Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Here, Under Protest

There’s a certain irony when you compare Saturday’s game against Mark Buehrle and the Toronto Blue Jays, with Buehrle’s last start against Tampa Bay on July 11. In both contests, the Rays were able to tag Buehrle for a crooked number of runs. In both contests, the Rays knocked Buehrle out of the game early. And in both contests, a reliever relinquished the go-ahead runs to give the Rays an unfortunate loss.
