Upton nonchalantly fielded a baseball in center allowing a CATCHER to tag from 1st to 2nd, which ended up being the winning run. This kid makes bone-headed move after bone-headed move it seems.
I just saw that obstruction call on the rundown of Peer-zinski, and that was one bullcrap call by the umpire.
Looks like neither Boston or New York has enough in the tank to push for the division. The Yanks, at this point, would be happy with the wild card. Unless Joba comes back strong, that won't likely happen.
The Rays are so resilient. Last night, their vaunted bullpen blows the game, giving up 5 in the 9th. They come back and lambaste the Twins tonight. I really like this team's chances come playoff time. Longoria is on a tear since he has been back. The kid in center has been solid and is playing with a lot of confidence in Crawford's absence. Upton will be back soon and fill in one of the other outfield spots. At this point, Perez needs to be the center fielder throughout the playoffs if Crawford can't come back. Percival should have enough cortizone shot in his ass to make it through the playoffs.
