hoping for a World Series game. I know I should just concentrate on the games ahead, but it is just so exciting!! =)

It is so fun to watch you and your teammates play together as a team. You can tell that you guys genuinely care about eachother and help eachother out when you are in a slump. I look forward to when you or Jose make a great play so I can see your handshake. It is great to see two young players that get along so well. I am very excited and grateful that you and Jose will be around for a LONG time. Mets Forever!!

Keep up the great work and I hope to see you in October.

Let's go Mets,

Rachel Fisken

PS- You are my favorite player and I hope you win the NL Aaron Award! You deserve it!!

hey David,

wow, the season's almost over and you continue to amaze. I was Shea today and you were on fire. Singles, doubles, RBIs. all the opposing teams in the post-season won't know what hit'em.

I tried to get an autograph today, but people swarm on you like flies. Oh well, there'll be plenty of more games. maybe I'll see ya at an away game.

WEll, this is it, the final stretch. You've had good times and some serious struggles. Your on your way to becoming a New York Met legend and have no sign of stopping. fight hard, train strong, and play like you've never played before. Go out There and show em who's boss!

LET'S GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Dan

P.S. i ot some pics of you at the Met game. glad to see your keeping your tongue in mouth

=D

hey David
I haven't been this excited about the Mets since 1986 I stuck with them through thick and thin and when you field and you get hits you are the greatest. Even when you do't i'm there for the Mets. My daughter was only five years old when the 86

mets went to the world series but she shares with me the thrill of the Mets today. GO METS

love ya

luicy

nice post go mets!god it is hard to type with a broken right wrist.Of course i am right handed too.

THAT WAS A VERY NICE MESSAGE YOU WROTE. ITS FUNNY THAT YOU AND JOSE REYES ARE LIKE CHEERLEADERS.HA HA HA HA. WHEN I PLAY MY SPORTS IM THE LOUDEST PERSON CHEERING (SOCCER) AND WHEN IM IN THE GAME I HELP CONTROLL EVERYTHING. ALSO IM THE LOUDEST PERSON IN THE STANDS AT YOUR BASEBALL GAMES. THE PESON THAT WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF ME SAID "WOW U ARE A TRUE METS FAN" SO CONGRATS ON EVERYTHING. ALSO I NO YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAT TO THE WORLD SERIES.

I got this e-mail and had to share:
HER DIARY

Sunday night - I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent.

I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing."

I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving.

I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you too"

When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

He just sat there and watched TV, he seemed distant and absent.

Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed and to my surprise he responded to my caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else.

I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I was going to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.

I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.

I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.

HIS DIARY

Today the Mets lost, but at least I got laid.

David,
We met in Port St Lucie your first spring with the team. I took a picture of you with my girls, and now I look at it, you were so young! The following spring we got another picture and you signed the previous one. This year you were nice enough to take yet another picture with my daughter (whom I have asked you to marry) LOL. and you signed last years photo. I don't know if you remember or not, but you promised me that spring 2007 you will again sign the one i took. you said "it's a date" and I'm gunna hold you to it. :)

I grew up @ shea stadium and my girls have been Mets fans since they were born (they had no choice) We now live in Florida but the Mets will always be "our team". I proudly display my Mets license plate on my car, because I want the whole world to know that I love my Mets. We thank you for helping make our team become #1 and we cannot wait for the series to begin! You are a doll. see you in the spring.

Hey David,
i just want to say thank you so much for making yesterdays game so exciting for me!! i was there and i was screaming my lungs out when you got that clutch hit to take the lead!! My sister is going to the game today, but only so she can get your bobble-head doll for me!! i am so excited for the post-season to start. the last time i went to a post-season game was when Robin Ventura hit that grand slam single in the 15th inning against the braves to win the game. now that was very exciting, but im sure that this year will be even better!! Thank you for everything you have brought to this team, i am looking foward to watching you on this team for a very long time!! I LOVE YOU!!! xoxoxox ~Sam

Hey David, Love you and love the Mets. Been to a bunch of games this season, and sit behind home plate so I can watch you. Unfortunately, I dont get SNY, so was wondering if you are ever available to swing by after the game to give me the play-by-play? :-P In all seriousness, would love to meet you in person. Hopefully I can get to batting practice one of these days. Keep swinging the bat, you are awesome. XOXOXOXO and many smooches!

Michele

Dear David:
I really try to enjoy what the Mets have wrought (no pun intended). This team won't match the one in 1986 (108-54), unless it goes 20-1 the rest of the way, but then, this team has dominated the league almost as much. I just sit back and enjoy, especially when you whack the baseball.

I just bought the trilogy of "Back to the Future". In the opening of the first one, Doc Brown says he wants to find out who wins the next 25 World Series. I wanted to say, "The Mets will win the next one in 1986!" Now I think I'll have more than one to mention.

