Bizzaro Night at Fenway

For some reason, tonight is bizzarro night at Fenway Park! Its not a full moon tonight, so I'm struggling to explain this chain of events:

• Manny smacks (slams! CRUSHES!) home run 503
• Parking attendant on Lansdowne Street gets his 30 seconds on TV for finding the ball
  
• Coco Crisp hit by pitch, charges mound, throws a few punches, and then takes quite a few more
• 3 players ejected
• Carter takes over in left field, Elllsbury moves to center
  
• Ellsbury makes a great catch and rolls up on his right wrist
• Ellsbury taken out of game
• Drew moves to center field, Youkilis plays right field (for the first time in his career!)
• Youkilis and Manny get into a fight in the dugout! WTF?!?!
• Remy and Don get into a (hilarious) scrum in the broadcast booth
  
• Manny tweaks right leg checking his swing , ends up with a walk, and trots to first base
  
• Francona checks on Manny, says he's OK, and returns to dugout
• 30 seconds later, replaces Manny with pinch runner Kevin Cash
• When not playing DH, Cash runs back out to bullpen to help warm up pitchers
• Lester, Timlin, and Aardsma limit the Rays to 1 run and win the game

Tom Caron on NESN sports desk says its all because of Stephen King was on the pre-game show. I can't think of a better excuse, can you?

I have to watch the post-game show and interview with Francona just to see what the heck happened tonight!
