Hot Bats and Cold Bubbly

   The Rays bats are still hot.

    And the champagne is getting colder.

   The Rays can all-but taste the American League pennant.

   Two-run homers by BJ Upton and Carlos Pena and a solo shot by Evan Longoria have given the Rays a 5-nothing lead into the 5th.

   The Rays have hit 13 homers in this ALCS and that is a record.

    Upton and Longoria have both hit 6 postseason HRs.  Longoria has hit homers in 4 straight games and that ties a record.

    5-0 Rays in the 5th.  If the Rays hold on they will open the World Series at yhome Wednesday.

    And Scott Kazmir, who was a surprise starter, has been impressive allowing only 2 hits going into the 5th.  Rays manager Joe Maddon was heavily criticized by the Boston media for this switch.  The headlines in the Boston Herald called Maddon the "Ray of Dope!"
