I was at the game, sitting near the Cowbell Kid. He was really letting Shelley Duvall have it. He had to leave early, because he's driving all the way to St. Louis for the Cardinals series.

Why did the Yankees waste one of Kennedy's options on this? They could've gotten this result from Kei Igawa.

Dry run for the fall?

Sorry, I saw the picture, I couldn't resist.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D UTTER THESE WORDS FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER TEN YEARS. THE (DEVIL) RAYS SCARE ME.

There's no turning back now. This is our moment. This is our time.

Start spreadin' the newwwwwwwwws...
They're diggin' a graaaaaaaaave...
They're gonna throw this team in it:
NEW YOOOOOOOOORK, NEW YOOOOOOOOORK!!!!

Finally, an offensive explosion and a see-saw battle as the Rays win, 8-5. Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer in the sixth. J.P. Howell held the line for three innings after Sonny coughed up the lead after some questionable infield antics. A great fight back.

Scott Kazmir was much better last night, with a line of 6 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K. But Carlos Pena was the hero, getting a crucial defensive knockdown and going 0-for-1 with 2 walks and the ultimately game-winning sac fly RBI. 2-0 Rays, and we're 4 games over yet again.
