Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford and Joe Maddon were ejected during the fifth inning of the Rays' 2-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night for arguing a pitch that plate umpire Bob Davidson called a strike. Crawford objected to the call, stepping out of the batter's box to exchange words with Davidson after left-hander Jon Lester's first-pitch curve broke across the plate and appeared to wind up out of the strike zone. "He was just like, 'That's a good pitch.' I'm thinking to myself, if the plate is in the other batter's box, then it's a good pitch," Crawford said. "It went back and forth. He didn't want to back down, and I definitely wasn't going to lose a trash-talking contest." http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5220347