(Yes, I know you were three on Saturday, 26 October 1985, but then does it matter?)

OCTOBER HERE WE C0ME !!!!! thats all i have to say

<3 lauren

hey David!
just wanted to say great job ystrdy! I'm sure that u will keep up all the great work! You are my favorite Met ever!

luv you forever

♥ Patty

Hi David,
My name is Aja. I am 15 years old and I live in a rural town in Allegany County. My mom is currently working on a book with a retired mets player named Lenny Randle. We watch every mets game together and we are always talking about how we love watching you and Jose. We call you the two youths. I play softball for my high school and I love watching your game to see how I can improve mine. You are an encouragement to be and my siblings. I love the posts. Thanks for being an amazing player,

Aja

David,

Congrats on your recent hot streak! I'm sure that both you personally, and you as in the Mets, will finish off the season with a bang...maybe even a Series ring? I hope so!

With love,

Ashley

Cliff!!! i love Cliff!! I'm really mad he wasn't playing on labor day. hey David thanks for the autograph that day! it's great that even though you're a super rich millionair you still give time to the fans.
thanks a bunch! and have fun with the rest of the season!!

~kelsey

Hi David, today I went to the game, I had so much fun but I'm sad that we lost. Trachsel just didn't have it today and I think Willie waited to long to take him out. I can't believe we lost. When I was on line they said that only 12 and under could get the David Wright Bobble head and I got mad, but in the end I got my bobble head. If they would've never gave me my bobble head, I would've lied and say that I'm 12.(even though I'm 15) I would've died if I didn't get my bobble head. Also I had seen you in the dugout, when you was swinging from on top of the dugout. You was funny. The play you made at third to was a great play. In the end we lost 9-1 but it's okay because we will win the next game. I still had fun anyway. Oh yeah, you know I saw a girl with a shirt that said, "Mrs.Wright". I was so mad to. It's okay though because I know that's an imposter and I'm the real future Mrs.Wright. I hope I could meet you in person one day though. You don't know how happy I'll be. I'll be going crazy. Well let me let you go. I'm sure you got a lot of other commets to read. Bye. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WITH ALL MY HEART. Le't Go Mets!!!
-Veronica

Hey David!
I was at the game today, but we lost. ): I had fun anyway. Nice diving play today in the second inning! (: Too bad Trachsel couldn't get a win. I waited an hour and a half for you to come out of the dugout to give autographs, but you never came out. It's okay though. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get a David Wright Bobblehead, even though it was for kids 12 and under. (I'm 17, but usually they don't care that much.) Apparently they did today. I was also mad when Willie took you out of the game today in the eighth inning. I guess he was trying to rest you. I was reading your new post and saw that you don't like getting the day off. I don't blame you. I hate it in softball when I get the day off! It really annoys me. I screamed that I loved you today, but I doubt that you heard me. I also waved to you. Good luck against the Marlins tomorrow night!

<3, Katie

Magic number has been reduced now...you guys can sit back and relax. It's a nice feeling as a fan and a player to now it's just a matter of time. And it is, about time! I hope you guys enjoy the moment and gear up for what's ahead- Cardinals? Dodgers?...It won't matter because you have the best record in MLB and will, God-willing, coast to the WS...Good Luck in Miami!-Joy P.S.- Reyes smoked it again!!!

Loved your game with the Dodgers .. nice goin' .. 3-3 .. ur the man =D .. keep it up guys & u just might clinch the national league & go to the world series

I'm a little concerned. I mean it's great to make the playoffs, but a quick exit is not a good thing. I mean many of us remember the last time a heralded Mets team went toe to toe with the boys from LA in the playoffs...Kirk Gibson ring a bell ?
Our 4-11 record against southpaws (ever since we traded X) is my primary concern given the Dodgers put in a couple against us this weekend and split the series. They proved they can stay on par with us and if Penny could pitch anything near his capability...look out. We are sorely missing the services of Xavier Nady. When that trade went down to re-acquire Roberto Hernandez I was baffled and the pickup of Manny Mota makes the deal look even worse. Granted, who would of thunk Mota would become available, but Roberto Hernandez...dude's a good pitcher but he's lost a little on the gun since last year. I mean Sean Green is a great pickup but lefties can bust him inside and Lastings just doesn't have the mileage to compete in the majors yet (he's still two years away).

David, when going up against the sinister hurlers, you, CarlosB, LaDuke, JVal and JRey have got to carry the ballclub.

I know you guys will...this is our year ! Let's GO Mets !

