If This Had Only Happened Earlier!
The Sox won again last night, again beating the Rays, in Tampa no less! That's two in a row and four of five for the suddenly mighty Sox. Unfortunately, they were eliminated from the post-season on Sunday. However, playing for pride is a good way to finish out the season as a prep for next year. Last night, after Dubront got wild for an inning and walked the bases full with no outs, eventually allowing the Rays to open a three zip lead, he got his act together again and the pen was even better, the last two pitchers starting with Tazawa, going perfect for a pair of innings. Dubront ended up with his 11th W, backed by timely hitting by Cody Ross and Ellsbury and Ciriaco, as well as a sacfly from The Dustman.
A sweep today would be a great way to depart Tampa for the year.
