Game 59 - Rays vs. Red Sox
By Jessica | June 4, 2008
Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for your friends.
I wanted to watch the Rays tonight. My friends wanted to watch hockey, and since it is the Stanley Cup Finals I didn’t even try to argue the merits of watching baseball. Also, Red Wings fans are dangerous. I find that cookies keep them subdued quite nicely though.
The nice thing about hockey is that they have 20 minute breaks, so we did watch a bit of the Rays. Tonight that was enough for me. They ended up losing 1-5.
During the first break I got to watch Edwin walk Julio Lugo. That’s just excruciating. One of my friends said “If I was a pitcher I would have a hard time not hitting that dude. He looks like a real douche.” Exactly.
Later I saw BJ get tossed for arguing, but after watching so much hockey I really wanted him to slam the umpire into the boards. Wouldn’t that rock.
So what is it about Fenway that freaks the Rays out? Shitty weather? Chowder? Do they spike the Gatorade? Are they having too much fun at night? Is Beckett sharing his beauties? If they want to be serious contenders they are going to have to win a game there.
This could all be my fault though. Over the weekend I noticed the Dunkin Donuts ad. You know the one, if the Rays win you get a free donut. So I’ve been kinda craving a donut, and since then the Rays haven’t won. It’s donut karma. Tomorrow I’m going to go buy myself a donut, so the Rays can get back to their winning ways.
Pena to the DL is sad news after his performance last night. It’s also sad cause we’ll miss his hotness in the lineup. But Ruggiano is back! Man has everybody been waiting for this. No pressure dude. Shields to the rescue! C’mon Rays fire up and get one. Go Rays!!
As a rookie to the Rays blogosphere I am honored to have been asked to contribute to an interesting draft preview by David Chalk of Bugs and Cranks. I hope to be as talented as the other contributors someday. Check it out!
