A flurry of bad blood - a heated argument between Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis, plus a real brawl between Coco Crisp and a bunch of Rays - and bad-luck episodes - injuries to Jacoby Ellsbury and Ramirez - easily overshadowed the actual baseball game, which the Red Sox won, 7-1, completing a sweep of the Rays and extending their lead in the AL East to 1 games.

Pretty good fight I must say...Coco got upended and dropped by half the Rays bench. Good week not to have the Rays as your pitching staff in Fantasy League!!!

The whole thing was sad... seeing the player take cheap shots at Coco on the ground got my blood going... the last thing we needed was injuries from a brawl.

Those Rays are not making a lot of friends on their way up the division.

In baseball, sometimes you just have to pull hair and scratch everything that moves to let people know you mean business....

They never have. There's always some **** going on between them and either the RSox or Yanks.

Yea I think the Rays' 40 man roster made sure that didn't happen.

Yea, that "fight" looked like some of the pile ups at the Wizard of Oz post production party...
