The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has lost a little off it’s fastball, and it’s still one of the best shows on television. On Wednesday, Jon was joined by New York Mets third baseman, David Wright. The conversation briefly touched on the epic collapse by the Mets, Wright partying, and his thoughts on the NYM’s offseason needs. Alex Rodriguez’s name came up and led to the highlight of the interview.

JS: Alex Rodriguez opted out of his Yankees contract, he’s a third baseman, they say ‘maybe the Mets will go after him’.. You’re the Mets third baseman.. Do you call them up and go “heeellooooo”?

DW: You know, just seeing the way that Boston celebrated, seeing the winners of World Series, first and foremost I wanna win, so am I saying that I would change positions for a guy like Alex Rodriguez? If the front office called me and said ‘hey look, we wanna make this team better and you’re involved’, I would absolutely wanna sit down and listen, but for right now I am the third baseman of the New York Mets, and I’m going into the 2008 season prepared to be third baseman of the Mets.

JS: What if they call you and they say ‘hey what about Jon Stewart maybe playing third base?’?

DW: I’m all in.

JS: You’re all in for that?.?

DW: I’m all in.

JS: I say no A-Rod and I’ll tell you why. He seems like bad medicine. He seems like a very good player, but when he gets on the team, it’s like he weakens the team. He’s like the Dick Cheney of baseball… In that he… nobody seems to like what he’s doing.. And by the way you don’t have to comment on that.

DW: (Laughing) Does he watch the show?

JS: No. He definitely doesn’t… But no, it seems like he’s a bad chemistry guy, and chemistry’s important, is it not?

DW: 52 home runs are important too, last time I checked.

JS: That could be a lot of chemistry, ok, I see what you’re saying.

I never thought of Alex Rodriguez as the Dick Cheney of baseball. He’s not even the dick of baseball as long as Barry’s still playing… If I compared A-Rod to a politician, I would go with Al Gore. They’re both rich, they put up statistics that you can’t ignore, and neither has reached their ultimate goal. I could keep going with the similarities, but I wanted to bring up the only difference I found. Alex likes the she-male, muscular type of stripper, Al Gore does not. Or does he?..

The Mets got it made… They can pull of one of the greatest tank jobs in history, but have it covered up by the Yankees.. And they got women dancing and singing for them. Unfortunately, all of the tail in Queens couldn’t have helped the NYMs this year.. Or maybe that was the problem.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Michigan’s loss, at home, to Appalachian State is obviously the story of the week, and possibly the story of the year in college football. I had no rooting interest in the game, but I couldn’t help pulling for ASU. I’m sure they’re still screaming “We Beat Michigan“.

Joining Michigan in the hanging it up for the season category are Tennessee and Florida State. I didn’t have either squad challenging for the national title, and the 0-1 starts kill any hopes they had… But at least FSU lost AT Clemson and the Vols lost AT Cal.

MLB

Maybe this chick is a good luck charm for the Mets. The NYMs swept Atlanta, and then they welcomed Pedro Martinez back to the the team. Martinez picked up his 3000th strikeout and his first win of the season during his 5 inning outing on Monday.

The NL Central and West are the home to the only divisional races. The Cubs lead the Brewers by a game and a half and the Cardinals by two games. Chi-town will hold on to win the division, even if they can’t get Zambrano going. San Diego leads the west by a game over Arizona, and I’m taking the leader again. As a matter of fact, I’m taking all the leaders across the board… The divisions, the wildcards, everything. The playoffs are set in my book.

GOLF

I didn’t think it was possible, but the FedEx Cup is kinda interesting. Phil Mickelson balled (Are golfers ballers?) and held off Tiger Woods to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. The victory moved Phil back to the #2 spot in the world rankings and #1 overall in the PGA playoffs. I’m glad to see somebody trying to hang with Mr. Woods, but if Phil skips next week’s event in Chicago, the FedEx Cup is back to being a joke.
