What The Heck Was Joe Maddon Doing Last Night?
If he were anyone else (and the box score looks like a Tony La Russa special), the Rays manager would be getting flayed this morning. But everybody loves Joe Maddon, and his magnum opus of overmanaging in the Rays' 5-4 win over Boston somehow came back around to directly stave off elimination. That ...

The Red Sox clinched the A.L. East last night against the Blue Jays and engaged in the usual champagne-and-beer-spraying celebration. Fun times.

Has Any Trade Worked Out Better Than The Dodgers/Red Sox Megadeal?
After dancing amidst champagne showers in Arizona's visiting clubhouse, the Dodgers jogged out to right field and Chase Field's pool.

ESPN Camera Catches Dodgers Fan With "Fuck Boston" T-Shirt
I like it, but the purple-and-gold color scheme makes me think this guy might just be a Laker fan who repurposed this shirt from a past Lakers-Celtics series. If that's the case, then good on him for maximizing the value of his insulting t-shirt....

On Wednesday, in the seventh inning of the Red Sox' blowout win over the Giants, Stephen Drew hit a three-run homer. NESN's cameras showed a man who triumphantly came up with the baseball.

Ball Girl Forgets She's Not Supposed To Catch Foul Balls
