I had this really cute idea that I was going to type my recap, and then post little excited blurbs when the Lightning scored during the Rays game. Then the Lightning didn't do a whole lot of that, and when they did it was late, so my idea was dashed. Instead, I'll just give a brief recap of a game that really only had interesting things happen in the early innings.
Freaking Erasmo, man. He was the picture of efficiency in the first... mowing down three batters with just four pitches. FOUR. This kid, I'm telling you. We've often said we just need five to six innings and a chance to let our modest bats win from our starters, and dangit if Erasmo doesn't repeatedly give us just that.
