Game 57 - White Sox vs. Rays
By Jessica | June 1, 2008
Triples and homeruns aren’t usually Gross, but today they are!
Holy cow I can’t believe the Rays won with this line-up, but they did dramatically and they win the series. Final score Chicago 3 - Tampa 4. Some thoughts from the game:
BJ gets picked off once again. Just make him stand on the base already. He hit a triple shortly after that and the whole time I’m hoping he doesn’t get picked off third!
Pena finally came through in a big situation and drove in a run.
It was interesting how they walked BJ later in the game to get to Pena. Worked like a charm.
Riggy had a good day with two hits.
Normally 3 earned runs for Sonny would be great, but today it could have been a whole lot worse. There were times that it looked like Raymond could have hit a double off of him.
Ball-four looked anything but, and Reyes was pretty sharp.
Good time to put Crawford back in the game, he made a diving catch to rob Nick the ventriloquist doll Swisher of a hit.
But then Crawford came up to bat and grounded out to the CATCHER. Seriously.
Howell was amazing today. He had a runner on third, only one out and he kept the Rays in the game.
The hero du jour was Gabe Gross. He knocked in 3 of the Rays 4 runs with a triple and a walk-off homerun. Superb outing Mr. Gross.
So the Rays take the series and have a terrific home-stand. Now they head to Boston for a big test. C’mon boys keep the wild ride going! Go Rays!!
