Long(er) Break Between Innings

Game 5 continues Wednesday tonight. If Tampa can continue to hang on, the action moves to Florida. With Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena both waking up, we could be in for some more baseball. Which also means you can do some more baseball betting.

Last night, Pena and Longoria both got their first hits of the Series. Eric Hinske pinch hit, after replacing Cliff Floyd on the roster, and hit a home run. The Rays may indeed be waking up, and it may not be too late.

Assuming the Series goes past Game 5, we'll have one or two very exciting games in the safety of the Tropicana Dome. Looking at the Philly weather forecast, this game may get pushed another day (it did). I wouldn't bet on that (I should've), since there are lots of incentives to get the last two games on schedule.

I'll be back later tonight with a post-game review of the pitching to date, all five games. A couple things of interest, which may or may not make the cut, are how Andy Sonnanstine struggled with his control, and how the Phillies have pitched Longoria and Pena.
