MLB.com: Rays edged by Jays in finale The Rays came out on the losing end of a tight pitchers’ duel on Sunday, as they were blanked, 1-0, by the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. With the loss, Tampa Bay (85-56) was swept in the three-game series with Toronto and has gone just 1-5 in September.

Taking the hard-luck loss, Garza (11-9) allowed just the one run on six hits over seven innings. He walked one and struck out seven. Toronto starter David Purcey managed to upstage Garza.

The Jays do this to their fans (like me). They limp along until September and then have a charge that makes everyone think "Maybe if things had broken right..."
The only interesting part about this charge is that every game seems to be against the 5 teams fighting for 3 playoff spots (if you included the Yankees).
They are in the middle of a stretch of 28 games where it's the three teams ahead of them in the AL East (TB/BOS/NYY) or the two teams that might also be fighting for the AL Central/wild card as well (MIN/CHW).
If they had gone on a 2007-Rockies-run at the start of it (instead of a good-but-not-good-enough 14-6 run), this would be even more interesting.
And Purcey owns the Rays. 2 games started , 16 IP, 1ER, 18K, 3BB, 11 hits
What is this in reference to?
What is this in reference to?
Probably that by beating Tampa, it increases the chance of Boston catching up and winning the division.
Which, I assume, is "bad for baseball".
Well, the Angels were a big help to the Rays earlier this summer, as they won 6 in a row against the Red Sox.
Or, specifically, Manny Ramirez, who is carrying the Dodgers to the playoffs...
