NEW YORK -- The Boston Red Sox won the AL East, clinching the division championship despite wasting a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday night. Adidas Bobby Hull Jersey .David Ortiz and the Red Sox, who last weekend secured at least a wild-card spot in the playoffs, were assured of the division title earlier in the ninth inning when the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 3-2 win at Toronto. But New York came back against Craig Kimbrel and Joe Kelly.After winning their eighth division title, the Red Sox will open their postseason schedule Oct. 6 seeking a second World Series crown in four years. The teams first opponent has not been determined yet.With Ortiz nearing retirement after the season, the Red Sox got to celebrate 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 that year to capture its first World Series crown since 1918.But this title will taste 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.This year has become much more than a farewell tour for Ortiz, though. The 40-year-old franchise icon is enjoying one of his biggest seasons at the plate, joined by steady veterans like Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez mixed with blossoming young stars Mookie 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, manager John Farrell said.Rick Porcello (22 wins) and free-agent prize David Price have solidified the front end of a suspect rotation, with new closer Craig 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.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. Adidas Christian Fischer Jersey . The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season. Cheap Coyotes Jerseys Authentic . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.cheapcoyotesjerseys.com/ . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. Championship leader Nico Rosberg edged out Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo to go fastest during Friday afternoons practice session at the Circuit of the Americas.Rosberg topped the session on a 1:37.358 with the super-soft tyre, which was 0.194s quicker than Ricciardos best time -- suggesting Red Bull could run the world champions close this weekend. Hamilton, who had topped the morning session, had to settle for third 0.291s behind his teammate and title rival. Rosberg, who leads the championship by 33 points, will hope his advantage over Hamilton is a sign of things to come this weekend as he looks to claim a victory that would take him another step closer to a maiden world championship.?Sebastian Vettel finished fourth ahead of Max Verstappen in the other Red Bull, though Ferrari will be worried about the 0.6s gap to Ricciardo ahead. Force India pair Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez finished sixth and seventh, ahead of McLarens Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso, suggesting they have recovered from their Japan setback last time out. Kimi Raikkonen rounded out the top ten 1.5s off the pace, though he was the first man out on the super-soft tyres for qualifying simulations and ran wide at the penultimate corner, meaning he failed to set a representative time. Adidas Jakob Chychrun Jersey. Carlos Sainz finished 11th for Toro Rosso, but ended his session with a spin through the twisty first sector. Kevin Magnussen was 12th ahead of Felipe Nasrs Sauber, who rounded off an impressive day with 13th. Williams pair Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa finished either side of 15th-place Daniil Kvyat, though the Grove team rarely shows its true pace on a Friday.Jolyon Palmer finished 17th in a session which saw him suffer a strange spin on the exit of Turn 8. Romain Grosjeans Haas was the next man up in 18th, though the American team will be worried by what appeared to be a large chunk of debris falling from the rear of his car mid-way through the session. Esteban Ocons Manor finished 19th despite an early spin in the gravel.Esteban Gutierrez finished 20th in the other Haas, with Saubers Marcus Ericsson and Manors Pascal Wehrlein rounding off the table. Wehrlein was playing catch-up in the afternoon after giving up his Manor to Jordan King for the morning session.? ' ' '
