Rays v Phillies Game 3

I'm just curious who here is keeping up with October baseball? I want the Rays to win. It's a hell of a story going from the worst team in baseball to potential champions! The series is now 2-1 Phillies up. Three hour rain delay worth the wait. They just won a hell of a game. It went down to the wire. Hit by a pitch put the winning run on base, wild pitch that went to the backstop, a wild throw that went to center field trying to catch a man stealing, set it up for the Phillies. A weak infield snub to third drove in the winning run. It was a great game both teams responding to each run put up. Phillies started off the game with a first inning run. Rays came back in the top of the second with a run from Gabe Gross. Phillies answered that with a Carlos Ruiz home run. Game went on without runs till the sixth when the Phillies went back to back, Utley and Howard each a solo shot putting them up 4-1. In the seventh Rays put up two on two fielders choice. In the eighth B.J. Upton scored on a wild pitch making it even at 4-4. Rays did not score in the 9Th giving the Phillies a chance and they took it winning 5-4. I still believe the Rays are taking it. They have an amazing team and excellent pitching staff. I'm a Yankee fan but this wasn't our year so I'm going with the Rays. I've always liked them anyway. Game Four Sunday night 8pm@Phillies. Game Five Monday night 8pm@Phillies. Game Six Wed night 8pm@Tampa and Game Seven Thu night 8pm@Tampa. All on Fox. Rays win it in seven. LETS GO RAYS 08!!
