As a Rays fan I am overcome with a variety of emotions this year. There is still a part of me that is amazed and thrilled that the Rays can and do repeatedly beat teams the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox. Then there is the part that knows how good this team should be and gets frustrated with their lack of wins.
This weekend was a perfect example. Saturday the Rays whooped the Red Sox 14-5, but on Sunday they beat themselves. That game made me grouchy.
Matt Garza pitched great again. His line said he gave up three runs, but I beg to differ. Aybar should have made that throw home, and someone should have caught the pop up to right. Who’s to blame there? Should Zobrist call him off, or should Aki catch it since he seemed to be right under it! Two free runs.
Why does Pena need a day off the day before a day off? Sure he’s been having a tough time against Beckett, but aren’t you messing with the flow of things? As Joe Morgan said “He plays first base, all he does is catch the ball.” He’s the king of unintentional comedy.
Either way this is something the Rays need to avoid at all costs, since it makes me want to vomit. Not to mention ugliest cleats ever.
Alright boys time to go on a winning extravaganza. Go Rays!
