Thursday, July 31st, 2008What a tease! Jason Bay was gonna be a Ray. I was reading all about him, getting more geeked by the minute and then nope we’re sorry false alarm. What? It’s like being in the throws of passion only to be interrupted by the phone, which you don’t answer because you’re in the throws of […]
Game 107 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Percy and his clown feet are winning me back one step at a time.
The Rays won again today 3-2. Percy got the save, in a one run game. He didn’t walk anybody, he didn’t load the bases, he didn’t give up a run! He was down right boring, but I’m okay with that. I thought […]
Game 106 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008If you are what you say you are, a superstar, have no fear, the crowd is here…
Matt Garza is a bonafide superstar. He pitched his first shut out tonight against the Blue Jays. Tampa 3 - Toronto 0. He out pitched Roy Halladay, for the second time. I know I’ve said it before but, he’s […]
Game 105 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
Monday, July 28th, 2008Night of missed opportunities, eh.
Boys, when your peeps get on base, it’s nothing to be afraid of. Just bring them home. Maybe you should treat it like a video game. If you get a hit, you chase them around the bases and push them home. The more guys you push home, the higher your score. […]

Curse of the Batting Practice Shirts!
At midnight following the final spring training game these shirts lost all of their power. Matter of fact they now have negative power. So for the love of pete please stop wearing them during the actual games! They look all right, and I like BJ with his socks […]
Game 103 - Rays vs. Royals
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Rays win 5-3!
It’s raining,
It’s pouring,
The Royals are boring.
Percy hurts my head,
so I’m goin to bed.
Hope they win again in the morning!
Game 102 - Rays vs. Royals
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Wow, a road win!
I think there are times that a position player should get credit for the save. Last night when I heard Percival was warming up, my reaction was…Uh Oh they better try to get some insurance runs, because one run isn’t going to cut it for Percy. Not exactly the feeling you […]
Game 101 - Rays vs. Royals
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Royal Suckdom.
Tampa 2 - Kansas City 4
Royally Good
Gill Meche - He shut down the Rays. Not that that’s really hard lately, but he never let them in the game.
Jason Bartlett - Welcome back! Guess he doesn’t want people to miss Zobrist’s bat. He went 3-3 with a double. Plus he made a couple of outstanding plays in […]
Game 100 - A’s vs. Rays
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008100 down, 62 to go!
The Rays picked up another series win today. Sure would be great if they could keep doing that.
Shields was really good again, pitching into the ninth. He’s been so solid at home.
Two guys that I have love/hate relationships were instrumental in the big win. Gomes and Zobrist. Both of these blokes […]
Game 99 - A’s vs. Rays
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Staats and Magrane storm forecasters on sucky pitcher night.
It was the top of the 4th when the Rays announcers predicted a storm and warned the fans. Even though it was Sonny, baseballs were being left up in the zone. They warned us that technically the A’s weren’t power surges, but if something didn’t change, severe […]
