A pathetic effort...
It's not an ALDS for the Rays if it doesn't go the full 5 games; usually, we're coming back to force the Game 5 but this time after scoring 33 runs in the first two games at Publix Park we've managed only a total of 4 in Detroit. Marc Gibson wasn't ready for prime time, and neither was the offense which didn't even make a peep until it was too late. Hopefully we can win a Game 5 shootout in Publix Park, although maybe Gordie Ager can give us more than 5 innings this time and pitch a gem. Oh and Dan Gregory got hurt as usual; he's got "moderate" back spasms so he'll miss Game 5 except in an emergency.
Whoever wins that Game 5 will be facing Texas as the White Sox once again go out at the first time of asking in the division series. Nothing is settled in the NL though:
