Sox Slice and Dice the Rays in Game One
By Jessica | October 11, 2008
You know what’s really annoying. When your team’s starting pitcher holds a power house offense like the Red Sox, only to have their pitcher be completely awesome on the same night. Ugh.
James Shields was great. He gave the Rays every opportunity to win that game. Dice K happened to be great too. The Rays had very few chances, and couldn’t put it together.
We could look at a couple of mistakes. The sac fly that Lowrie hit was on an 0-2 count. Granted it wasn’t a bad pitch, but it did get a lot of the plate. Then Crawford almost made a great catch in left but it bounced off the tip of his mitt.
These miscues really don’t matter in the scope of things though, since the Rays offense couldn’t get anything going.
There is one huge issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Ever since Evan Longoria was spotted at the USF game in the vicinity of a girl with a very nice set of boobies, he’s been stinkin it up at the plate. This can not be happening right now. He does not even look his normal comfortable self. There is only one solution. Get him a flat chested girl stat. He needs to balance the scales. That way he can go 4-0 not 0-4, and stay out of excruciating inning ending double plays.
Tonight Kazmir goes against playoff Josh Beckett, another tough task indeed. Bring it Rays!!!
