Monday, July 21st, 2008Wow, good one boys!
Baseball is a game that you can sink into your couch and soak up every detail, but it is also a game that you can multi-task through and still keep up on your favorite team. There is one thing I can’t do though, I can’t read and watch baseball. I’m guilty of that […]
Game 97 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Sunday, July 20th, 2008Lazy Bones
Occasionally you have a player who is quite nonchalant in their approach to playing baseball. They’ve made it to the big leagues because they are very gifted athletes. Their coaches just say that’s their style of play. However they frustrate the hell out of you because you know if they just shifted into high […]
Game 96 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Hey, Matt Garza here. I know I look half-baked in that picture there, and my hat is crooked, and it looks like I dipped my chin in chocolate but…I totally just out dueled Roy Halladay. Why? Because I can. My spit don’t stink. I pitched seven plus innings and they only got two hits.
Then my boys went […]
Game 95 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Friday, July 18th, 2008They’re back!
Aki had a great first at bat. He worked, saw a lot of pitches and ended up with a base hit. I’d love to see that from him every time.
The first couple of innings the Rays were really working Burnett, even getting a couple on base but they couldn’t capitalize on it.
Navi had a […]
TGIF
Friday, July 18th, 2008Every body’s workin for the weekend! A weekend full of baseball. WooHoo!
I haven’t seen the Rays play since July 1st. That’s 17 days. More than two weeks. A freakin really long time! So yeah I’m kinda excited. Rays baseball, we are one team.
Vero Beach is in town, so I might take in their game on Saturday, […]
2008 All-Star Game
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Or better known as the never ending all-star game!
I guess it was quite a fitting send off for Yankees stadium. You don’t have to be a Yankees fan to appreciate the stadium as a piece of our history, or to know how awesome that must have been for the Yankees past and present to be […]
Home Run Derby
Monday, July 14th, 2008ESPN started the night out with images from the first half of the season. It was very moving. I totally got choked up watching it. Some chicks cry at kleenex commercials, I cry at sports videos. I know, I’m a dillweed.
Longo hit 3 homeruns. He didn’t seem to be gellin with his pitcher. His performance is […]
Home Sweet Home
Monday, July 14th, 2008When I left the Rays had a five game lead in the AL East. Good times indeed. They finished their sweep of the Red Sox when I was on the road. It was okay being disconnected from Rays universe, since I woke up to the news that the Rays were still winning. They took three […]
Games 89 thru 91
Thursday, July 10th, 2008Ugh, what’s with the losing?
Not only are the ‘08 Rays a new team, a winning team, but their fans are born again also. We really like the winning. So if the team could get back to that it would be groovy. Oh and the losing by eleven runs is really a shock to our systems, […]
On the Road Again…
Monday, July 7th, 2008Since the Rays are on the road again, and I am on a road trip, I got to thinking…What would the guys be like on a road trip in a VW microbus? Besides crowded.
This is what comes to my warped mind.
