The Rays had their first game today.  It wasn’t on TV, but the Dan Johnson game was.  How cool is it that we call it the Dan Johnson game.  I have never loved a man as much as I loved him in that moment.  So of course I watched it over again today, and I realized how much I’ve been missing the Rays.

I miss Carlos Pena’s smile.
I miss Aki’s swing and run.
I miss everything about Barty.
I miss Longo’s homerun trot.
I miss CC’s triples.
I miss BJ’s cannon.
I miss Fernando’s electricity.
I miss Navi’s doubles.
I miss Shields efficiency.
I miss Kazmir’s torque.
I miss Garza’s passion.
I miss Sonny’s eyes.

You get the idea.  I can’t wait to get out and see some games, and hopefully they’ll be back in my living room soon.
