Forum: Talk Rays

For the second time in the series, a Red Sox player has hit a home run that didn’t come down.
No, it isn’t up there orbiting somewhere.
David Ortiz’ second home run of the game Wednesday night - in the fourth inning with nobody on - hit the Tropicana Field D-ring (outermost) catwalk n right field and got lodged up there somewhere. Monday night, Jason Bay hit a 412-foot shot that stayed on the C-ring catwalk in center field.
This isn’t exactly a common thing. There have only been four home runs in Trop history - three this year - that got stuck on the catwalk.
Despite Big Papi’s two homers off starter Matt Garza, the Rays lead 8-3 through 4 1/2 innings. Ortiz faced Grant Balfour in the fifth with two out and two on and flied out to center, a few feet shy of the warning track.

Hi,
When is the Trib going to figure out the “magic number” is not just wins, but a combination of wins and losses. For example, its a combination of 4 Rays wins and Twins losses that get the Rays the wildcard and 10 Rays wins and Red Sox losses that gets the Rays the Division.
