Quote of the day
"I'm looking forward to doing nothing."
Rays manager Joe Maddon, on having today off, at home, after playing 29 of 30 days.
Wedding gift of the day
Getting called up after a strong season at Triple-A Durham meant a lot to RHP Dane De La Rosa from a baseball standpoint. And also from a financial sense. De La Rosa, anything but a bonus baby, is getting married Nov. 3, and the $75,000 or so he'll make over the final month (prorated from his $480,400 salary) will make a big difference. "It's a great wedding gift from the Rays," he said. "Starting a new life, the bankroll obviously helps to just get things going and paying for stuff that maybe might have not been paid for for the next three years."
