Apologies, baseball pundits. After last night’s blowout game you had pre-written your tales of Red Sox rebounds. They won! They scored twenty runs! A new day had dawned, one where the scuffling Red Sox had turned a corner and were driving full steam ahead to their rightful place atop the division. The Rays, after all, don’t even have a real starting rotation! They roll out a bunch of no-name openers!
I’m sorry that today’s 8-1 Rays victory, anchored by a bunch of no-name pitchers you probably have to Google, forces you to tear up those drafts.
For Rays fans, however, this has to be one of the more satisfying wins of the season.
