As most of you know I have the inability to stay awake for the west coast games. I’m sorry but sleeping is something that I’m really good at, and I’m not so nice if I don’t get my fair share.
I did however watch the first part of the game. There I saw some good pitching, defense and offense from the Rays. The were in the lead and they looked good. The only bummers were when Navi left two runners on, and when Sonny biffed the throw when Griffey Jr. bunted. So what happened after that. The Rays didn’t score anymore and the Mariners did. Gabe Kapler you are no BJ Upton. BJ might be able to get away with playing that shallow, but you sir are no BJ. Stop it.
So here’s my theory. First it involves getting all the starters on the field together. Let’s hope BJ is back tonight. Then it involves playing all facets of the game well at the same time. It seems like one minute the Rays defense is awesome and then the next night there is some great pitching but no offense. Then when the offense does score some runs the bullpen blows it. They need to get in sync. Not ‘N Sync the band that wouldn’t be good for anyone. Unless some of the players wanted to make a video dancing to Bye Bye. That would be good for everyone.
Anyway boys, it’s time to start playing all together again. It’s time to start winning series again and that means tonight you need a W. Plus let’s be honest I probably won’t find out the results until tomorrow morning and it would really help brighten my day. Go Rays!
