The Rays

I blame 95% of Monday nites loss on Joe Maddon. He did what he has been doing of late, leaving the starting pitcher in too long. On Monday Wade Davis had 6 strong innnings. He only gave up one run. The Rays bullpen is one of the best in the league. It is a lot easier to get one run than it is to get four. But no he starts Davis in the 7th and when Choate does come in he has two on already, rather than letting him or Quails start with the bases empty. If you have 9 outs to get one to tie you can do different things. Now regarding the number of folks that came to the game, 12,000+. Before the homestand I believe that it was announced that the payroll was going to be cut for 2011. Now that is a great way to get fans to go to the remaining games. Now I think that it is known that I am not a Yankee fan but at least the owner of THAT TEAM puts money into the team so that they have a good 25 players to represent the city.UC157Larry
