BJ Upton has a manager who acts like one

• Upton is taking a seat in tonight's game v Texas for again showing a lack of hustle:

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- "Tampa Bay Rays center fielder B.J. Upton was benched for the second time in less than two weeks for failing to run hard on a double-play grounder in the sixth inning of Friday night's 7-0 victory over the Rangers.

• Rays manager Joe Maddon punished Upton by keeping him out of the lineup Saturday night against Texas.

• On Friday night, Maddon removed Upton from the game in the bottom of the sixth after he was easily doubled-up on a one-out grounder"...

And that ain't all!!!

• (AP report): "Maddon accepted the apology but told the media prior to the game Saturday night that
• he was still considering further punishment for Upton.

• Maddon was unsure whether Upton would be back in the lineup Sunday night against Texas."...
