On the Down Low
By Jessica | August 12, 2008
I’m sure you’ve heard by now. Longo is joining Carl on the DL. This sucks hard. It’s a big fat bummer folks. However if you’re feeling low, you’ve come to the right place, because this girl is an optimist.
This is not to say that we won’t miss these boys. My love for them is well documented, but this team hasn’t gotten this far riding on one man’s shoulders. It has been a team effort, with lots of heroes. So three weeks should be no problem, and then they will be all set for the final push in September. Rally caps Rays fans!
Here’s the plan…
The pitching staff decides to be even more awesome than before. Starting with Kazmir blowing the white shoes off of the A’s tonight.
Navi stays his consistent self and ups his RBI’s by default.
Pena plays stellar defense and keeps roping the ball on offense. Oh and occasionally he takes his shirt off in the dugout to make up for the loss of Longo.
Aki continues to get on base, and dances with Zobrist whenever the mood strikes them.
Barty returns, but still hits like a DH, and tries to surpass Carl in triples.
Aybar takes over third admirably and keeps his bat hot. Someone buy him bat covers that look like boots with fur!
Hinske plays an okay left, but nobody notices because he hits an insane amount of homeruns making the Rays look brilliant.
BJ exudes the attitude “Who needs them when you’ve got me” and becomes the premier centerfielder in the game.
Gross and Ruggiano both field and hit so well that Maddon honestly can’t decide who to put out there after…
Rocco plays magnificent the first six innings! Everyone’s afraid to leave him out there too long.
Cliff Floyd decides he really hates to run so he just hits the cover off the ball instead.
See, no problemo. If John Kruk thinks the Rays can do it… c’mon he’s an expert right?
Go Rays!!

Jessica,
Just found your site…awesome! I also truly enjoy watching baseball (and all other sports).
The Rays continue to have the bench step up throughout the continued injuries. I love the attitude they have that no matter who goes down someone will more them step up and get the job done!!!!! Go Rays….
