QuoteNEW YORK — Was it only 14 days ago that fans at Citi Field were on their feet cheering David Wright as he became the first player to hit a home run in the new park?

Wright is the most popular player on the team, but you wouldn't know it if you had dropped in from Mars to attend your first Mets game Sunday. Fans booed the usually beloved Wright in the sixth inning after he struck out for the third straight time in the Mets' 8-1 loss to the Washington Nationals. He was then booed again, with a sprinkling of mock cheers, after he made it 0-for-4 with a groundout to open the ninth inning.

"David is a fighter. It's a struggle for him right now," Mets coach Jerry Manuel said.

After hitting .342 in his first 10 games, Wright is hitting .188 (6-for-32) in his last eight. After he went hitless Sunday, his average dipped to .271.

"I'm not seeing it all that well right now," Wright said. "I'm fouling off pitches I should be putting in play. It's forcing me ito get into situations I don't want to get into, seeing pitches I don't want to see. I need to do a better job of recognizing pitches early in the count and putting them into play."

Wright was far from the only Met who struggled against Jordan Zimmermann, who allowed six hits and one earned run Sunday. Still, Wright, who was recently moved from the No. 3 spot to the No. 5 spot in the lineup, can be a streaky hitter with pronounced slumps. It's no wonder fans start to get nervous when he starts to struggle.

Manuel, however, is not all that worried.

"He's trying to fight his way out of this thing," Manuel said. "He is really battling and trying to find an edge. He's a lifetime .300 hitter. So he'll figure it out."

"We are going to try to make some contact for one and then go from there," Wright said. "It's tough to hit to begin with. When you're not clicking mechanically, it makes it that much harder. We'll get back tomorrow and take some extra swings. Try to see how I feel and make some adjustments."

Wright said that overall, he feels good about his swing.

Said Wright: "I feel like my swing isn't bad, but I'm not hitting hard pitches I should be hitting hard. You have to stay confident. Through the course of a season, you're going to go though some ups and down. Obviously, I'm not producing right now at the plate. But I'm going to keep working until I do."

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Boy Mr. Gangsta really knows how to push the right buttons, eh?

But at least Delgado loves him, and thats all that matters.
