• We dome-spoiled fans didn't realize it was raining out in the world and we're hoofing it through the drizzle now. Onward to Philly ... (Jim Riley)

• Phillies in double digits for left-on-base two nights in a row. (Jim Riley)
• It's only 11:30? Don't mean to jinx it but we might finish this game in less than the usual postseason four hours. (Jim Riley)

• Small ball ! (Jim Riley)
• Fatigue shmatigue. Look at Rocco go. (Jim Riley)
• I see Jonny Gomes t-shirts, Jonny Gomes teddy bears, Jonny Gomes baseball cards. If Jonny Gomes was actually on the team, Jonny Gomes would own this town. (Jim Riley)
• They don't call this Row PP for nuthin. Must you people make me let you out of this row after EVERY beer? (Jim Riley)

• Rocco tagged out in a mitochondria-jarring collision at home. But the runner before scores. (Jim Riley)

• Random drunk in the parking lot guaranteed the Rays will win tomorrow by at least 5 runs ... so we've got that going for us. (Rommie Johnson)
• Prevailing mood among the sober half of the crowd: It's only Game 1. Among the drunks? Partly ugly with a 50% chance of violence. (Rommie Johnson)
• Best thing about the end of the game is that the obnoxious Philly fan to our left finally stopped yelling, "Lights out Lidge!" after 800 or so reps. (Rommie Johnson)
