Although the past weekend ended with few positives to note, one was Pedro's performance on Saturday afternoon; the other was David Wright joining the 30-30 club Sunday afternoon. Despite an awful April, Wright has provided consistent all-around production since the beginning of May. He becomes only the 3rd Met to reach the plateau, along with Howard Johnson and Darryl Strawberry. He is also the 30th player in Major League history to accomplish 30-30 and only the fourth to do so before the age of 25. There's differing opinions regarding wright's MVP candidacy, but I believe he stands as good of a chance as anyone else out there. What he has provided this team at the plate, in the field, and in the clubhouse has not been replicated by any of his teammates. As a Mets fan it's been hard to find players who we have felt privileged to have on our team over the years. Wright is that guy and we are a lucky bunch to have him in our corner for years to come. Congrats to David on the his great season!
