El Verano Taqueria has quesadillas this year. From the tasting event, I thought they would only be available in beef, but then I got there and there were pork, chicken and veggie quesadillas available too. I panicked and picked the carnitas, because in times of doubt I always choose the option that provides the most pork.

(For the purposes of this pursuit, by the way, I’m calling a quesadilla a sandwich. I’m not sure it is one, but since the Sandwiches of Citi Field series is not aimed at reaching a definition of a sandwich but at reviewing as many ballpark food options as possible, I’m liberal with the term.)

It comes with a lime crema for dipping and looks like this:

It’s pretty good, though not spectacular. The cheese is smooth and melty, salty but not overwhelmingly sharp, and the pork is tender. Since it’s just melted cheese and pork inside a pressed tortilla, though, the thing is pretty greasy. The strongest flavor comes from the lime crema, which is tasty on its own but strong enough in its tartness that it’s not clear it really goes with the quesadilla.

Which is a little disappointing, because the regular carnitas tacos from El Verano Taqueria remain about my favorite thing available at Citi Field. It’s still a solid quesadilla, though.

Everything about that game — especially the news about David Wright that came down during the middle of it — sucked hardcore. The good news is that it’s one game. The bad news is that Wright’s out for longer than that.

We should get a sense of how long soon, but for now we should probably prep for a few weeks of people who are not David Wright at third base and hope to be pleasantly surprised if he shows up before then. I really have no idea. How long do fractured pinkies take to heal?

Also, did you catch the replay of the slide-back-to-first in question? Guy broke his finger and didn’t even wince.

And then there’s this. Not the best night for the Mets’ defense. Neither of these men has the baseball or appears to know where it is:

Ruben Tejada is sweet, at least. I’ll be back here in the morning, rested and regrouped. Santana and Strasburg tomorrow. The best thing about baseball season is there’s always more baseball tomorrow.

Unless there’s a travel day or the season’s over, but you know what I’m saying. Back off bro.

If you’re playing at home — and I know you are — that’s Pascucci’s third in six games for the Bisons.

I meant to have more happening here this afternoon, but I had some meetings this morning and some video responsibilities to take care of, and now I’m heading to Citi Field. More once I’m set up and rolling there.

At the age of 29, and as he is left out of the industry trend of teams locking up franchise players, New York Mets third baseman David Wright has begun already a third act to his career. It is the comeback phase. After a career-worst season in 2011, when it appeared that a canyon of a ballpark was extracting the greatness from his career, Wright went back to his roots. He hit last winter at a high school batting cage with Nick Boothe, the baseball coach at Virginia Wesleyan who had worked with Wright as a teenager.

“He was like, ‘What is this?'” Wright said. “He said, ‘You’ve gotten away from what made you successful.’ I had tinkered with things so much over the last few years that I got further and further away from what worked for me.”

Click through and read the whole thing. Nothing mind-blowing, but a good and fair summation of David Wright’s struggles the last few years and his pending contract situation. It even notes Wright’s option situation and calls the possibility of a trade “remote,” which a) is true, and b) seems like a solid litmus test for accuracy and thoroughness in sports reporting. If you’re propagating David Wright trade rumors without noting that his 2013 option only belongs to the Mets, you’re either not paying attention, misunderstanding the situation, or misleading the reader.
