    if the MLB wouldn't be trying with all their power to send this one to Philly 1-1, the Rays overrated bullpen would be blowing this one.

    Rollins should have been on base, which would mean 2 on, no outs

    give the Rays "overrated bullpen" thing a rest

    39 IP, 13 ER, 3.00 ERA, even with the 8 runs given up in game 5 vs Boston

    Otherwise, 1.70 ERA without that game. That's nails.

    Much better than those Angels.

    PS - The balk call was missed last night and the Rays would have had the tying run at 2nd base with no outs. Let's call it even.

    Any reason why Gabe Gross continues to see the field?

    A defensive albatross and 2 for his last 41 at the plate.

    Anyone?

    Shields vs. Moyer is a game the Rays need to win...

    So if the game would have been 2-1 after the top of the 6th, MLB would have waited until it was suitable to play the rest of the game. This means the fans would have had to stay to watch the rest of the game, even if the game resumed sometime Tuesday morning, Tuesday afternoon, etc.

    MLB was thrilled Tampa scored the tying run so they could just say we'll be back tomorrow night if the weather permits.

    Kinda crazy.
