Jason Bay votes for Philly

The other night at Jimmy The Greeks, taking a drubbing in trivia while the Sox took one from the A's and rookie pitcher Brett Anderson, Jason Bay made a catch in left field that we all agreed would be a play of the week. Not the case, on MLB.com at least. I looked for it today, and though I agree Carlos Gomez's over-the-fence rob of A-Rod's would be grand slam deserved the top spot, Bay's play was a close second. See for yourself.
Not only was it a great catch, but he doubled up the runner on second.

Additionally, trivia was a bust. We were rolling until we got a question we'd had at trivia a few months ago. "What was the first capital of the United States?" In February or March, when we'd had the same question, I guessed Philadelphia. I'd picked it up somewhere and was fairly confident it was correct. Nope, it was New York City. So naturally this time I said New York City. The same frigging guy is still running trivia and he asks the same frigging question but this time the answer was Philadelphia! Nobody said anything either. I wish Jesse had been there because he would have been 2 beers deep, drunk, and likely would have raised one finger into the air and shouted, "I demand an explanation!" After that we missed a big bonus question and didn't have a shot.
