Rays 5, Astros 0: Rays Impress on Somber Day

This isn't my normal recap, and I apologize for that, but I took some time to reflect on today.

On a day like today, baseball seems so trivial.

So unimportant.

As I write this, tragedy is unfolding just an hour and a half from the doorstep of Tropicana field, as the world attempts to come to grips with the worst mass shooting in our country's history and the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

As I moped around the house today, CNN on in the background as the details from the situation worsened and worsened, I'd be lying if I said I was not dreading having to sit down to write this recap.
