Big Game James successfully completed his mission in a must win for the Rays. There were a couple of plays that went the Rays way in this game. The Rollins HBP in the 9th was absurd. The umpire should have seen that as the ball got lost in Rollins' shirt right in front of the umpire's face.
But, that is no excuse! Going 1fer a lot with RISP is the reason the Phillies lost the game. They got lucky yesterday and won despite similarly paltry numbers, but could not manage it today.
On one positive note for the brothers that love each other is that Ryan Howard finally hit well in a game. He can change a series with his bat, we will see what happens once the series transfers to the band box in Philly. Howard will also have the honor of facing right handed starters in games 3 and 4. Howard and the Phillies ballpark are like cereal and milk - his average is .020 higher in Philly than on the road.
