Carlos Delgado, who had three of the Mets’ eight hits, quipped, “It’s tough to win when you score one run a game.”

What exactly qualifies something as a quip?

That does^.

Quip: a clever remark.

It should say a smartass remark, but it doesn't.

It's neither clever nor smart.

Nice example of a smartass quip. When I first saw the title of this thread, I expected it would serve as a depository for many of my posts.

Don't feel bad; I thought the thread was going to be about me.
