Game 106 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
By Jessica | July 29, 2008
If 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 bad-ass. He really picked up Rays fans tonight. Seriously, how many of you thought the Rays would beat Halladay for the third time this year?? This was a huge win, and we have Mr. Garza to thank for that. I wonder if this guy would like to rethink this post?
One thing though, do you think Matt ever accidentally spits on his living room floor at home? Dude spits a ton.
Erik Hinske showed some of his superstar moves tonight too. He hit one out in the 3rd inning, but he wasn’t really sure if it was out, so he booked it around the bases, doing his best Ichiro impression. It was later ruled over the fence, but it provided some comic relief for the dugout.
There was one other guy proving he is a superstar. Longo hit a much needed triple in the 8th, driving in two runs. He just never seems like a rookie out there. He has amazing presence. He defense is as awesome as his ability at the plate. I love to watch him play, and not in a crazy stalker kind of way either. You just have to appreciate him, he’s the man! Rays Index has a great new shirt for all you chicks who dig the Longo ball. I’m hoping they offer it in blue someday too. I’m just not the pink hat/shirt kind of girl!
Thanks for letting me gush tonight. This game seemed like another turning point for the Rays. Let’s hope they can win the series tomorrow. Go Rays!!
