    • YES!!!!!

      Rays going to the World Series!!! Price showed some amazing coolness getting Bay out and then closing the 9th.

        Aybar had the go ahead run tonight and the insurance HR... so... I called it?

        • True enough, but it doesn't have quite the same impact as, say, Aaron Boone hitting a walk-off in the bottom of the 11th, so, partial credit.

            Congrats to the Rays.

            BTW, it was JD Drew that Price struck out to end the 8th. He walked Bay leading off the 9th.

            If the Rays are smart, they'll let Price close in the WS. He was, in fact, very poised out there in the face of all the "Bosox destiny" crap.

            • Indeed... that Price is going to be quite a stud. Cool as a cucumber with some seriously big time heat.

              Though, they have plenty of options with Balfour (the closer in waiting) and Wheeler (the guy who became closer when Percival got hurt). Though Balfour has been a bit off this postseason.

                ...except when facing the White Sox.

                • Yeah, but I'm talking about real teams .

                    "or something" negates 'calling it'. You must call it with confidence for it to count

                    David Price That was one of those 'destiny' moments, IMO.

                    Grant Balfour was used very intelligently in the ALDS, used against people who couldn't hit inside fastballs (Uribe, Cabrera). He didn't exactly face Dye/Quentin/etc.

                    • Nice job Rays... Price gives up a couple but holds down the fort at the end of the day. Too bad 2 1/3 innings with a 4 run lead doesn't count as a save, but it certainly should in my book...

                          • Back to Philly with a 1-1 series tie. It looks like this one will go 6 or 7. Both teams are looking pretty nice, but it remains to be seen if Tampa's starting pitching depth will make a difference, compared to Phily's super-ace (the other 3 are good, but not as good as the Ray's 2, 3, and 4).
