Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl New York Mets third baseman David Wright doesn’t need a goofy cartoon character to inspire him for the 2012 season. Seeking to supply some inspiration for a team that is being picked by many to finish last in the NL East and that shed about $50 million in payroll from opening day in 2011, Mets owner Jeff Wilpon passed out orange T-shirts with a “U†symbol to each of his players Monday.
