Wright & Wroñg

It started as a way to generate interest for the Mets and quell boredom for the two Superstars. It has become the most highly anticipated My9 show since King of Queens reruns. David Wright is showing off his acting range as his own original character, "Dave White". With Jose Reyes as Jose Reyes. They are two college roommates with a wacky cast of colorful co-eds. They share a passion for baseball, deep-dish pizza... And Life.

"Dave White" is a straightlaced Georgia Tech sophomore with a baseball scholarship, a heart of gold, and a unibrow that makes Italian 40-somethings swoon.

Reyes is the hotheaded but lovable Dominican with a devilish grin and fiery latino passion. His unrelenting speed is matched only by his love of the ladies and skateboarding. Also he's the drummer in GT's hottest band on campus: "The Double Plays".

In the first episode "Dave" has to finish his term paper by the next day or he wont be allowed to attend the Harvest Dance. But Jose calls up his amigos, and hijinks ensue!

They already have some hilarious guest appearances planned :
Mets Manager Jerry Manuel as their nosey RA.
Darryl Strawberry as the lovable stoner.
Keith Hernandez as a knowledgeable drifter who Dave finds out never really existed at the end of the episode, but finds a mustache comb on his nighttable, and looks up at the sky thoughtfully.

The Mets and My9 are hoping to break into the competitive world of buddy sitcoms. Hopefully this most recent foray into comedy will be more successful than their previous project, now in it's third season...
