Game 18 - White Sox vs. Rays
By Jessica | April 19, 2008
Andy Sonn’n'Shine shuts out the Sox! Wow say that six times fast! He’s not a sonn anymore, he’s a star! Ok, I apologize. Buzzed blogger. Seriously though what a brilliant performance. No pun intended.
The Rays really showed their potential tonight and it was definitely welcome after last nights suck fest. It would also be welcome if they could finish all their games in two hours. Another reason to love Sonny.
They came alive in the bottom of the second stringing together base hits and scoring three runs. Longo was the only Ray who didn’t get a hit tonight. BJ was really hot going 3-4.
Bartlett must have heard my plea. He had a much better game in the field and he had an RBI single. He’s had a bit of a sore arm and will be sitting out tomorrow and resting on the off day to see if that helps. Todd Kalas told me so.
I think the Rays should be forced to watch base running videos on their off day Monday. That was the only negative tonight. Carl got caught between first and second. BJ got caught rounding third AGAIN. Gomes managed to get out of his pickle and later score a run.
Alright Rays, win the series tomorrow and send Nick Swisher and his creepy facial outta here!

Hey Jessica.
I’m from Los Angeles and being from L.A, I’m a huge Dodger fan but I recently went to Tampa and I would like to wish the Rays success in beating the AL East teams and hopefully being a force in the AL. The Rays are really coming around with a good young pitching staff and a great line-up. Here’s hoping you luck and making it to the World Series against my Dodgers. And losing. lol. But, good luck to the Rays in ‘08.

Hey James,
Thanks. The Rays will take all the support they can get! As for meeting the Dodgers in the World Series, that would be cool. Most of the time the Rays are a lot of fun to watch this season, but like the Dodgers they’re young so ya just never know. Both teams are always exciting though!
