This is one of those games that you could tell your friends about and it sounds so far fetched that they’ll think you’re making the whole bloody thing up.
You – Carl Crawford got picked off first. Guess where the ball hit him? In the hoo-hoo.
Friend – No way.
You – Way. He left the game. Nobody had the balls to call him tater-nuts though.
You – Garza gave up back to back to back home runs in the second.
Friend – Get outta here.
You – Seriously I thought his head was going to explode.
You – BJ Upton hit a home run.
Friend – Because he wanted to jog around the bases instead of running hard?
You – Hardee Har Har
You – Garza gave up another home run to Luke Scott in the 3rd.
Friend – Bringing the total to four? This story is getting deep.
You - Seems like it.
You – Matt Joyce hit a home run.
Friend – Now that I believe.
You – Plus he’s cute.
You – The Rays scored 4 runs in the 6th inning.
Friend – It’s the Orioles, that’s possible.
You – Benny made a boo boo in right and two runs scored.
Friend – You are a liar. Take it back.
You – It wasn’t the only weird route he took.
You – Choate was only able to retire one of the lefties he faced.
Friend – That sounds about right.
You - No, I said left.
Friend – Right.
You – Brignac homered to take the lead back to two.
Friend – He’s no Sean Rodriguez.
You – Reid my lips, I love that kid and I will throw you down.
You – The Rays had a two run lead going into the ninth. Bring in Soriano.
Friend – Game over.
You – Not so much. Soriano’s a tad rusty since he’s been on the shelf FOREVER. Tie ball game.
Friend – That blows.
You – Chunks.
You – They go to extra innings. The Rays take the lead in the top of the 12th.
Friend – But?
You – But they give it right back in the bottom half of the inning.
Friend – This story is getting tired.
You – You’re telling me.
You – Guess who blew the game?
Friend – Lance Cormier?
You – Oh you’ve heard this story before.
Friend – Tragically.
You – Know what else is tragic?
Friend – What’s that?
You – The Yankees finally freakin lost a game.
Friend – Well you always have the day game after a night game to look forward to.
You – Yippee. Go Rays.
