Here was an extremely telling quote from David Wright last night that got overlooked:

“I just don’t think we have the fire I would hope we’d have. Losing like this, I hope, would ruin their nights,” Wright said of his departed teammates. “I want them to take it personally when we lose,” he said. “I want them to be ticked off.”

Additional quotes from Wright can be found from Marty Noble on MLB.com

This reads like a not so subtle jab at some teammates who Wright doesn’t feel is putting forth their maximum effort. Billy Wagner said the same thing but with much more colorful language.

We’ve suspected that the team lacks fire, but this is the first time I have actually heard the de-facto captain of the team acknowledge it publically.

Its time something is done about it, change has to come, and soon.
