Things David Wright likes, according to his just-completed mets.com chat: His puppy Homer Virginia Tech football Cliff Floyd Willie Randolph Jay Horwitz Sleep Not having to face Billy Wagner Fastballs down the middle Howard Johnson Hearing "Let's Go Mets" at Yankee Stadium The chance to play at Fenway in 2006 Being a Met as long as they want him Not having himself on a fantasy team so he can win Representing the USA Uniform No. 4 but it was taken by the third-base coach Mixing up his AB music 3-2, two out, runner on third, ninth inning Traveling Texas over USC in the Rose Bowl The black home unis Spending time with his family Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria: "I'm not picky" In other news, he picked the Mets to finish first; thinks Cliff sticks bricks or dumbbells in his luggage; is called D-Wright, D-Dubs and Rook by his teammate; and remembers playing for the Little League Green Run Padres like it was yesterday Let's just say it wasn't Zabriskie @ CPF.

The black home unis You suck!

TheOldMole Dec 15 2005 01:43 PM

What's AB music?

Elster88 Dec 15 2005 01:44 PM

We young kids like the black unis.

Elster88 Dec 15 2005 01:45 PM

At-bat music.

Willets Point Dec 15 2005 01:45 PM

"At Bat" as in the timeless question: "What song do they play when Mike Piazza is at bat?????"

I like the black unis. And I'm old, slow and white.

I think declaring yourself in favor of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens is slightly more controversial than the stuff Wright listed. He's got a brother at Va Tech - explaining his football team of choice.

It's funny because of the avatar that goes along with the statement. Seriously - can you picture a whiter person?

Official ruling: Not funny. However, upon further review, officials ruled that, as a blood descendent of the original response joke in the thread, which itself was ruled funny, the penalty was offset by a baiting violation by the straight men. Repeat first down.

Repeat first down. Five yards for a football metaphor on a baseball board. First and fifteen. I mean one and oh.

Edgy DC Dec 15 2005 03:37 PM

I'd invoke the rule of three. You use an unexpected punchline --- funny! You repeat it in response to a somewhat different setup --- funny! Less funny, but funny! Points for adjusting! You use it a third time --- still less funny, but funny in a new different way in that it should be appreciated how you can maintain a pattern as the setup recontextualizes it. Third time usually gets as much applause ("Good show, mate!") as laughter, and, in a way indicates closure. Fourth usage of a punchline is by then so expected and so unfunny as to subtract from the impact of the prior three. Big faux pas.

Zvon likes: Homer Simpson Eagles football Pink Floyd Randolph the red nosed raindeer Mitzi Horwitz (grade 8) Sleep medication (then staying up on it) Not having to hear from Billy Wagner's wife ala Benson Slow, fat, fastballs down the middle to any Met batter Howard Johnson Restaurants (any still exist?)

Elster88 wrote: Everyone is missing the reference. To make a short story long: My line had nothing to do with JD's use of the same joke three times. This was me being jocular b/c earlier today I made a joke about Anna Benson and the BJ Bunch and I was told (in what I think was a lighthearted way) that since the joke was obvious it wasn't funny. So I was trying to joke around here, saying "I expected JD to say that, so is it funny or not". Of course, since I never post anything clearly this actually got everyone debating whether it's funny. But I don't really need people to explain this to me. I get it, I promise. lol. Now, that does make your post funny too. JD was using variations on a theme. It wasnt that what he said surprised me. It was that he said something using only 3 words. lol.

Elster88 Dec 15 2005 05:37 PM

LOL...I deleted out that post, thinking it was kind of pointless. Zvon got to it first.

Zvon Dec 15 2005 05:37 PM

did i bust a deletion? Thats kinda funny...lol.

With Piazza gone, I'm getting a man-crush on young David. ]boomeroshea: Who is your favorite Met of all-time and why? Wright: HoJo, because he was a great Met third baseman and he could do it all. Plus, he was my hitting coach in the Minor Leagues and told me to say that. boomeroshea: Who is the most physically strong player on the Mets, the guy you would least likely want to face in a UFC match? Wright: I could take everybody on the team (at the same time) but the strongest guy on the team is also the softest guy on the team, Cliff Floyd.

good stuff from Mr. Wright. He was also apparently dating my mom's coworker's daughter during the summer, I don't know if they are still going out.
