"Boston left fielder Carl Crawford says he would be "devastated" if his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays, passes the Red Sox to take the American League wild card.

Crawford, in an online diary he writes for ESPNBoston, also vowed to remember the "haters" at Tropicana Field who "heckled" him this season.

After a slow start in Boston, Crawford is batting .255 with 11 home runs, 53 RBIs and 18 stolen bases, disappointing numbers after signing a seven-year, $142 million deal with one of the Rays' main rivals.

In the online post, he apologized to Boston fans for his season and particularly for his performance in this past weekend's four-game series against the Rays. The Rays won three times to move with two games of the slumping Red Sox in the wild-card standings."
