Baby Francesa's They Won't Come On My Show Quotes:
brooklynmutt:
Francesa on Church: “I don’t really care if Church comes on the show now or forever. Church is going to be out of New York long before I’m going to worry about whether he comes on my show or not. He’s not a big deal in any way.”
Francesa on Wright: “I think he’s being very immature because he’s had a straight ascendancy and he doesn’t want any criticism … He needs to grow up.”

Go F**K Yourself Mike!!
brooklynmutt:
David Wright and Ryan Church have refused to go on the air with WFAN’s Mike Francesa. Mike is down in Port St. Lucie and has tried to get both players to come on after bad mouthing both (for different reasons) during the off season.
So, now that it is official that they are not coming on his show Mike is in the middle of taking them both to task for it.
Francesa is claiming he...

Francesa vs. the Mets
brooklynmutt:
According to Adam Rubin, Mike Francesa has arrived in Port St Lucie. It doesn’t appear that either David Wright or Ryan Church will appear as guests. Good for them, why should the Mets accommodate one of the most biased and uninformed talk show hosts, when it comes to baseball, in the country. Personally, the Mets should give Francesa the cold shoulder from here on out. I don’t...

Manuel Comes Out Of Left Field →
Is Manuel really going to follow through on these bold ideas? In many instances last season, he didn’t. He threw ideas out there, made fairly definitive statements, then backed off the plans, did the exact opposite or acted as if he forgot his words completely. Most of that took place in the Mets’ troubled bullpen, such as when Manuel said he was going to take a look at rookies...
