Friday, May 29th, 2009I have to be honest though, that gave me a freakin heart attack. James Shields was great. He was like a security blanket, making me feel all warm and fuzzy. Matter of fact I was so comfortable that I had a tantrum when Mr. Maddon came to take him away. I’m terrified of the bullpen […]
Swept into the Basement?
Thursday, May 28th, 2009At least it’s not in Cleveland anymore! That was abysmal.
Remember last year when I surmised that BJ had been cursed by a woman scorned. Well obviously she’s from Cleveland. Even last season the Indians were one of the few teams with a winning record against the Rays. Who ever said Cleveland rocks was sadly mistaken. […]
The Rays are Broken.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Is it my fault?
I wanted the Rays to find a way to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and Pat the Bat got a kink in the neck.
I wanted Price to be brought up, and Kazmir got hurt.
I wanted Percy gone, and now he is.
I wanted Zobrist to get more playing time, and Aki got the Tom […]
That’s Definitely a Memorial Day
Monday, May 25th, 2009This weekend was filled with all kinds of drama for the Rays. I was planning on writing about losing Kazmir and Aki and gaining Price, Brignac and Thayer. That was before the bullpen shit the bed tonight. They gave up 6 runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th. The way that felt to […]
The Better Hottest Men in Baseball List
Friday, May 22nd, 2009In my previous post I informed you of a shockingly awful list published by Fox Sports in which they attempted to pick the hottest men in baseball. As promised I will give you my list, a better list. However, this task is not as easy as one might think. For one I can’t seem to keep my […]
Hottest Men in Baseball?
Thursday, May 21st, 2009This morning on MSN.com, Fox Sports had one of the lead stories. The hottest men in baseball. Nice morning present right? You would think but this particular piece only brought total confusion.
It is quite possibly the worst list I have ever seen. If they were talking about good guys who do a lot for their […]
Well that sucked.
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009This game was frustrating because the Rays really seemed to outplay the A’s. It just felt like they would put that run up there first. Let’s play the blame game.
James Shields pitched a helluva game, but his offense couldn’t help him out. They deserve the lions share of the blame. They had a runner on […]
Some Strange Sunday
Sunday, May 17th, 2009That was for sure the strangest game of the season. First it starts off with a line-up problem. A problem that nobody clued the viewer in on. So we watched people walk around and huddle up. All while Staats and Kennedy speculate on what’s going on. Their first instinct was the Indians pitcher was wrong in […]
Just What the Doctor Ordered
Saturday, May 16th, 2009Thursday’s game was so awful, all I was trying to do was wipe it from my subconscious. Then Friday turned into a very long day. All day I kind of had the sniffles. Then in a super brilliant move I mowed the grass. By the time I sat down to watch the Rays my head […]
Odes to the MVP and LVP
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Jason Bartlett hit another home run in the third tonight so I thought he should be honored with a poem.
Barty, Barty he’s our man
If he can’t do it, nobody can
He’ll lay down a bunt or hit a sac fly
and he hardly ever lets a grounder go by
He can steal a base or two or three
last […]
