Tuesday's A.M. Hot Clicks

So Much Snark

The Rays overtook the Red Sox for first place in the AL East last night thanks in part to a blown call at home plate in which Boston outfielder Daniel Nava was called out despite being safe. (Side note: Make sure you check out the girl in the red jersey screaming "You're an idiot!" to the umpire at the 45-second mark in that link.) The intense feelings from Tampa's 2-1 win carried over afterward to Twitter, where each team feed took their shots.

A Tale Of Two Calls

Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi, AT AGE 42, hit a game-winning home run against the White Sox last night. It led to a pair of beautiful calls as White Sox announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson was sent into a major depression, while Cleveland radio play-by-play announcer Tom Hamilton almost blew out a lung.

Speaking Of The Indians...

Pitcher Justin Masterson did an in-game interview last night during which his teammates dumped water on him and threw seeds at him.

Lovely Lady Links Roundup

Ronda Rousey

UFC's Ronda Rouseyappears in the new issue of Maxim. ... I saw The To Do List over the weekend. (Very funny, very raunchy, I recommend it.) Rachel Bilson is still as cute as ever, which you can see here. ... SI Swimsuit modelAlyssa Miller has done a new photoshoot.

Baseball Needs More Guys Like This

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw appeared on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live. (Watch Part I and Part II.) The lefthander told a funny story about getting pranked during his rookie season and shared his displeasure over Pluto (discovered by Kershaw's great uncle) no longer being a planet. After watching the appearance, it's hard to believe the very likable Kershaw is not a much bigger superstar in the game. I know there's an East Coast bias, but it feels like someone associated with MLB should be marketing this guy a little more.
