Golly, that's swell.

"A night after Lowell took a pitch off his left wrist -- one of five hit batsman in the game -- he had three hits and four RBIs. He was also involved in a little basepath payback in the fourth when he slammed his right shoulder -- and a little bit of his elbow -- into Cano in an attempt to break up a double play.

Cano bounced the ball to first as he fell to the dirt, just getting Varitek at first.

'I never had a problem with him before,' Cano said. 'Today he threw his elbow.'

But Torre said it was a clean play."

If you want to throw a few pitches at Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, you go right ahead.

If you want to hit a homerun off of Scott Proctor and stand in the batter's box for seven seconds, I'll pretend not to notice.

When you beat us in the playoffs, I'll stand on the top step of the dugout and cheer for you when you raise the pennant flag.
