“His name would become synonymous with a lifestyle that was cool and slick and dazzling. But, in time, the name would mean something else. It would become synonymous with dissipated talent.\u00a0It was certain only that\u00a0he had dissipated a promising career, that people had grown tired of him, and that most of his difficulty could be traced to his personality. He did not have the knack of cultivating his personality precisely up to, but not beyond, that point at which the public becomes bored with it.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Poor Adam Wilk. Gets flown in from Vegas on little to no sleep because of Matt Harvey’s suspension<\/a>. He gives up a three run home run in the first inning to Giancarlo Stanton because Terry Collins is the only manager on the planet who would answer the question: How would you pitch to Giancarlo Stanton with a minor league call up on the mound and first base open<\/em> with the “none of the above”<\/em> choice. Then, Wilk gives up another home run to Stanton that hits so high off the Porsche Club that before Stanton even touched home plate, there was an alert on my phone that said that the Mets had picked up Tommy Milone off waivers. Poor Adam Wilk. Thrust into an impossible situation only to have his spot taken by a guy who is basically Adam Wilk decorated with a bedazzler.<\/p>\n
