Game 56 - White Sox vs. Rays

I’m a Little Miffed!
I’m lookin to get out to a Rays game soon. I thought about going tonight, but I’m extremely allergic to country music, and you can’t convince me that they weren’t going to play any country music during the game. I also have no desire to own a Rays trucker hat. So I’ll wait for a better day, but that doesn’t change the fact that I really would’ve liked to watch this game on TV!!! I’m not the only one either. I overheard several people mention it today. Scott Kazmir on the mound, sold out crowd, c’mon! What? I have to get a life? Read a book? It just ends up driving me to drink!
So in between beers and chapters, I checked the score, and after the game I read through the play by play. This just irked me even further. There are so many things I would like to have seen. Not to mention all the stuff that looks basic but could have been stellar. Here’s my list.
CC and Upton double steal with error?
CC double
BJ’s RBI
Clifford’s homerun
Pena’s double
Fielders choice to SS, but Pena’s out at third. Why did he run?
Kazmir 7IP, 3H, 0runs
Howell’s two strikeouts
Miller’s battle to get Pierzynski to fly out.
Balfour closing it out.
The crowd.
Rays win! Chicago 0 - Tampa 2
And you know what’s going to cause me to get really drunk? There’s a freakin local telethon on NBC here instead of the Stanley Cup finals!
Sonny better have gotten cleaned up so he can bring it tomorrow, and the Rays can pick up another series. Go Rays!!

Was a good game, despite the country music. Im still scratching my head about Pena being thrown out at 3rd. And you didnt mention Kaz picking off a player leading off second base,,,oh what a move. Get out there soon.

You’re right I forgot to mention Kazmir’s pick off, but I did see that on sportcenter this morning. sweet.
Don’t worry I’ll get out there. I’ve been saving my pennies.
