is that a hit in that spot maybe helps Wright relax when he comes up in similar situations later in the year. And it was funny seeing Beltran try to sneak a bunt past Wright, he should’ve known it wouldn’t work – although he might have been doing one of his inexplicable “move the runner over” bunts.

Anyone who didn’t see it has to catch a replay of Beltran’s absolute thievery of McCann – wow, what a catch, but if he would have banged his knees up . . .

the most entertaining WBC game I’ve watched yet. Maybe its just the Mets fan in me, but a lot of great moments in that game. Delgado cranking that homer to dead center. Beltran robbing McCann. Putz striking out Beltran and Delgado back to back on nasty splitters. And of course the walk off hit for Wright. Aside from that being awesome, there were just some amazing moments captured right after in the celebration. First, Mike Schmidt coming out and nearly getting caught in the skrum. Then Wright getting greeted and mobbed by Kevin Youkalis, Shane Victorino*, and Brian McCann with all of them looking so ecstatic. Youkalis swiping Wright’s helmet and darting off with it. And then there was a still image they had up on MLB.com where Adam Dunn looks like he’s about to pick Wright up by the shirt and toss him into the air. That’s kinda frightening, but pretty awesome to see happen so genuinely.

I also want to note, I really enjoyed listening to Vasgersian, Reynolds, and Leiter. They were a surprisingly good team, and have been on the MLB network. They were loose and having fun, just kooky enough just insightful enough. It was a similar chemistry to what Gary, Keith, and Ron have.

*BTW, I absolutely can’t stand Shane Victorino. I feel like that thought runs through my head every time I watch him play. What was with that little kick he pulled to deflect the ball and take that extra base on Alex Rios’ routine throw in? I’ll give him credit, because what he does works, but I just hate watching him play.

As a Phillies fan I can say that that bottom of the 9th was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. It helps that Rollins scored the winning run, of course…

With the whole Wright / Victorino / Rollins / Jeter / Delgado / Beltran / Romero / Youkilis / Dunn / Schmidt confluence of divided loyalties, I’m kind of surprised the eastern seaboard didn’t crack off the greater North American land mass and slide into the Atlantic.
