+ Game Two against the Astros and the Rays attempt to even the series at a game apiece.
+ The Rays have just two left-handed swingers (Iwamura and Crawford) in the lineup against lefty Rodriguez.
+ Catcher Dioner Navarro gets a night off with a day game tomorrow.
+ It's 80s night and the Astros are wearing the orange and yellow numbers that J.R. Richard somehow still looked tough in. The Rays are decked out in pin-striped Pelicans unis from the old senior league.
+ Kool & the Gang will perform after the game. So apparently it's ladies night, and the feelin's right.

Barbara sounds cute, but I'll hit her anyways when I'm at the trop (if you know what I mean).

OK, the RedSox are losing 8-0 so far. The Rays have to stop marching in lock-step with them. RedSox win, Rays win. RedSox lose, Rays lose. So please win already when they lose! It's the only way to regain first place. Love ya!
