    Of course it was Siri who did the damage......and Pressly gives up another run in the 9th.

    These late game collapses are making watching an entire game brutal.....

    All losses are bad, but some are really, really bad, like this one.

    That’s a loss. No hits the last 5 innings.

    I stopped worrying about the division. We are too damn inconsistent.

    Why not pinch hit the faster runner dubon first to stay out of double play then Diaz after. I know it didn't work out either way but Diaz isn't scoring from first on a double.

    Thanks Pressly and Siri.
    Hard for me to hate the Rays when they don't even have a fan base.
    Couldn't string the hits consecutively.

    Dubon and Diaz can't fail like that but they did. Great.

    Cintron and Snitker need to be fired.

    What a waste of time to watch these losers in person.

    Good news is Maldy fought through his sickness and gets closer 130 games played

    He’s a true warrior

    Not a surprise at all. I knew we were gonna disappoint in this series. On the plus side, Javier looked better. The team just can’t hit that next gear and take advantage of opportunities.

    Rays bullpen dominated… and they manufactured a run in the 9th. Try to not be myopic when analyzing this game…

    Once Pressly gave up that leadoff double to Siri, you knew it was over. That was the only time I yelled at the tv tonight. I knew that was it.

    I mean Pressly sucked but the Rays manufactured a run in the end and our vaunted offense was sleep walking through most of the game. The offense needs to wake the F up to also let the bullpen have a bit of a breather.

    It’s not like the Rays throw a bunch of stiffs either. This is how good teams win games. People here should immediately recognize that.

    Don’t fault Presley at all.

    He’s 4 appearances passed the appearances he didn’t need. He’s gassed.

    The offense isn’t getting big enough leads and the pitching isn’t holding leads.

    Rangers didn’t have that problem a week ago
