Another reason why I love SI

Hey I was reading SI stuff today online and saw this.  

People keep asking me if the Rays can handle the pressure down the stretch. Didn't they just win two of three in Fenway? Go by that, or go by that thrilling win Tuesday night over the Sox. Don't go by that flukish performance from Scott Kazmir on Monday night. They might not win the East. But it won't be because the fold. At least they haven't yet.

Carlos Pena is hitting .313 with a 1.098 OPS against the Red Sox with four home runs. Oh, and the walkoff hit by catcher Dioner Navarro against the Red Sox on Tuesday was pretty sweet, too.
