From left to right, it’s New York Mets’ David Wright, American Idol winner David Cook and American Idol’s Carly Smithson.

The Idols got to join in batting practice with the New York Mets who enjoyed a victory today thanks to a David Wright home run.

They defeated the Padres 5-3.

What a turnaround.

David Wright’s two-run homer in the ninth inning rallied the NY Mets to their 10th straight victory Thursday night, a 10-8 win over the Cincinatti Reds that moved once-languishing New York back into first place in the NL East.
