Things David Wright said Tuesday

Sometimes I accuse David Wright of never saying anything terribly exciting. Other times, I think he just understands baseball, and his measured responses reflect an appropriately measured approach to a long season.

On his 1000th hit: “It’s great. Baseball is a game of numbers. And I’m glad I could finally contribute to a win.”

On his struggles at the plate: “I’ve realized that there’s going to be some ups and downs over the course of a year. And I’ve been through one of the downs. Today was great, but we’ve got another game in a few hours.”

On taking advantage of the Dodgers’ defensive miscues: “Part of playing good baseball over an extended period of time is catching some breaks…. Baseball’s a funny game where, when you put into it what you’re supposed to, some of them will go your way.”

  1. I wince when this guy is boo’ed.

    “I may not agree with what you say sir, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”

    But c’mon, you know? This guys what we want out of all our pro-athletes. Lets appreciate what we’re getting to witness here.
