In or Out?

The DRays have loaded the bases against Rivera in the 9th with 1 out. The Yankees are playing the infield back, except for Clark at first. Sort of the opposite of the end of the 2001 World Series, where the Yankees brought the infield in and Luis Gonzalez popped one over Jeter. Torre makes the right decision this time as Fordyce grounds into a 5-3 double play to end the game.

Can someone confirm for me: when Tom Gordon points to the sky at the end of a (successful) inning, this is a sign of Christian belief?

Of course a bunt scores a run to tie the game, instead of a game ending double play.

What cost the drays the game was having Geoff Blum replacing Lugo at short in the 9th inning. If Blum turns a easy double-play instead of dropping the ball, the score remains 2-1 going into the bottom of the ninth.

And yes I am still bitter

It's interesting to hear from a bitter D-Rays fan, and it's refreshing too. That means, that, finally, people are starting to care about the Devil Rays.

Unless, Rob M, you're simply a Yankee hater...
