1-2 pitch coming, and I might try a double steal.....

Now a discussion on the mound.....


Double play hit into by Lopez..... I would have had the runners going.....


Kipnis now on 3rd, and Brantley is wiped off the bases.

Rays announcer not mentioning anything about McAllister and our pen status. I presume McAllister is icing in the dugout?

3-2 to Hafner


Pop up, and we do nothing after having 1st and 2nd and no outs.

So many wasted opportunites.....at least McCallister calmed down and didn't give up what could have been a disasterous inning

Yet another wasted opportunity!

Don't look now, but we once more have two men on base....


Cabrera is in a real funk at the plate.....let's end it now.....


Nope. He's now one for his last twenty four, and we strand two more....

Different this time. There were 2 outs before the 2 on. Meanwhile, at Fenway, the Red Sox get the first two runners on but don't waste them, as Alex gonzalez goes yard. 4-1 Bosox in the bottom of the 8th.

Luke Scott, one of Joez old boys, stands in for Tampa.....

And K's.....

Ground out ends the 6th for Tampa as McAllister continues to save our offense's inability to close the deal...

We need the Angels to play the kind of ball they should be capable of tonight in Detroit.

Headline is that Crawford is in the lineup for Boston tonight.

Presumably not Broderick or Michael.


Kipnis lead off the 7th with a walk for another Tribe baserunner.

Rays TV shows Underwood and his partner in the broadcast booth looking bored.

Now they realize they are on camera and smile....

Even RUSTY should be rooting for the Red Sox tonight!

We have 8 walks, 7 hits and a Tampa error through 6 1/3.

We should have more than 3 runs.

Tampa Rays TV catches a great shot of Kipnis leading off of first, with his eyes glancing in at the catcher to see if he can pick up the pitch call.

......to no avail....


Strike 'em out, throw 'em out ends our 7th.

3-1 us, and it's stretch time.

McAllister probably only has 10 pitches left. He'll start the 7th at 99 pitches.


Never mind.

Esmil Rogers starts the 7th on the mound for us.......

.....and promptly surrenders a bomb.

3-2

Cunningham takes over for Damon in left, and my man Hannahan takes over for Lopez at 3rd.
