Our 9th inning rally came up a run short and we lost again to the Rays 4-3. DiceK gave up 3 home runs which does not look good considering he has the tendency to give up the long ball (see 2007). He seemed to settle down last year, but maybe the old Dice is back?
Some positives to get out of this series is that Tek has hit 2 home runs which is about 2 more than I thought he would have at this time and Beckett is still our ace. I can't wait to get Lowrie out of there and get back Julio Lugo and each passing day brings him one day closer to coming back. Also, Youk is batting a solid .667 after 3 games and his stats look like he is playing against little leagers. Hopefully, his hitting continues.
On another note, I heard last night on MLB channel that Nick Adenhart, pitcher for the Angels died in a car crash last night after his start against the A's. He was 22 years old and just starting to live out his dream in the big leagues. I guess we never know when we have it coming. What bothered me was Scott Boras, his agent, getting up there and crying as if trying to show all of us he does actually have one ounce of heart in his body. I watched the video several times and he comes across as a fake. I really hope I am wrong, but I don't think that guy was sincere about anything that came out of his mouth.
Anyway, it will be a different type of series this weekend against the Angels. I read that someone left a ball at the stadium that said that Adenhart plays for another team of Angels now. Hope we can win a few in Anaheim over the weekend and hoping the Angels (team and family) get through this devestating news ok.
