Top 7 - Rays at Reds

We mentioned John Rodriguez's Cardinal ties earlier, and we weren't the only ones thinking that. Rodriguez was standing on deck prior to the inning when a fan started yelling "Johnnie Rodriguez, baby, Cardinals. Rocket." Rodriguez turned to acknowledge the guy, to the fan's great amusement.

It's not exactly a raucous atmosphere here at Ed Smith, so we can pick up on these sorts of things. It's heckler heaven, if you are inclined to that sort of thing. Game update: The Rays went down in order, but still lead 3-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh. Time to stretch.
