As we are all aware, Hunter Pence was on fire after Mets fans amusingly and nicely sign troll'd Hunter Pence to get into his kitchen. He walked out with a loaded pastrami sandwich going 6/18, 2 HRs, 2 Triples, 2 Doubles, and 7 RBIs. This had the unintended inverse effect.
Then I thought to myself a perfect mark for our Mets: David Wright. I went to a Mets/Nats game in DC in Sep 2008 and he was hitting lasers and had a couple RBIs. He is a really nice guy as we know and perhaps with a few signs along the 3rd base line might give just that needed inspiration. To put it mildly, he is in a slump:
David Wright's struggles are hard to ignore to even his ardent fans. So far Wright is at all-time career lows in WAR (1.7), ISO (.118), wOBA (.316), and SLG (.388).
If the Mets have any shot to reach the playoffs, 8 GB NL east, or realistically a wildcard spot at 7 GB, Wright's bat has to come alive. Can I believe he could have remotely a second half in 2007.
So for inspiration to Nats fans here are a few potential signs:
David Wright slow creeps through a four-way stop
David Wright eats only one Pringle
David Wright doesn't refill his rental car
David Wright enjoyed Rocky V
