The Rays evened the series with the Phillies.  The number of bad calls is now even also.  Oh and if you think Rays fans are going to feel guilty about those calls last night, you are sadly mistaken.  The Rays have had an obscene amount of bad calls work against them in the course of this season.

It’s no secret that I love me some Rocco Baldelli, and that boy laid it all on the line last night.  First with his super tricky walk.  Then he barrels over the Phillies catcher.  Later he hustles out a grounder to avoid a double play.  Later still he makes a super catch and doubles Werth off of first.  He’s the man.  He must be exhausted.  I bet he could use a rub down.  Mmmmm, give me a minute.  Okay sorry about that.  Seriously I hope he’s okay and can recover from those nine innings.  His fans would like to see more of him this series. 

James Shields was magnificent again.  Glad to see him pick up the win.

Love the small ball.  Barty’s bunt was perfect, and the Rays got it done last night.  So I don’t need to worry about Pena and Longo right?

On to Philly.  Let’s hope the weather and the mound are to Mr. Garza’s liking, and that the bats are awakened.  Go Rays!!
