David Wright chose his team of sluggers to swing for the fences with him to represent the National League on Monday night in the Home Run Derby. He chose Carlos Gonzalez, Michael Cuddyer, and Bryce Harper. All 3 of those guys are very reasonable picks. However, the city of Pittsburgh was in the mood to throw a hissy fit about it because their beloved Pedro Alvarez wasn't picked by David to battle against Robinson Cano and his squad. Cano picked Chris Davis, Yoenis Cespedes, and Prince Fielder. Knowing that the Mets were going into Pittsburgh for a 3 game set right before the All Star Break starts on Monday, the Pirates' broadcasters decided to get in on the act. They told Pirates fans on the air to boo David Wright whenever he was at-bat. Boo David Wright? Captain Wright? In Pittsburgh!? It doesn't get much more unprofessional than this. David Wright is a pro's pro, and real class act. A man among boys. I've met David and he's one of the nicest guys ever. Even if I hadn't met David, it doesn't take a genius to see how nice this guy really is. The Pirates announcers embarrassed themselves by telling fans to boo him for something as silly as this. The whole thing is for the fans. It doesn't count in the slightest, so why make such a big deal about it? Not only is it embarrassing, but it gets worse. Carlos Gonzalez hurt his hand, and David chose Alvarez to replace him in the Derby. This makes it that much more embarrassing for them. The worst part about it though is the fact that they actually did boo him last night. From this point on no one should look at the Pirates as a cool story and a fun team to root for, because they're a bunch of scumbags and so are their fans.
