Tampa Bay Rays at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 26, 2008 8:29 PM EDT
So, anything interesting happen last night?
Tonight the Phillies go for a commanding 3-to-1 Series lead, sending new-ish Phillie Joe Blanton to the mound against young Tampa righthander Andy Sonnanstine. A 3-1 lead, with Cole Hamels set for Game Five. Dare to dream? The Rays would do well to win this one, eh?
So far, Blanton has been solid if not spectacular in the postseason. Sonnanstine has been good, picking up a win against Chicago in the ALDS and winning Game Four of the ALCS against Boston behind a 13 run Rays attack, despite allowing four runs in seven and a third innings.
In more important news, I will be in attendance tonight. This will be my FIRST World Series game. I could hardly be more excited. If they win tonight, I will be a mess. I think dajafi is going to be there too, so play nice while we're gone. GO PHILS!!!

J-Roll with a brilliant AB and a double to start things.
Took the count to 3-1 and then jumped on a meatball and smoked it down the line. I love to see that.

Yeah, great job by Sonnenstine to throw the baseball to Shane and Feliz and allow them to get themselves out. STFU Buck.

It is simply not possible to re-make The Day The Earth Stood Still. No.

Like I said last night, Hollywood really should just shut down for 3 years and try and find some ideas that are, you know, original…at least make movies that haven’t been made before and stolen from another media.
Also – Ashton kutcher shouldn’t be allowed in any remakes let alone the evil bastardization of classics

The Phils have 3 outs to blow.
From what little I gathered from DRaysBay on my short visit there, Jackson does not instill confidence in them when he trods to the mound. Think Durbin.

For those tracking, Blanton was at 93 to start the inning.
And his first two walks were in the last 2 innings.
I say pull him if he doesn’t get bartlett

I hope they turned the crowd noise down, because they should be louder for a guy that gave you maybe the best start of his career.
