Last night, David Wright hit a walk-off single to win the 
game for the Mets in the 11th inning against the Pirates at Shea Stadium.
Wright, talking to reporters after the game, as quoted by the New York Times:
“I was begging the wind to keep it fair, and it barely stayed in…It was the ball vs. the wind, and the wind was slowly taking it, but it got down just in time.”
…those are the breaks, man…and they’re the breaks that a team often needs over the course of a long season…it cuts both ways…so, you take it when you can get it…
For more on Wright, who has never hit a walk-off home run, ever, in his entire life, read Mets Walk-offs.

Actually, the ball dropped so it was a walk off single and not a walk off sac fly.
I knew this, but for some reason wrote sac fly.
I think it’s time for a few days off.
No worries Matt. Not trying to nit pick. Just pointing it out for the benefit of those who missed the game. =)
Just like many professions, whether sport-related or not, it’s about being good and it’s about being lucky.
Yup. We’ve had some bad luck breaks also so I’ll take it. I’d rather be lucky than good as the saying goes. Or as Jack Handy once said, I’d rather be rich than stupid.
