Sounds great, I have a long list of "tips" and "helpful hints" to give to the Met's hitters present.
1) Make contact
2) Improve the situational hitting
3) Make contact
4) Again, improve the situational hitting
5) Did I mention to improve the situational hitting?
6) Good, then make contact.
7) And finally, stop making scrub pitchers look like Cy FRIGGIN Young.
8) Take care of business or the Braves just might flame your a*ses.
Hi I am a really big David Wright fan and would like to know when you guys are having another event.
