Today the Mets get back their unofficial captain and star third-baseman. \u00a0After all, how can the Mets take on the Goliath challenge of making the playoffs without their David?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Mets playoff chances appear to be hanging by a thread, despite still technically controlling their own destiny as far as the Braves are concerned. \u00a0While they are playing\u00a0just well enough to not fall out of it, they’re not gaining any ground either. \u00a0Another week without gaining ground possibly spells the end of Carlos Beltran as a Met, but looking to sell at the deadline or not, the Mets will get reinforcements. \u00a0David Wright returns tonight, and it looks like the road is marked for the return of Johan Santana. \u00a0I wouldn’t rule out Sandy Alderson making a trade that can help the Mets, both this year and in the future, at the trade deadlines. \u00a0Perhaps it’s unlikely, but you never know what’s going to be out there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We’ll start with David Wright. \u00a0He’s tearing up Florida in the minors, and here’s hoping he’ll continue to tear up Florida in the majors this weekend. \u00a0It’ll be nice to have him back. Everyone time someone mentions the Mets third baseman I instinctively think David Wright, and Daniel Murphy’s name starting with the same letter doesn’t help.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So welcome back David Wright, and here’s to a great end of the season for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
