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?
that's a great photo ...
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.
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.
Wow, that was embarrassing.
Not clear that Cruz was out, but still.
I do believe that is a run for the Rays.
It's tied!
Too bad Joyce was thrown out taking that wide turn.
[12] And again.
Carlos Pena was drafted by Texas in the first round in 1998.
The Rays have seven hits and six walks, and two runs! That's astounding.
Tampa finally has a lead.
What a great game.
Looks like the Rays are gonna live to fight another day.
NPUT ...
