The most exciting 9th inning in a long, long time

Via Yahoo! Sports:

Top 9th: NY Mets

- J. Papelbon relieved J. Beckett
- G. Sheffield walked
- D. Wright struck out swinging
- J. Reed struck out swinging
-
O. Santos homered to deep center, G. Sheffield scored
- R. Martinez lined out to third

2 runs, 1 hits, 0 errors
NY Mets 3, Boston 2

  Bottom 9th: Boston

- J.J. Putz relieved P. Feliciano
- K. Youkilis walked
- J. Bay grounded into fielder's choice, K. Youkilis out at second
- J.D. Drew lined out to right
- M. Lowell grounded out to shortstop

0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors
NY Mets 3, Boston 2

The Omir Santos home run was just absurd.  I’m not sure who was yelling louder: me or Omir?

Then the defensive masterpiece in the bottom of the 9th.  The David Wright snag and Luis Castillo stretch for the first out.  Then the Ramon Martinez diving grab and subsequent throw for the final out.

The most exciting 9th inning this year, for sure.
