"Being a part of going out there and playing well as a team, you allow yourself to enjoy it a little bit more," Wright said Monday, on the eve of NLCS Game 3 (air time at 7:30 p.m. ET, game time at 8 p.m. on TBS). "It's fun. Coming in here today, walking into Wrigley Field for October baseball, as a kid growing up that's what you truly dream about: October baseball in New York, and walking into Wrigley trying to beat the Cubs. This is about as good as it gets."
Because Daniel Murphy is hitting at an otherworldly clip and the Mets are winning on a nightly basis, now just two victories from the NL pennant, Wright's struggles have been relatively easy to overlook.
