TB 4, HOU 2; Rays move on

And with the rare point-less performance from Springer, who is leaving us, but this only affects a single pool denizen.

(Do I think this Rays team has a shot in the Classic? Not really, but Houston's finally out so they're winners in my book regardless.)

Springer 0

Lowe 1

One clown moves from the trunk to the backseat of the money clown car as a result:

67 Fell 2, SDB, and MArbour 1
62 MArbour 2 and Barboot 1*; Barboot 2; 
Tormey
61 Cameron 1 and Shotwell 1*

Whatever the outcome of tomorrow's game -- which starts at 8:15 ET, Anderson for the Braves versus the venerable TBD of Los Angeles -- it's going to kick a bunch of slates in the slats. No prediction, other than that an emotion-based decision to send Kershaw back out there is not going to go particularly well for the Dodgers, but I didn't think any of Kevin Cash's bullpen decisions would go well at all for the Rays, and he got by with it, so what do I know. Except, of course, that I wish you all luck!
