Up Against It

The Rays need to win today or else their season is over. I figure Matt Garza will give them a good start and they’ll live to see another day.

I want that series to go 5. I wonder if 2 or 3 LDSes are 3 & out, that there will be calls to make them best of 7?

I kind of like both teams in this series, unlike the other three series where there's a clear bad guy for me. I'm partial to the Rays I guess but as an organization, I think I like the Rangers better. They seem to have more fans, they're not gonna slash payroll next season, etc. Also I think I like Ron Washington better than Joe Maddon.

The Rays are going to have to score some runs at some point though. Geez.

[2] Agreed.

Rangers are looking kinda scary. Rays couldn't even keep it close in their own house.

That's gonna come back to haunt Tampa.

7 randym77   ~  Oct 9, 2010 6:32 pm

That was a missed opportunity for the Rays.

[3] Hm, those are all pretty persuasive, taken together.

Not that it's possible to persuade someone to be a fan of a certain team.

9 RIYank   ~  Oct 9, 2010 6:51 pm

Wow, that was embarrassing.

10 RIYank   ~  Oct 9, 2010 6:53 pm

Not clear that Cruz was out, but still.

11 rbj   ~  Oct 9, 2010 6:59 pm

I do believe that is a run for the Rays.

12 randym77   ~  Oct 9, 2010 7:02 pm

It's tied!

Too bad Joyce was thrown out taking that wide turn.

13 rbj   ~  Oct 9, 2010 7:53 pm

[12] And again.

14 randym77   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:01 pm

Carlos Pena was drafted by Texas in the first round in 1998.

15 RIYank   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:04 pm

The Rays have seven hits and six walks, and two runs! That's astounding.

16 rbj   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:08 pm

Tampa finally has a lead.

17 RIYank   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:09 pm

What a great game.

18 randym77   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:23 pm

Looks like the Rays are gonna live to fight another day.

19 Diane Firstman   ~  Oct 9, 2010 8:33 pm

NPUT ...
