Monday, June 30th, 2008Rays win round one!
Boston 4 - Tampa 5! Rock on.
BJ Upton started it all with a first pitch homer. So should he be a lead off hitter or a clean up hitter!
Lowell drove in a run in the fourth to tie it up, but Gabe Gross turned around and crushed a two run homer in […]
Game 81 - Rays vs. Pirates
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Time to stop the madness!
The Rays won again today. They won another series. They are back in first place in the AL East. If the White Sox can beat the Cubs tonight, the Rays will have the best record in baseball again. That’s all fine and dandy but they’ve got bigger fish to fry, and […]
Game 80 - Rays vs. Pirates
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Throw back game or throw away game?
Ever feel like you’re watching an experiment? Or a test maybe? Like Joe Maddon sent Glover and Hammel in to see if they could hang? Glover could. Hammel not so much.
Don’t get me wrong, the bats deserve some of the blame for this game, but it just felt curious […]
Game 79 - Rays vs. Pirates
Friday, June 27th, 2008You know what? These guys can really play.
Didn’t get to see the game, but it’s sure nice to come home and see that score. Rays 10 - Pirates 5.
One of my favorite bloggers and I share the opinion that you shouldn’t rant and rave about your teams stupendousness, lest you jinx them. It’s really hard sometimes […]
Game 78 - Rays vs. Marlins
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Holy crap that baseball guru is worth every penny!
The former Fresno State bulldog put on a show for his boys today. Mr. Garza fit all the cliches. He was in the zone, dialed in, bringin it, yada yada. He was flippin superb. 9IP 1H 1ER One away from the whole enchilada.
The Rays swept the Marlins. Tampa […]
Game 77 - Rays vs. Marlins
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008OH BABY!
Oh baby, Happy Birthday to the Bartlett’s new son Jayden Anthony. Even though most female fans don’t like to think of Barty as married with kids, we understand that such is life. Congrats to the new parents, enjoy! Also it would be fabulous if the little guy grew up to be a boxer since […]
Game 76 - Rays vs. Marlins
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Uh, Hello?
Is the bullpen phone only one way? Is it possible for someone from the bullpen to call the dugout? You know, to maybe inquire if the manager is actually there or to check if the phone is working.
I got home late tonight and thought I probably missed the whole game, but it was top […]
Game 75 - Astros vs. Rays
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Houston 3 - Tampa 2.
The Rays are here to stay
in Tampa Bay
but today
BJ didn’t play
and the bats went away
the Astros made them pay
Oy vey
but hey now they get a day
to nothing but lay
then I say
they get back to their way
of winning, okay?

Game 74 - Astros vs. Rays
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Fabulous!
Well I followed the game on gamecast but since it wasn’t on TV, I waited until this morning to post so I could see some highlights on ESPN. I hardly recognized the Rays in their throwback uniforms! Raymond got some TV time this morning too.
Totally rad outing by the Rays on 80’s night. Another walk-off win […]
Game 73 - Astros vs. Rays
Friday, June 20th, 2008The Astros were due to win one.
The Rays had a little bit of a post Cubs let down, and the Astros had to win one sometime. That’s how baseball rolls. Or it could be that I’m over analyzing things and justify the loss. Astros 4 - Rays 3.
Speaking of over-analyzing and justifying, according to the […]
