No Joy in Mudville

The loss last night was a particularly brutal one for the Red Sox, sropping them two back in the wild card race. I'm not going to offer any commentary on the game itself - if you want to know what all the local (and by local I mean New England) media has to say, you can go here.

I do have one brief comment. After the game was over, NESN displayed an overhead shot of the two teams passing each other in single file to shake hands, just like we used to do in youth soccer. And I wondered - did any members of the losing team spit on their hands prior to shaking, like some kids I used to know?
