In Case You Missed It, A Transcript of Omar Minaya's Press Conference About David Wright

Some of you may have missed Omar Minaya's press conference yesterday where he talked to reporters about David Wright being put on the DL and his recovering from a concussion. Here is the transcript:

"Good umm, evening. I meant to say...good...what I'm trying to say is...I don't regret saying good evening, but it was the wrong time to say...I mean it was the wrong forum for good evening, so....good afternoon.

David Wright suffered...um sustained...he got concussion. So at this time...um....Adam Rubin asked me for a job...so I had to think about it....and where are these concussions coming from...so I had to think...and uh that's hard for me sometimes...especially umm when...and management and I...more management...um because I'm going...to umm go the way of Willie Randolph next month...and decided uh to put Wright on the 15 day disabled list.

Wright is going to see a doctor of specialization....I mean....he's going to a concussion specialist... a person who specializes in concussions...ummm a man of the concussion persuasion...uh because I don't want to regret having not sent him to a person of which...um...there is no concussion specialization.

It's not the forum for concussions...but I regret not having concussions...or I should say...I hate you Adam Rubin...I mean...the team supports David...and uh, you know...we hope to...um recover from concussion...before the season..

Thank you."
