So 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. It is a nice boost for this team and their fans. Let’s hope they can build on it.
Sonny pitched out of a lot of trouble to keep the Rays in it. He gave up three runs, and only one was an actual RBI. Who’s covering home? Whips, nobody. That and a wild pitch were two free runs.
Crawford is hot, and I agree that he is the captain of this team and sets the tone.
Longo is freakin awesome. Have I mentioned that I love him. Hinske and him are quite a combination in the line-up.
Navi is also rakin.
I didn’t get much of a feel for the Gross guy.
Glad to see Bartlett have another good game.
Percy made me nervous as hell. I think Maddon got lucky there, and should never use him in three games in a row again.
Rays 5 – Jays 3! Sweep! Groovy!
Ok now they just need to stay far away from the Red Sox because they have some mutant flu virus. Can they play with masks and gloves?
Let’s hope they can pick up another series and gain some ground in the AL East! Go Rays!!
