Too often what we get from him is the sort of canned, “everything’s okay, tomorrow’s another day” response that everyone hated when it was Willie Randolph trying to sell it.

Because the truth is, there’s no good explanation for the way Wright failed to come through last night. Man on third, no one out, and a whole GAME in the standings on the line, and he can’t even put the ball in play.

I’m a big D-Wright fan, and I honestly laugh at people on here who want to compare him to A-Rod. Two days ago he came up with a huge 2-out, game-tying single, which everyone has conveniently forgotten. But David, your AB in the 9th last night was a joke. 3-0, if you’re going to hack, you better hit the ball in the air to the OF. And then to turn a 3-0 count into a strikeout? You don’t need the HR to win the game, buddy. Do me a favor, I liked you better when you were willing to hit the ball the other way for a single or a double, when you became a MORE dangerous hitter once the pitcher got two strikes on you. Can we get back to that please???

But now that I got that one out of the way, let’s please give the choke-artist award to the guy who deserves it the most. Ryan Church. Because the only thing more farcical than a guy who fails to hit a sac fly once is a guy who does it twice.

Honorable mention to Ramon Castro.

The exhaustion of being there every night this week must have finally caught up with me, because I actually fell asleep right away last night when I finally made it home. After five hours of sleep, I woke up semi-delusional again. They are still positioned to get into the postseason. The Cubs will beat the Brewers, possibly twice. Philly will lose at least one game to Washington. The Mets will get their hits off of Harden tonight (weather-permitting). But will Pedro give them ANYTHING???

Then you didn’t put good swings on them.

but then again, you will tell me that I am imagining that because I have already set in my mind that he’s pulling the ball too much… :-) lol
