NEW YORK -- Even though they let a win get away Wednesday night, the Boston Red Sox locked up something more important. And as far as they were concerned, an AL East title was certainly worth celebrating.Boston clinched the division championship despite wasting a three-run lead in the ninth inning of a 5-3 loss to the Yankees. David Ortiz and the Red Sox, who last weekend secured at least a wild-card spot in the playoffs, were assured the crown when Baltimore rallied for a 3-2 win at second-place Toronto nearly 30 minutes before New York completed its comeback against Craig Kimbrel (2-5) and Joe Kelly.In the end, the one inning, it doesnt take away from 158 games played to date. They should be extremely proud for winning a very, very difficult division, manager John Farrell said.Though the final score in Toronto was posted on the out-of-town scoreboard for all to see, the Red Sox hardly seemed to notice as players draped their arms over the dugout railing and rooted for Kimbrel in the ninth.Farrell and other Red Sox said they knew the Blue Jays had lost and what that meant, but they were focused on closing out their own game at the time.Red Sox executives, however, jumped out of their front-row seats next to the Boston dugout and rejoiced when the Blue Jays game ended.This is one stop. Weve got a lot of work ahead, Farrell said. Were not done by any means.After winning their eighth AL East title, the Red Sox will open their postseason schedule Oct. 6 seeking a second World Series championship in four years. The teams first opponent has not been determined yet.Its only the beginning. We have to keep pushing, first baseman Hanley Ramirez said.Mark Teixeiras two-out grand slam off Kelly won it for the Yankees, costing Clay Buchholz a win after he allowed just an infield single in six shutout innings.That only stunned the Red Sox for a short time, though. Once they returned to their clubhouse, they regrouped and let loose, dousing each other with beer and bubbly in a typical celebration.So even if they didnt pile onto the field in enemy territory, the Red Sox got their chance to party in the Bronx -- the site of so much Boston heartache throughout its storied rivalry with the Yankees.Of course, there was one glorious moment across the street, when Big Papi and his 2004 teammates overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the AL Championship Series at the old Yankee Stadium. Boston rejoiced and went on to capture its first World Series crown since 1918.With Ortiz nearing retirement after the current season, this division title tasted sweet as well -- especially after the Red Sox completed a worst-to-first turnaround for the second time in five seasons. After winning the 2013 World Series, Boston finished last twice in a row.I think we can definitely use this as a stepping stone. But this is step 1, outfielder Mookie Betts said. Weve got to win a World Series and once we get there, everybody will know who the Red Sox are.No matter what happens from here, this year has become much more than a farewell tour for Ortiz. The 40-year-old franchise icon is enjoying one of his biggest seasons at the plate, joined by steady veterans like Ramirez and Dustin Pedroia mixed with blossoming young stars in Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr.This is a pretty dynamic team in terms of homegrown players at various stages of their career that are coming together to be a very successful team, Farrell said before the game.Rick Porcello (22 wins) and free-agent prize David Price have solidified the front end of a suspect rotation, with new closer Kimbrel anchoring the bullpen.Boston took control of a wide-open AL East with an 11-game winning streak -- all against division foes -- that ended with Tuesdays defeat at Yankee Stadium.Above and beyond all, this is a team that cares for one another. And I dont say that loosely, Farrell said. Theyre tough, theyre focused, theyre talented, but, like I said, above all, they care for one another in an extraordinary way.Farrell, who took over as manager before the 2013 season, enjoyed a personal triumph with this division title as well: He missed the final 1 1/2 months of last season after he was diagnosed with stage 1 lymphoma.Its been a journey that makes you relish the good times a little bit more. Theyre more meaningful, Farrell said. Theres so much to be fortunate or thankful for. ... Clearly, this puts you in a position to reflect on things differently.The only other time Boston clinched the AL East title away from Fenway Park was at Cleveland in 1988.Now, the Red Sox hope to reach the World Series again -- and set up a potential dream matchup against the Chicago Cubs and former Boston general manager Theo Epstein.You enjoy the night tonight and the accomplishments up to this point, but we still have a lot on our minds and a lot that we want to accomplish, Porcello said.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- While seated near a trophy filled with oranges, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was reminded of a coconut.It was 41 years ago when Harbaugh came to the Orange Bowl as the son of a Wolverines assistant, a trip where he saw the ocean, the beach and palm trees for the first time. Harbaugh and some of the other coaches kids were flummoxed one day trying to get a coconut down, spending hours climbing and shaking the tree without any success.They eventually knocked it off by throwing rocks, and smashed it open against a curb before enjoying that well-earned snack.One of lifes memories, Harbaugh said. Signature moment, right there.Harbaugh and No. 6 Michigan have one more chance at a signature moment this season, when they face No. 10 Florida State in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. Harbaugh and Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher appeared Wednesday in South Florida to promote the game -- which has already sold out and will pair two of the games storied programs.Its only the third meeting between the schools. Harbaugh was the quarterback when Michigan beat Florida State 20-18 in 1986; the Seminoles won the other meeting 51-31 in 1991.The Orange Bowl doesnt take a back seat to any bowl that I know about, Harbaugh said.Both teams were considered national-title contenders at times this season, and Michigan was in the mix for one of the four spots in the College Football Playoff until the end. Both clubs were as high as No. 2 in the AP Top 25, and each features one of college footballs most dynamic players -- the do-everything Heisman Trophy finalist Jabrill Peppers for the Wolverines, and running back Dalvin Cook for the Seminoles.It will almost certainly be the highly touted Cooks final college game, and fittingly it comes just north of his hometown of Miami. Cook was an Orange Bowl youth league player as a kid, which only adds to the symmetry of Florida State getting to this matchup.To me, thats what this all is about, Fisher said. His opportunity, and why did he get an opportunity? Becausee the Orange Bowl was here originally, to set up a youth program, to get him out to the field and get him to play and then his talent became out there.dddddddddddd. ... Everybody gets caught in the game itself, but really behind the scenes, what these bowls stand for, theyre tremendous things. For him to do it in his hometown, it is a tremendous event.Seated a couple feet apart on the dais, looking down at the Orange Bowl trophy, Harbaugh and Fisher chatted back and forth like close buddies.And before he figures out a way to slow down Cook and Florida State, Harbaugh wants to figure out how to see Renegade -- the horse that gets paraded out before Seminole home games, gets guided to midfield before his rider slams a flaming spear into the turf.Its one of those great programs, one of those great traditions, Harbaugh said. Renegade, the war horse. The spear. The tomahawk chant. Ive never been to a game at Florida State -- I always wanted to. I always wanted to go to their stadium and see what that atmosphere was like in person -- and this is as close as Ive ever been to that. Im very much excited about that.Harbaugh then turned to Fisher.Is he gonna do it? Does he do it at the bowl game? Harbaugh asked.I dont know. I guess they will. I dont know if hell get in or not. Probably will, I guess. If the bowl game allows it, Fisher said.Well, you have our permission. I want to see that, Harbaugh said.Before long, there was another back-and-forth between the coaches, still looking back at past matchups before looking too far ahead at this one.It is amazing that Michigan and Florida State havent played more, Fisher said. It really is. Matter of fact, you were the quarterback once when they beat `em, right?Yessir, Harbaugh said.Twenty to 18, Fisher continued. Yeah, I remember that.More memories are coming at this Orange Bowl, and only one coach will consider them fond ones. ' ' '
