I'm pulling for the AL big time. The Sox will need the home field advantage. They can't afford to lose Ortiz bat for 4 games. We'd better get another bat e.g. Beltran, Reyes to make up for losing Ortiz for 3-4 games.
Weiland gets a ticket back to R.I. The kid has a lot to learn. He's not close to ready. If Lackey can't return to a reliable pitcher, they'll have to make a move to get a ML pitcher.
Gregg clearly instigated the fight. As soon as he started chirping and waving and pointing to first base, the ump came running out from behind the plate, because he knew what was going to happen. He clearly baited Ortiz.
