This is kind of a side story, especially because the Indians lost last night and Fausto Carmona can't seem to get any White Sox out to save his life, but did you see that freaking play Asdrubal Cabrera made last night? If you saw it, you know what play I'm talking about. Our old friend Omar Vizquel hit a line drive up the middle that Indians reliever Joe Smith managed to get a glove on, but only enough to deflect it a little. Cabrera, who was heading toward the middle from his shortstop position to try to make a play on the ball, had to change course and go back toward third. He got it with his bare hand, then looked toward Adam Everett covering second, and flipped it behind his back from about 15 feet away to start one of the most spectacular double plays I've ever seen.
It was the obvious choice for top play of the day on SportsCenter, right? Nope. They chose a Kevin Durant dunk, and put Cabrera's play No. 2. No disrespect to Durant; it was a fine dunk with a hand in his face. But come on.
