Keepin' the Faith...

...although it's not easy. I woke up yesterday morning, resigned. I told myself that it's just not our year. We had a good ride this year - some really fun, exciting, frustrating, heart-breaking, shocking games. I'm glad I got a chance to see these Rays play in person - they are a remarkable team. And they just seem a little more hungry, and certainly more intense, than our guys looked Tuesday night.

But then....

I turn on ESPN2 and hear that Maddon is going to have Scott Kazmir pitch instead. No "Big Game James" to close out the series. Instead, they go with Kaz who has struggled mightily this year.

Damn you, Joe Maddon. You've made me believe and hope again,
