It was a good thing Rays star pitcher David Price did on Friday. Rays manager Joe Maddon hosted a charity event at a Tampa restaurant, and Price helped out by serving as a guest bartender. And for that, he got…a feisty stranger peeing on his car.

During today’s Rays-Rangers playoff game, a cameraman tripped, fell, might have broken his camera, and then had his embarrassing moment replayed by his network for the entire country. America thanks you, TBS!

It looks like a sweet deal – not only get good seats to a playoff baseball game, but get to sit in comfortable recliners and have a TV right in front of you, so if you miss anything (which you might well not, because again, these are good seats you have), you’re covered. But it’s not always quite as comfortable as it looks.

On the heels of last week’s apology from Fox about fabricating NFL headlines, TBS has been caught not only repeating that feat but plagiarizing the text from the stories to which they claimed the headlines belonged.

A prolific Tweeter recounts experiencing baseball’s wildest night and what he would have said if anyone could have heard him.

During a rain delay in last night’s Red Sox-Orioles game, Boston’s broadcast decided to kill some time by speaking with Globe sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy. At the time that this interview takes place, the Red Sox have a slim 3-2 lead over the Orioles in the bottom of the 7th.

More importantly, though, the Rays are losing 7-0 to the Yankees in the eighth inning. Hardly anyone thought Tampa Bay could come back, and with a Rays loss the Red Sox were assured an AL Wild Card tie at the very least. So Shaughnessy made his prediction: the Rays would lose and the Red Sox would live to play another day. It was a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Up until Evan Longoria’s 12th inning homer, the most exciting moment of the Tampa Bay Rays’ season was this game-tying, bottom of the 9th home run from Dan Johnson.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Red Sox completed one of the biggest collapses in baseball history last night.

Up nine games on the Tampa Bay Rays for an AL Wild Card spot on September 2nd, Boston proceeded to go 7-20 this month, completing their collapse with a 4-3 loss to the Orioles last night after leading 3-2 in the ninth inning.

When the smoke cleared, the Sox were out of the playoffs and Boston’s worst fears were realized. Here are the newspaper headlines that greeted the city, which are predictably gloomy.

Unless you’re a Red Sox or Braves fan (and even those fans would probably grudgingly admit this), last night was as good a baseball night as there’s been in years. It was hard not to get swept up in last night’s action…and the cameras were rolling to show us just how excited two MLB Network analysts got.

Wow. WOW! Tampa Bay Rays. Going to the playoffs. Evan Longoria. Walkoff home run. Can’t write in complete sentences. Unbelievable. What a night of baseball. Longoria homer after the jump. Watch. Wow.
