More Sage Quotes From Nuke LaLoosh Wright

The NY media made yet another mistake yesterday when they sought out Nuke LaLoosh for his bland cliches' on the current direction of the Mets.

On the recent moves that the Mets and Commander Sandy have made:

"I'm excited with the direction the organization is headed."

Other than the end of last season, have we ever heard Nuke say he was unhappy with the direction of the Mets?

On Carlos Beltran and his possible switch from CF to RF, the wise one had this insight:

"IF THAT'S THE CASE, I THINK THEY'RE HANDLING IT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HANDLED. YOU TALK TO THE PLAYER FACE-TO-FACE. YOU KIND OF GET A RESPONSE FROM THEM. IF THAT'S WHAT THEY FEEL IS GOING TO MAKE THIS A BETTER TEAM, I HOPE CARLOS IS ON BOARD. I'D BE SHOCKED IF HE WASN'T." "IF HE CAN MOVE AROUND THE WAY HE WAS MOVING AROUND A FEW YEARS AGO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY QUESTION HE CAN PATROL CENTER FIELD," WRIGHT SAID. "BUT IF HIS KNEES ARE GIVING HIM A PROBLEM, MAYBE IT'S BENEFICIAL."

BRILLIANT!

About the search for a new manager, and the possibility of Terry Collins being the next manager:

"The only work I've done with him was when I got to spring training early and he was kind of running things. He seems like a great guy who brings a lot of fire and passion to the game."

Nothing against Collins, but if they were to ask him about Charles Manson running the Mets, Wright would surely say:

"He is getting up there in years, but the passion and thought he puts into life will surely translate to wins on the field. With him at the helm, we should certainly slaughter the opposition..."

And finally, Wright's view on recently terminated clubhouse manager Charlie Samuels:

"It's sad. I wish him the very best."
