Pena Out
Willy Aybar replaces Carlos Pena to start the third inning. No word on why yet. The White pick up two singles to start the inning, but a bunt and a popup brings up Wise with two men on in scoring position.
Update: Wise delivers a three-run homer to rightfield.
Update: Dye hits a double over the centerfielder's head as the White Sox continue to hit Shields this inning.
Update: Thome grounds out to end the inning. Chicago takes a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the third. Wise now has two huge home runs as he replaces Carlos Quentin.
Update: The Rays come right back. A single by Barlett and a triple to center by Iwamura cut the lead to one, and the tying run is at third with on one out.
Update: Upton strikes out swinging, fouling a check swing into the catcher's mitt.
Update: Aybar gets the ball in the air, and Iwamura just beats Wise's throw from left to tie the game. Longoria comes up and hits another home run! The Rays lead 4-3, and Longoria has a perfect post-season line of 1.000/1.000/4.000.
Update: Floyd flies out to end the inning. TBS showed a good replay of Longoria hitting the home run. He starts his swing looking for the fastball, then realizes the pitch is a change up. He hesitates to time the pitch, then smashes the ball. That was a great example of a hitter making a split second adjustment.

Did Pena look like he was injured when he left the field the inning before??
Thanks for the updates. I'm at college right now, and all I can watch is Gameday on MLB.com.
How about Longoria's first playoff game? Wow.
Tom Hamilton, the Indians radio announcer, launched a wickedly funny line when Guillen came out to remove Vasquez in the game Saturday:
The first thing Ozzie said when he got to the mound was "I told you so."
Looks like a repeat today, at least so far.
