The Rays are by far the hottest team in Major League Baseball — 21-3 since June 28 — and currently hold a half-game lead over the Red Sox in the American League East standings. So let the taunting begin?
Here’s how the Rays’ official Twitter account reacted to Red Sox slugger David Ortiz’s violent smashing of the dugout-to-press box phone on Saturday night at Baltimore’s Camden Yards:
WANTED: Steel alloy telephone with Kevlar cord. Will spare no expense. Must install by Sept. 10.

September 10 is the start date of the next Red Sox vs. Rays series at Tampa Bay’s Tropicana Field.
