Taking a short break to note the awesome accomplishment of the Tampa Bay Rays this year: with last night’s win, they’ve locked up a guaranteed playoff spot (either the AL East title or the Wild Card, depending on the rest of their play next week.) Going from worst in the league to a playoff spot is one heck of an accomplishment, and considering their pitching, they are not a team I want to go against in the first round despite lack of experience.

Also, the Cubs put their stamp on the NL Central last night, and their Division Series opponent will depend on how the Wild Card plays out — if it’s the Brewers, they’ll go play the NL West winner; more likely, if it’s an NL East team, it will be the Wild Card winner.

So, tip your beer or soda for both those teams right now.

If you were the coach of Ole Miss, how would you have responded to Johnny Long’s celebration?

  • I would address it with the umpire to ensure fairness.
  • I would ignore the celebration and focus on motivating my team.
  • I would lodge a formal complaint after the game.
  • I would use it as a motivator to rally my team.
