They've always been around - hell, are they any different from groupies in their mentality?<BR/><BR/>I'm not concerned with the bandwagoners as much as I am about Wright being corrupted by it all. He's got that "mom and apple pie" attitude down pat, but this city can very easily corrupt, and I'm just not looking forward to the Page Six stories of him, Supermodel____ at Club_____ getting into an altercation with the bouncer, whilst in a drunken stupor.<BR/><BR/>I hope he keeps level-headed because you never know with these guys. I don't expect him to be an alter boy (sans priest!), but I certainly hope he can maintain his genuine appreciation when it comes to the game and the fans. <BR/><BR/>For those wondering: In hot pink marker: "Roger McDowell 4-ever"...um, who was the closer BEFORE him? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146889390406180302006-05-06T00:23:00.000-04:002006-05-06T00:23:00.000-04:00Coming from a Mets fan (and a 20 year-old woman), ...Coming from a Mets fan (and a 20 year-old woman), I don't find Metstradamus' comments sexist at all...he certainly wasn't insinuating that <I>all</I> women are D-Wright fans for all the wrong reasons. I'm a born and raised Mets Fan (with a capital "F") and I think Wright as the future face of this team bodes very well for the Mets...he's got it all: the tools, the great work ethic, great rapport with the media, and sure -- the looks are a bonus, as well. As a true baseball fan, a woman, and a current resident of Boston, let me tell you -- it bothered me just as much to see girls in their pink Johnny Damon tee-shirts, girls who have since stopped "watching" the games (i.e., checking out Damon's ass) because he moved to the Yankees. Well said, Metstradamus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146573629333478932006-05-02T08:40:00.000-04:002006-05-02T08:40:00.000-04:00yo jabair, i'm sure you look like brad pitt, haha....yo jabair, i'm sure you look like brad pitt, haha. yeah right, maybe more like jafar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146488237430714722006-05-01T08:57:00.000-04:002006-05-01T08:57:00.000-04:00jabair,if you want to cross-dress, you'll have to ...jabair,if you want to cross-dress, you'll have to buy your own bra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146403333250283852006-04-30T09:22:00.000-04:002006-04-30T09:22:00.000-04:00jabair ...keith says he's looking for an intern to...jabair ...keith says he's looking for an intern to work for him and you'd be perfect for the job. if interested, write him at justformenkeith@sny.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146345119631354702006-04-29T17:11:00.000-04:002006-04-29T17:11:00.000-04:00D-Wright replaced Wiggy who replaced Fonzie.

They could name a bunch of old ones, but couldn't nail down the Walley Pipp of the question. As for me, I was til recently a lapsed Met fan (lived elsewhere...), and I can't be sure who DWright replaced--Ventura? Ray Knight?

He was a jerk to say what he said. But I don't find what Metstradamus said sexist at all. There is a lot of truth to what he said about the bandwagaon Yankee fans being drawn to Jeter's looks. I bet the Mets will get a whole lot of new fans because, well, frankly Wright is hot. I've been a Mets fan for ages so I'll root for the Mets even if Gilbert Gottfried were the face of the team. But it sure is nicer to look at Mr. Wright than Gilbert Gottfried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1146287084304860882006-04-29T01:04:00.000-04:002006-04-29T01:04:00.000-04:00You know, I just thought of something...the most s...You know, I just thought of something...the most sweeping generization of women on this post was when Ms. Anonymous said that my post only served to "alienate any woman reading it".
