Worst game of the year

To start with I am still a Rays fan. But last night was the worst that I have ever seen them play. To quote the "animal" of 620 WDAE, gold glove my ass. Why Joe Maddan started Andy Sonnanstine in such as important game beat the shit out of me. Made 91 pitches, to the tune of 8 hits, 5 runs of which 3 were earned. This folks in just 4 innings. Wow a ready made triple play, na, Evan Longoria bobbled the ball, than made a bad throw to first, when the ball should have been thrown to second. Than a two hop ground ball to Iwamora for a ready made double play, opps missed it. Not to be left out Pena after hitting a deep shot for a homer, missed a routine grounder. Lets not forget Carl Crawford our MVP of theAll-Star game, missing a fly ball that he normally catches while writing a letter home. 7th inning I believe bases loaded with none I say none out. Not even the hint of a run. Lastly B.J. Upton. How long will they put up with his lack of anything, other than being able to run down fly balls. 141 strike out for a speed murchant. Than when Crawford found the infield pulled around to the right Whih his burning speed, why square around to bunt rather than drag it down the line. The only person who could have thrown him out would be Brooks Robinson. But as I said in the beginning I live in Tampa and I will pull for them when they play.
