Cardinals and Red Sox  

missed it by that much  

If you root for St. Louis and you're not from the immediate St. Louis metro area, you're a horrible person.

The funniest part about the crazy Red Sox - Rays game last night was that the Sox used four different managers.

 

John Farrell was ejected in the first inning for arguing after Price hit Ortiz and both pitchers were warned.

 

The bench coach became the manager. He was ejected a few innings later for arguing that Price should have been ejected after hitting Carp with a high fastball, since warnings had been issued.

 

The third base coach became the manager. He was automatically ejected an inning later when Workman threw one behind Longoria.

 

The hitting coach became the manager.

 

Also Jonny Gomes scored the walk-off run after being hit by a pitch in the 10th (obviously by accident).

 

 

 

Actually the funniest thing was probably Ortiz calling Price a "little bitch" in his postgame interview.

Sometimes it seems like baseball is played by little girls. The "unwritten rules" are so stupid.

Ortiz also called Price a "little girl." Price presumably hit Ortiz because he was still mad at him for admiring a home run for 2 seconds during the playoffs last year.

 

The Sox were totally out of line last week in Tampa when they got mad about a stolen base. But that was a very minor incident and I think there wasn't much bad blood on either side after that, and I don't think Price hitting Ortiz had anything to do with that, but rather with him breaking the other "unwritten rule" of watching his home run 7 months ago.

I shit you not, I had a 6 year old make the exact same throw on a caught fly ball from about 120 feet out. Same trajectory and hit the mitt of the catcher in the same spot. And the catcher put the tag down.

 

This 6 year old (now 7) throws harder than all but one 9 year old.

Timmy's just being a Boston homer on that one. Hell, Guapo sees 5 year olds make that throw all day long.

it bounced.

 

True, but part of why it's great is that it was also an excellent catch. And centerfielders often have mediocre or poor arms, so it's cool to see JBJ launch one like that.

 

The throw by Cespedes is gonna be in highlight reels forever, Jackie's play obviously isn't in the same league.
