MLB: A slow and painful end

Poor Philly fans.  Sorry Rays fan…if you exist.

MLB: Sox on the ropes

Tim Wakefield was roughed up in just under three innings for five runs on six hits as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 13-4 to take a 3-1 series lead.  The killer, though, was a five run sixth inning by the Rays off the arm of Manny Delcarmen, who gave up all five [...]
