Riggan a series win! 

The Rays win AGAIN.  Cool beans.  New York 2 – Tampa 5. 

Some of my thoughts from the game:

Longo makes a great diving stop to start the game.  Love him.

Aki hit a lead off homerun!  That new do is serving him well.

Riggy gets a nice base hit in the 3rd.  Zobrist is hit by a pitch.  Not on the thumb.  Aki walks and the bases are loaded with no outs.  Crawford hits a sac fly and Damon’s throw literally rolled to the plate.  I laughed out loud.

In the top of the 4th Kazmir picked off Melky Cabrera.  Except he didn’t get the call.  Dammit he was out!  Maddon should have pulled a Pinella on that one.

Bottom of the 4th Hinske cracks a double, and then Riggy absolutley crushes a ball to left.  Did he lose the Mr. T necklace?  I didn’t notice it today.

Scott Kazmir walked Morgan Ensberg twice.  C’mon man that should be an easy out.  Kazmir still didn’t look back to normal but he pitched another 6 shut-out innings so I’m not going to bitch about it.

Rays scored again in the 6th when Aki started it off with a double.  So great when the lead-off hitter gets on.  Crawford moved him over with a sac fly.  He was the sac man today.  That sounds kind of funny in my dirty mind.  BJ hit a sac fly too and Aki scored the Rays 5th run.

Glover in to pitch in the 7th.  Glover hit their bats instead of the glove.  He gave up two runs.

Question – There were a few balls up the middle today.  Would Bartlett have gotten to those balls?

Pena kinda blew today, and as much as I love Longo he didn’t look so great at the plate either.

Wheeler and Percy shut those Yankees down, and sent them to last place in the east.

So now it’s off to inter-league play.  Should be interesting.  Can’t wait to see Sonny go yard!  Go Rays!!
