Headline = Fail.

Too simple. If you're going to beat folks to the punch, you've gotta do it in style.

I had it cued up and ready to go in another Firefox tab the other night and the Rays choked. I cued it up earlier tonight and the pitchers struggled. I cued it up at the start of the ninth and Bay walked, so I killed it quick.

When they got the second out and Lowrie pinch-hit for Cora? Yeah, then it was time.

Phillies in six --

 

Rays in 5.

The two best teams just got done playing.

 

What's the over/under on TV ratings?

 

I refuse to take that for granted. Just ask any Tigers fan about 2006.

 

I remember going into a Beef O'Brady's in Bradenton in, probably, 2001, and a few forlorn-looking Rays employees were giving out free stuff. I think we were the only ones who took it, because my kids wanted the whistles they had. The only interest stirring in the restaurant was for a local high school sports radio show being broadcast from there.

I hope those employees still work for the Rays, just so they can fondly remember those dark, dark days in the glow of the World Series.

 

Could the Series end in November?

Only with a couple rainouts. Game 7 is set for Oct. 30.
