Bondy: All wrong bringing David Wright into Carlos Delgado’s mess of nonsense

Even after being shatzcanned...The McGurk Effect lingers on at WFAN.

But then Chris Russo decided on WFAN Monday that Wright had been telling Delgado to defy the fans’ appeals on Sunday for a curtain call, following a second solo homer. Russo said you can tell, if you watched Wright’s lips carefully, that the third baseman was urging Delgado to ignore the applause.

“I guess there are some great lip readers,” Wright said, after refusing to appear on “Mike and the Mad Dog” to explain his alleged stage directions. “It’s not my place to suggest to him whether or not to accept a curtain call. It’s upsetting to me. I’ve been kind of drawn into this.”

For the record - and it should be noted we are not talking about steroid dealers or affairs with underaged girls here - Wright says that he went over to Delgado on Sunday only to congratulate him about the homers and talk pitch selection. Wright says that he respects Delgado’s decision to ignore the fans, but that under the same circumstances he would probably take those four long steps up to the railing, doff the cap and give the buggers their due.

“Different players have different ideas,” Wright said. “More than likely, I’d give ‘em a curtain call.”
