Ellsbury is being benched tonight after a 0-20 slump. Crisp is taking his place. The Saux alos have JD Drew batting leadoff. To quote Quantum Leap, "Oh boy".

Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.74 career ERA, but has won just 30 of his 104 starts.

Everyone and their brother was looking forward to the Manny battle between LA and Boston especially FOX to help with their ratings, but with the outlook being Philly against Tampa, it looks like the viewership for the World Series might drop to all-time lows.

I've watched them prolly 20 times more than I've watched the la/phillies series. Actually, I haven't watched much of the NL.. even with the cubs briefly in the playoffs.
Upton and Longoria going for 10 or 11 homeruns is amazing. Any baseball fan should enjoy that.

The Rays story is one of the best in all of sports. Instead of the media building this up, they will concentrate on what exactly Dirty said. Its sad really! They rather talk about how no one will watch instead of showing why they should watch. Worst to first for the Rays and Philly has the #4 TV market.
