Amazin' Avenue Caption Contest

by Eric Simon on Dec 6, 2006 4:08 PM EST

UPDATE: Remember folks, contest expires at 5pm EST today, so get your captions in.

The Winter Meetings are underway in Orlando, Florida, so while we wait for interesting news to roll in, I though it'd be fun to have a caption contest. You know the drill: I'll post a picture and you guys post captions. The best captions will be put to a vote, and the winner will get a copy of New York Mets Vintage World Series Films DVD.

Here's the picture (click to enlarge):

Yes, it's David Wright doing Jebus-knows-what. And here's my sample caption:

"Wooo! That dude is totally coming on to me!"

Contest ends at 5pm on Wednesday. And... go!

(oh, and unlike the postseason caption contest that was a complete bust, I will actually follow through on this one.)

"Hey ladies, the David Wright Nest of Love is just up the stairs. I just gotta fix some drinks and then I'll be right up. I'm making Long Island Iced Tea by the pitcher, special for you!"

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Shouldn't it be "LI iced teas by the third baseman?"

nope

"By the pitcher," as opposed to "by the glass."

My guess is that you're just making a bad joke, but I figured I'd clear it up for everyone, since the stakes are so high and all.

Ok here goes:

You would think being the All-Star third baseman for the New York Mets would be enough. Sadly, this is what chicks want to see.

alternatively:

"Stand back, Reyes, it's merengue night for me, too! ¡Olé!"

The seaglass collared shirt might show off the forearms well (he's got a thing about his forearms I think) but that isn't what's winning him the attention.
