Once again the Rays' bats were just too much for the White Sox with the big hits a 2-run jack from ALDS MVP Jon Jimenez and an Omar Rodriguez grand slam which really put it away. Josh Carsello was shaky as usual but settled down once he got the big lead and pitched decently overall with Steve Beaver getting his first postseason save, a 3-inning special. We're off to Chicago in two days with Danny Romero getting the nod.
In the NLCS:
Cubs ace Raul Robles brought the arm with 6 2/3 scoreless and one-time Ray and grizzled vet Vlad Guerrero Jr. brought the bat, driving in 4, as Chicago took Game 1.