David, I was with some friends at Saturday's game. You are really finding your stride at the right time of the year. Way to go man. I am 43 years old and following the Mets since my first game at Shea in 1969 with my Uncle Paul (may he rest in peace). My knowledge of baseball is very sharp. When the Mets win the World Series this year and you receive your W.S MVP award remember that I said it today first. This year and many more winning season's are inevitable. We will show the people in the country what real baseball National League style is all about. I hope the Yankees make it to the show (no pitching)so we can show everyone who the real baseball team is in New York NOW!!! My life is filled with moments of the present not trying to relive the past. The New York Mets will always be NYC and the boroughs real baseball team, not a $200 million side show of primadona's like A-Rod (Mr. K) or Sheff or Giambi. So to you and all the boys of summer, Jose's, Hernandez's. Carlos's, Cliff, Shawn, Endy and Paulie and the entire pitching staff, players and coaches tell them Brooklyn Dave with son Jacob Hayes Kaplan (future NY MET he is 12) and Carly Reilly Kaplan the future is now. LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAGIC # IS 4!!! :)
(SOON TO BE 3 AFTER TONIGHTS GAME...AND MAYBE EVEN DOWN TO 2 IF PHILI IS PLAYING)

WOOHOO..LETS GO METS!!!!

LOVE YOU!! PLEASE STAY A MET FOR YOUR WHOLE CAREER, NY <3'S YOU!!

'Bout time you updated! I was hoping you'd talk about the 20th Anniversary ceremony because I wanted to know if you guys had fun with the men who your current season is compared to, but alas, que sera sera. I'm glad you guys are pumped for the post season. I've waited 20 years for this and I'm loving watching such an energetic, charismatic, and let's face it, totally weird Mets ballclub dominate. To all you guys, keep giving it your all the whole way; it's gotten you this far, so keep it goin' for us all!

Lots of Orange and Blue luv,

Jillian

do you think bob wickman trains in the weight room often? =]

Ok well i meant to post this earlier....but what ev.

This day (9/11/06) is so incredible for NY fans since the tragic events 5 years ago. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember sitting on my porch from my appartment watching the smoke from the Towers blow southward with my brother at 5p.m. until sunset. It was so uncertain-life was so real then. I know you guys lost today and I found it very strange: ( D.Williams allowed 9 runs/ 11 hits)...It was strange. I also remember the day after 9/11- the daily lotto# was 911. My uncle was supposed to be working on the 57th floor in the South tower . God-willing and luckily, he was 'let-go' due to cut-backs months before the event. Not that I mean to bring a downside or bore you with the events that occurred. But, as N.Y. remembers this tragedy, the light still remains as Met fans remember 9/21- Piazza's payback to the events and hopefully you guys can turn this day (5 years later) as a memorial for fans by completely dominating the field on that day- Make 9/21/06 a day to remember in Mets history if possible [if not, make any other post 9/11/06 day prior to the playoffs the best offensive statement that the Mets can make and show the rest that the Mets are the best team in MLB---Can the Met offense get 20 runs??--It'd be nice and it could be done!]. Don't doubt yourselves or give up ever! God Bless,Joy

Wow - great bare-handed play. Have you ever thought of giving up baseball, moving to England and playing cricket? Oh, wait a minute, I don't think professional cricketers make the same kind of money! Darn it. Please win for me tomorrow. Your devoted UK fans have to stay up so late to watch you, don't get to bed until about 4 in the morning! And what's with all those empty seats in Florida? Has anyone got something better to do than watch the Mets?

David,

I remember watching you play in Norfolk Virginia in your last game before you were called up to the Major Leagues. I was completing my annual 2 week training in the

U.S. Navy Reserves. When I returned to New York you were playing 3rd base for the Mets and you hit a home run.

I was excited to see a young player come up with the Mets who has power and can hit tough pitches on both the outside part of the plate and on the inside part of the plate.

Some players have trouble with pitches in certain areas of the strike zone but you seem to be able to drive the ball to right field if it is on the outside part of the plate and keep your hands inside of the ball on inside pitches very well. I have seen you drive tough inside pitches to center field or to the opposite field at times.

You have good balance, a good weight transfer and good hand speed. Your able to stay back enough to hit or foul off nasty changeups and you aren't bothered by the curve ball to much either.

You are able to get deep into counts and get good pitches to hit. This is good but I think you could hit for more power by being a little more aggressive early in the count. I have seen you take pitches early in the count that you could drive out of the ball park.

You carry yourself with a determined confidence and seem to have a professional demeanor. This is an indication that you have developed good habits based on hard work. This fact reflects well on your high school coaches and possibly is due to some positive influence from your family.

Good luck in your career.

Dr. Christian Rodriguez

david!(d-dub)

One day i will meet you, and you will sweep me off my feet. and vice versa. =]

You wait and see! Itll happen!

David,
Sorry that you guys lost last night. I guess it's better to lose now than in October. By the way, nice barehander in the second inning! (: Hopefully you guys will win tonight. Good luck tonight. Keep up the fantastic work D-Dub!

<3, Katie

David,
My 15 year old son had the pleasure to meet you at the ESPN Zone in NYC last August after you played the Braves. He had his picture taken with you. Is there any way I can get the picture to you and have you sign it for him. He turns 16 soon and this would be a great gift. He idolizes you and looks up to you as a role model. Keep up the great work you do as a NY Met and also the image you have where kids look up to you. GO METS. Thanks Jim.

Mr.David Wright. im am so excited for the next few weeks for many reasons.
my birthday is in a little less than 2 weeks and my sweet 16 party is in less then 3 weeks. on my real birthday sept 24, i am going to be at the Met Game and im soo excited b.c for some reason i havent been to shea alot not as much as last year.

lets win this game behind..even though you are down 2-0 its okay there no reason why you cant bounce back. i adore you in everway you are a great person and role model..keep up the good work and i hope i can see you soon.

love always

Kimberella

stephh <3

Hey David!
Nice win last night! I didn't get to watch the whole game because I had school the next day. I watched the news this morning and heard you guys won. Believe me, if I could have watched the whole game, I would have. Great job, 3-5,1 RBI! (2 doubles- go D-Wright!) Well, good luck tonight.

<3, Katie

Hey david,
I am your biggest fan. I would love to meet you one day, that would be so awsome. I am also a third baseman, isnt that awsome.

From

Adam

Hey David,
Nice game last night even though you really have nothing to worry about considering your 16 games ahead of your division,but that doesnt mean you should stop winning. I'm routing for you on your next game against the Marlins tonight. Hopefully Tom Glavine will throw a good game becasue he is your best pitcher right now considering everyone is injured.GO METS.

From,

Adam

P.S- email me sometime i would love to chat with you.

Hey David,
It's too bad you went into that mini-slump after the all-star game. You were on target for MVP,not that you're numbers aren't great. But your homerun pace dropped considerably. Do you think it had to do with the homerun derby?Good luck in the playoffs.Hope to get tix.

from,

Brian

Dang that was a hard collision...you should have slid leg first Dave and spiked Olivo. Good to see that you shook it off though.

Jack

hey david,
I've been scouting you for about three years now you are my idol. You are such a great player and have such a good attitude. Thank you for setting such a great example for me.

p.s. please write me back.. from Aaron

Well u didn't clinch tonight,but, you have been outstanding in showing the marlins you can't be kept down even after that awful loss the first game of the series. That's what I admire about this team- the guts to show that your team can't be messed with. The comeback of this series goes to show the fans that it ain't over until it's over...that's what I love about baseball. You never count teams out. Even mistakes/errors other teams make which seem to occur magically show that 'make mistakes and the Mets will make you pay!'...That's the miracle/magical/amazing feeling you get as a Met fan. Real baseball! Ups-and Downs and rollercoaster rides all season were so worth-it! Delgado in this series was hot! And, Lo Duca ( even playing through his thumb injury allows me to respect him as a player-even though I still miss Piazza in his position). Wow! So close to the clinch which will probably be set with Pedro's return, however, I wish you guys would hold out for Monday's game so you could clinch at home... Great going and keep up the good work!:+),Joy

Well David, I'm not a 13-? well however old your female fans get, probably 115 or something like that, but I do have a great tip for you. Your next bobble head... totally has to have it's tongue out. That would be hilarious. Well anyway, you're amazing, in many ways. Especially cause you're so humble. Let's all just keep believin'. Even though this year won't really be a miracle. And remember your team has the greatest fans in the world. We all love all of you, no matter your mistakes. Even if you don't make it, heck you've got 90 wins! 90! BEST RECORD IN ALL OF BASEBALL!! ALLL!! That's sick. Oh hey I'd love to get something signed by you, but I can't get up to the games very often, maybe we can work something out. I do run a cigar store...

Anway, Thanks David, your fan,

Joe

Hi David! It's great to see how far you and the team have come. Magic number is 2!! Woo hoo! Keep hitting, keep smiling and good luck!!

Hey David, It would be so cool if you did a signing at Build A Bear in Manhattan. I took my son last year to meet Cliff Floyd and in June he got to meet Trachsel and Heilman and it was on his birthday. You and Reyes should do it together. Take Care, Theresa

Congrats on the 90th win. Its always so exciting to watch the team and read your blogs.
Keep em' comin'...

Best of everything !

i had a dream i talked to you about lebron james. strange.

Hey David!
Nice comeback in the top of the 11th! (: Magic number is 2! Oh yeah! That was a pretty hard collision at the plate last night, I was so worried
