2011 AL Playoffs- Rangers at Rays Game 4

Whenever you’re facing elimination it’s tough because you win or go home and clean out your locker, so the teams with a 2 – 1 lead today have a distinct advantage.

In our first game the Devil Rays face the Rangers at home.  They’ll be sending up a rookie, Jeremy Hellickson, but they had good luck with that in Game 1 with Moore.

Hellickson also has a lower ERA (ERA is the number of runs allowed per 9 innings, not that pitchers complete games anymore) than his opponent, Harrison, but Harrison has been better than his average in his last 4 starts.  He also pitched 2/3rds of an inning in relief in Game 1 which may have tuned him up or tired him out.

TheMomCat reports her Aunt (a Rays fan) will be at the game so I hope she has a good experience and a Playoff victory to celebrate.

  28. Traffic was a bit maddening due to a helicopter crash into the East River at 34st and the FDR. One incident and the entire city locks up,
