Game 27 - Rays vs. Orioles
By Jessica | April 30, 2008
Was 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:
Aki starts the game off with a fly ball to center. This is now like nails on a chalkboard for me. He’s fast, he’s a lead off hitter, he needs to get on base, not hit fly balls!
The Rays load the bases in the 2nd with one out. Gross and Bartlett to bat. How much confidence do you have? Gross hits a sac fly, and Bartlett grounded out.
Millar’s eyes were bigger than his hit. He was busted trying to turn a single into a double.
Hinske! Still want to trade him? Two run homer to give the Rays the lead.
Sonny knows he’s working for a job. If my vote counts I really like him. He’s been pitching really well. He’s cute. He pitches a fast game, one of my favorite things ever. Seriously, right up there with peanut M&Ms.
Bartlett seems to be improving a little at the plate. He had a base hit, and a sac bunt. Still wouldn’t pick him with the bases loaded though.
BJ was strokin it, especially against the nervous kid who couldn’t throw strikes.
Pena looked better tonight. He had a big single that scored two in the 7th.
Navi too.
I like the fire this team has. Sorafate (some pitcher for the O’s) made some comments to Pena about taking so long, and Pena takes a couple steps toward him and was all like “What the f*cks your problem man.” BJ leaves first to back up his man. Gomes is at the top of the dugout steps ready to charge and hit people with chairs. Totally entertaining.
Day game tomorrow. Let’s hope it’s warm and the Rays can take this series before heading to Boston. Get ‘em Garza! Go Rays!!

Trade Hinske!!! lol. I still think it’s the right move to move a guy who’s gonna be a FA next year and likely won’t stick with the team.

I know it makes sense but I’m not always that rational. I get attached to these guys and he’s a big part of their success right now.
