Written on October 3, 2008 – 7:50 am | by Harry Robinson |

The Tampa Bay Rays played in there first ever postseason game at home. And the new guys to the postseason didn’t disapoint. Lead by soon to be rookie of the year Evan Longoria. Longoria hit two home runs and also drove in a round. Longoria drove in three runs in his 1st postseason game. ”I was just looking for a pitch out over the plate I could hit,” Longoria said. “He’s always got this way about him. He’s not going to be overwhlemed by the situation. And that speaks beyond his skill level,” manager Joe Maddon said. “Obviously, his skills are very good … and he likes these moments in a non-cocky way. He’s just very confident.”

As for the White Sox who came off the one elmination game playoff against the Twins, was not able to keep Longoria bat quiet. “This guy is a star. He’s going to be an outstanding ballplayer,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. “You see his face on the field, and you just know he’s going to be a great, great player.” Will the magical ride for the Rays conitnue, or can the White Sox draw even on Friday tie this series up at 1-1? Will just have to see if there is beginers luck or not!!!
