If the Rays lose the World Series tonight–and they probably will–it will be because they have been playing like a team completely unworthy of being there.  I hate to say that.  But Peña just lead off the second inning by trying to bunt his way on, and the ball went right to the Phillies’ first baseman.  Meanwhile, Kazmir just gave up two runs to Philadelphia in a 15 minute first inning in which be walked and hit batters, and gave up extra base hits.  Joe Madden’s unwillingness to pull pitchers who are obviously shaken and doomed to throw the game away is probably going to cost the Rays another game.

On another note, it’s 42 degrees in Philadelphia right now.  That’s cold for baseball.
