As opposed to his lengthy rant when he felt the Rays were wronged by the umpires Tuesday against the Angels, Joe Maddon was relatively serene in the wake of Sunday's controversy. If nothing else, Maddon has been down this road before, with the White Sox benefiting from a call by umpire Doug Eddings on a play involving A.J. Pierzynski at his team's expense. ...more
