David Wright Has Risen From The Ashes Like A Phoenix!!! (AKA He Was Seen Playing Catch At Citi Field Today)

Just when the Mets season was at its darkest point and all hope seemed lost, a literal dead man has come back to life a day after Citi Field mysteriously lit on fire. Melisandre you beautiful witch you! The Red Woman has brought The Price That Was Promised back into our lives through the flames like she once did for another hero with a pure soul that was murdered way too young. The Lord of Light is good and He is just! I bet KFC and those Negative Nancies that cuncelled da saeson already feel pretty dumb right about now just as the good juju starts pouring back into the franchise. Sure things went back to typical Mets almost immediately after David was throwing in the outfield.
But Mickey Callaway turned our frowns upside down with the perfect movie reference.
That’s all I need from my manager these days. Keep the fan base loose when things go wrong, carefully manage our fragile starters without overtaxing the bullpen, and oh yeah make sure the team bats in the correct order. If Mickey can do that, the wins should hopefully follow. David Wright’s unexpected return has to mean nothing but good juju and great fortune for everyone in Flushing, right? RIGHT?
Okay, to be honest all I am asking from the Mets is to get me through the 4th of July. Once July 5th hits, they can turn back into the pumpkin that they always do. But just give me a baseball team to believe in until the fantasy football magazines start hitting the shelves and I can look at Saquon’s tree trunks running wild at a practice field in the Meadowlands complex. I know there is a chance David doesn’t make it to June 5th without a setback let alone July 5th. Over the next 48 hours, I am going to be watching my Twitter feed with one eye open fearing the phrase “David Wright felt soreness” will be tweeted from a Mets beat writer. But as the Phillies locker room says in big bold letters, Ya Gotta Believe!
