It's like cliff's notes for those who don't want to read through all 400 lines in that other comment

we all enjoy the updates of things like games versus .500 teams and who plays who in the playoffs. why should I go to another site to look all that up when i'm talking baseball in the NeoGAF baseball thread?

Hey guys, any chance the greatest 19 year old rookie in the history of beisbol wins ROTY?

Ott and Cobb weren't rookies, but Harper might catch them anyhow.

You know that feeling you get when your favorite video game company's console has outsold your least favorite video game console by a huge margin? I think I'm experiencing that feeling right now.

It always seems to be something around the Boston Red Sox these days.

The latest came during Saturday night's 7-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia and reliever Alfredo Acevedes got into a shouting match and had to be separated in the dugout by third base coach Jerry Royster after the fourth inning.

Neither player would discuss the specifics after the loss – the Red Sox' fifth in a row – but the incident seemed to stem from Aceves catching Pedroia off guard with two pickoff attempts of Coco Crisp at second base.

"That's none of your guys' business," Pedroia said, via the Boston Herald. "That's between teammates."

Said Aceves, "It was (about) something that we have to communicate on between us. But that's us. That stays with us. What happens in the game is in the game."

After the initial incident, manager Bobby Valentine attempted to talk to Acevedes, who just recently returned from a three-game suspension for demanding a meeting with the manager and then slamming the door to Valentine's office at Fenway Park. Acevedes did not seem to appreciate or want the manager's help Saturday.

"It was just Alfredo being Alfredo and Dustin being a baseball player," Valentine said about his attempts to calm the reliever.


Also in the fourth, Acevedes made the strange decision to interfere in a foul pop along the first base line. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and first baseman James Loney had converged to make the catch. Oddly, Aceves called them off, then dropped the ball.

The Red Sox are 0-5 on a 10-game West Coast trip and have dropped to 10 games under .500, a season low.

This is really living up to that pitchers duel as advertised.

Brewers totally going to catch the Pirates in the standing though. We still have three more with them after this one!

Wtf Mets?! Parnell had a 5-pitch inning. Why not leave him in to bunt with a guy on 2nd and no outs. Instead, you put in some scrub that lines into a double play.
