"I just missed it. Plain and simple. Saw it the whole way. Didn't catch it."

Rays 4, Nick Johnson's Glove 3: The Drop at the Trop. And now, we've seen everything.
Gabe Kapler makes Nats pay for second chance.
Rays fans weren't saying "Duuuuuuuukes." A mixed bag in Elijah Dukes' return to Tampa.
Stammen was good enough to win, but Hanrahan in the 6th is just like Hanrahan in the 9th, coughs up 3-2 lead.
Another close call goes against the Nats: Joe West blew a call at the plate in the second. Perfect throw by Dukes; tag by Bard; Ben Zobrist was out. Shockingly, Manny emerged from the dugout; naturally, he didn't put up much of a fight.
Keep those fingers crossed that Zimmermann is okay tonight.
At least Nick J's drop wasn't the worst of the night. Luis Castillo's drop takes the cake.
