    Crap. Now I am nervous. I think we HAVE to finish it tonight fellas.
    This team has 5 guys who should have been banned from the sport. What they did was worse than Pete Rose in my opinion.

    We simply have to rip their hearts out.

    That was a bizarre exchange between Diaz and Valdez. Was Diaz trying to rattle the young Houston pitcher, or did Valdez say something that provoked Diaz? I don't buy the announcers' theory that Diaz was angry because Valdez didn't challenge him on a full count. The fact that Carlos Correa got involved and was still yelling at his own pitcher as they headed to the dugout makes it look like Valdez started it.

    Disappointing, but not over yet. Rays bats have to come alive.

    Blowing a 3-0 series lead, to a cheating scum bag bunch like the Astros is worthy of the team being moved to Montreal.

    Kevin Cash is in danger of being on both ends of a reverse sweep.

    I feel sick. Like when Columbus swept the bolts in 2019.

    But unlike then, one win changes everything tonight. Win one ballgame and no one ever talks about Houston's 3 wins again.

    Imust say from a karma perspective, The thought of those cheaters getting their hopes up and getting this close to a comeback, only for us to pull the rug out at the last minute is appealing.

    RaysUp boys.

    Cash has pushed almost all the right buttons. Guys just have to pick up some base runners. 20+ left on base over the past 3 nights.

    Let's pull this out tonight!

    When the Rays were down to their last at-bat, it occurred to me that the Astros were in the same position they were in 1986 vs. the Mets, up three runs in the ninth inning of game 6 of an LCS, down 3 games to 2 and on the verge of forcing a game 7. I thought sure the Rays would tear their hearts out.

    Verlander makes more the the entire Rays roster. (True story)

    TB has overachieved for years thanks to Stu being a cheap son of a gun. They shouldnt even be in the playoffs much less one win from the WS.

    Before the Rays and Marlins, there were the Braves and they were closest to Florida. So I rooted for them and still do with Fl teams coming first now.

    Once you reach the playoffs it's all even, I know it happens all the time in the NHL :D but blowing a 3-0 lead in baseball is once a century type stuff, it is deserving of scorn.
