It's about time: Wright will ride the pine

Jerry Manuel announced during the post-game that David Wright will sit tomorrow night against the Mariners.

Wright, who had played every inning of every game before assuming the role of DH in Anaheim last week, will finally hit the pine for the first time all season.

Originally, Wright was charged with two errors in Monday's game, but the official scorer eventually changed one to a hit, leaving him with only on error. Wright also grounded out three times, once into an inning ending double play.

As pointed out during out in-game chatter on Mets Lounge, Wright has watched his average slip roughly 20 points since the beginning of June. Enjoy the day off, Wright. Rest up and prepare for the stretch run to the All-Star game.
