Rays rolling

Sorry for the delay, folks.

My head is still spinning after that 10-run disaster of a fifth inning for the Jays.

We’re in the bottom of the seventh and the Rays still lead 10-0. Not much has really happened.

Trever Miller replaced Hammel in the fifth and retired the side in order, striking out Hector Luna and Buck Coats to start things off.

Gary Glover pitched the sixth and allowed a single.

Dan Wheeler is on to pitch the seventh.

He opens the frame by fanning Frank Thomas.

“Now that’s a big hurt,” someone yells from he stands.

I like Dan Wheeler.

I remember his first tour as a Ray. He came up in 1999 and began the 2000 season in the starting rotation. We used to call him “Big” Dan Wheeler, because he is 6-foot-3 and was a little lanky back than. He didn’t stick with the big club.

He found a niche as a reliever after bouncing through three organizations. He got to pitch in a World Series with Houston.

Now he’s back as a veteran, a stable arm and voice in the bullpen.

Glad to have him back.

He also finished off a perfect inning.

We go to the eighth.
