Q: What are your pettiest baseball grudges?
David expresses disdain for the Cubs and White Sox not being able to claim 'Wounded franchise' status anymore due to their past successes.

Q: Who would you want to see the Mets play in the World Series?
I would want to see them play a team that I have affection for, in which case I'm... I want them to play someone where people beyond us would be excited if we won.
17. Hits Different Draft Based on Names Only
Q: Do you think other guys on the team have their feelings hurt when they hear people talking about adding at the deadline?
I'm sure this is a matter of huge stress. Of course, yes.

Q: If you had to come up with a Mets breakfast cereal, what flavor would it be?
Suggestions include a Cracker Jacks-themed cereal with peanut and butter flavor or a blueberry and nutmeg-flavored cereal.
