Apparently there's some kind of game going on tonight. Consider this a Rays-Red Sox open thread....congrats to the Rays!!...[from davenoon] Though a Sox fan, I'm nevertheless glad to see the.

Like Sheehan, I didn't see it coming, but Tampa making the playoffs in a brutally tough division is one of the most remarkable baseball stories of the decade. Congrats to.
Ned Yost has been fired, with his team tied for the NL wild card spot and 13 days left in the season. Can't think of any precedent for something like.
