Bigbird reached out. Insider Scoop: Tampa bay clubhouse in a frenzy tonight taking turns call their mamas upon realizing they are playing the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow !

Did he lead with "A few things" or "For what it's worth"?

1 1/2 back of Toronto and Boston for the last wild card spot.  Tampa just swept Boston, so the O's will have their hands full.

And to be clear: Tampa swept the Sox in a 4 game series!!! Yikes. Glimmer of hope: prior to that, they were swept by hapless Reds.

Let's just hope this isn't the beginning of another streak...

Start a new one tomorrow.

RIP Ray Liotta.

Now...the key is not to go into a slump like that 2005 team.

The ump last night was beyond bad. He cost us at least one run. Palmer has a right to be angry! Spot on!

There were two pitches to Adley that I felt were misses, although close. One was with the bases loaded. I forget who was umping. The only argument I would make was that he was consistently calling low strikes, some worse than what Adley got rung up on. But I think we were stealing a few strikes too, and probably should have worked lower in the zone knowing that.  I feel like the Rays just figured it out first and starting trying to put the ball down there.

It was Adam Hamari, who I've never heard of until last night.

Real lack of decorum being displayed here.

Now that it is over, and I mindfully did not belabor this during, in the universe of superstition/baseball faith, I'm 100% with Pickles here.    Like Crash told Nuke, you never mess with a streak, and for me part of that is basic no-hitter protocol.

I did have a lucky lunch during, and in the category of silver linings, am a bit relieved to get to change it up after near two solid weeks with offdays.     I am gonna stick with turkey sandwich if it starts another one tonight though.    It would have been a tricky contemplation whether maintenance was necessary had the truly rare streak made it to the All-Star break.

Time to bounce back. Urias is white hot. We need one of our big boys to carry this offense into the break.

I am slightly disappointed that Nevin wasn’t replaced in this series for a hotter bat.
