The Rays continue to have their way with Boston pitching.

   How about a 13-4 win at Fenway in Game 4 of the American League Championship? 

   That's 3 straight Rays victories by a combined score of 31-14.

   But the key stat, the Rays lead this best-of-seven 3-1.  After an off day Wednesday, the Rays can wrapup the pennant and a trip to the World Series with a victory Thursday in Game 5 at Fenway.

  The Rays are on a roll right now at the plate unlike anything they've ever had in their history.  The Red Sox have never given up 9 or more runs in 3 straight postseason games.

   Carlos Pena belts a 2-run homer in the first.  Evan Longoria follows with a solo shot -- bhis 5th in this postseason...that is a rookie record.  Willy Aybar rips a 2-run homer and he has 5 RBI on the night.  Carl Crawford has 5 hits.

   The series takes an off day Wednesday -- do the Rays really want a day off with this hot streak?  The Rays will have the champagne on ice Thursday.  Can you imagine a champagne party at Fenway?
