Plunking Toward Postseason
Baseball in New York has now descended into the energetic predictability of mid-career Oasis. (Which ain’t all that bad. The Gallagher brothers nearly sold out Madison Square Garden last time around and, after a few vodka cranberries and an Excedrin Migraine with extra caffeine, they sounded damn good.) There’s possibility of another Yankees-Sox matchup to which noted philosopher king Derrick Coleman would say, “Whoopty damn do.” Then there’s the lure of another Subway Series. Seriously, who is really rooting for twelve days of Mike and the Mad Dog frothing over Torre versus Randolph or reprising their asinine argument of whether Billy Wagner is entitled to use “Enter Sandman” as his entry song? I’d rather have my molars removed without anesthesia. Or watch Dane Cook shout inane baseball promos for Fox. Oh crap, that last thing really happened.

David Wright! David Wright!
In last week’s magazine, David Amsden convinced us that Mets third-baseman David Wright is just about the greatest, charmingest, friendliest, cutest, talentedest, bestest baseball player ever. So it comes as only good news to learn that good people at Madame Tussauds feel likewise, today unveiling his likeness at the Times Square waxery. Is this town big enough for two David Wrights? One can hope.
