Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Was it just me or was it really hard to stay awake for the whole game tonight? The Rays definitely looked more awake than last night though. They pick up the win 8-1. They finish April 3 games over .500, and one game behind the Red Sox. Best April ever. Pretty sweet.
Some random thoughts from the […]
Game 26 - Rays vs. Orioles
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I’m blaming it on the cold. The Rays won six in a row…Where it’s warm! Tonight they lost 4-7, where it’s freakin frigid.
I was late getting to a TV and was quite surprised to see that Hammel was done early. Sounds like he didn’t have much control. He was cold!
The relievers weren’t themselves either. Yep, […]
April Battle for the AL East
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008The first month of the season is almost complete, so let’s take a look at the always competitive AL East.
We’ll start with the division leading Tampa Bay Rays! So cool.
Strengths - So many great athletes in the line-up. A much improved defense. A bullpen that is kickin ass and takin names. Their ace is on […]
Game 25 - Red Sox vs. Rays
Sunday, April 27th, 2008Ya gotta love it! The Rays just swept the Sox. Boston 0 - Tampa 3. I think we’re all going to need the day off to recover from the madness!
Here are some of my deep, insightful (read: lame, obvious) thoughts on todays game:
What is up with these Red Sox players and their ugly necklaces? Unless they […]
Game 24 - Red Sox vs. Rays
Saturday, April 26th, 2008Pregame - Staats and Magrane with the call again. I’m so obsessed with Staats hair. Do you think it’s crunchy? Ed-WIN Jackson vs. Clay Buchholz tonight.
Top 1st - slow roller + speedy runner = base hit for Ellsbury. Pedroia hits into a nice 5-4-3 double play. Drew gets a freakish broken bat single to Aki. […]
Game 23 - Red Sox vs. Rays
Saturday, April 26th, 2008What a game! I’m exhausted. Whew, where to start…
Crawford triples in the first to set the tone. So awesome to watch.
Upton hits a sac fly to bring him in.
Garza had an agonizing 2nd inning. No control. Did he spit this much in his other starts? He ended up walking in a run and giving up […]
Comparison Shopping
Friday, April 25th, 2008The Red Sox are in town. Which means the Red Sox fans are going to start coming out of the woodwork. Ugh. They have become worse than the Yankees fans they always hated. I would love to see the Rays get a couple of wins. Just for sh*ts and giggles let’s compare the line-ups.
Catcher - […]
Game 22 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Thursday, April 24th, 2008So last week I was in a cautiously optimistic phase when it came to the Rays, because they’d win a couple and then have an ugly loss or two. They also seemed to lose some of their spring training positive momentum. That’s why it’s so great that they swept the Jays! They’re back to .500. […]
Game 21 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Pregame - Most of the pregame discussion revolves around all of the roster moves/trades the Rays are making, or will be making as players come off the DL. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m a chick, but I’ve never gotten into debating these moves. I pretty much go on emotional involvment. In other […]
Game 20 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Hey Hey the Rays beat the Jays! Final score Toronto 4 - Tampa 6.
I came in late again, so I didn’t really get to see much of Shields. I did go back and watch the second inning though. Man was that ever ugly. Must have been excruciating for you guys who watched it real time. […]
