Rollin' on...

I've just about run out of superlatives for Luis Barela. His trophy case full of hardware speaks for itself but he's somehow managed to find even another gear this postseason. Today he was 3-4 with 2 HR and 3 RBI as he led the Rays to a 10-4 win in Game 2 and this postseason he's hitting a mere 472/537/1250 with 8 homers and 14 RBI in 9 games. He's 34 now but showing no signs of slowing down and has to be considered the greatest player in the game. He and Juan Davila had 2-run homers in the first inning to send them on their way, and although Dave Rose was a bit shaky needing a strikeout to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the 5th with the score 7-4, it turned out to be a somewhat comfortable win in the end. Now the Rays will be trying to do the thing only they've done - sweep their way through the playoffs. Bob Riley will take the mound in two days at Wrigley for Game 3.
