Those crafty Red Sox, you never know what they're going to be up to next.

During the top of the ninth of a 1-0 game against Minnesota, Lowell chased a foul ball to the stands along the third baseline. The ball landed several rows back. Video from the game shows Lowell swiping a cell phone from the top of the short wall along the front row. (He eventually gave it back.)

Check for another version after the jump.

Ladies of Boston beware, Mike Lowell's coming for your thong on the next foul ball.

<![CDATA[The Red Sox Could Start Getting Used To This]]> The World Series was mostly lacking drama this year, but by now, we should be awfully used to that. Since the outstanding 2002 World Series, we've had one series go six games, one go five and three sweeps. Not that Red Sox fans care anyway.

We wonder if any Rockies fans will boast how their team won 22 of their last 27 games; that's still a pretty impressive figure, after all. On the whole, even when Colorado battled back — and they did, consistently — Boston always had an answer. The Red Sox were the dominant team in every possible way and, frankly, they look like they'll be in the very same position again next year, and perhaps for many years to come. Unless they dump Mike Lowell and sign A-Rod. But we'll talk about that later.

Overall, there's no longer any question as to who is the premier baseball franchise. So, Red Sox fans, here your chance to prove yourself different than Yankees fans, when they were in the same position. Let's see how you handle it.

<![CDATA[Gotcha!]]>
We have been giggling all morning at Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell's successful execution of the hidden-ball trick last night; it's our favorite play in sports. We're hardly alone either. The great archivists at Retrosheet has a collection of all the great hidden-ball tricks of the past. And leave it to the malcontents at Fire Joe Morgan to point out that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was nailed by the hidden ball trick three times.
