Following a questionable called third strike to end the top of the fifth, delicate Mets outfielder Ryan Church was livid; and directed his wrath towards poor homeplate umpire Dan Iassogna. Ryan exchanged a few harsh words with the ump, made a squinty-face like he was gonna cwy, and got so irritated, he almost –*gasp* — threw his bat!
Sensing that his teammate was in distress, on-deck batter David Wright quickly rushed to his aid. In order to calm Church down, Wright put his arm around him and supplied much-needed words of encouragement on the way back to the dugout before delivering a heartfelt pat on his behind. Afterall, Ryan is concussion-prone and Davey Wright didn’t want him to get so worked up that his migraines flared up again*. A noble gesture by a concerned teammate.
To commemorate, I’ve captured this loving moment in slideshow form:
* Ryan Church left the game after the 7th inning because his migraines flared up again.

That slideshow needs to be set to “That’s What Friends Are For” or something. It would be a big hit on YouTube.

Wright: “Don’t worry, Bryan.”
Church: “Ryan.”
Wright: “That’s what I said. Anyway, don’t worry. At least you’re not a blueberry picker or frat boy homos…”

Phils Phan: “I….”
[Meech turns on microphone.]
Phils Phan: “We good?”
Meech: Read it.
Phils Phan: “I have embarassed myself, my family, my friends, and my country. Bryan Church still sucks!”
