Sunday, August 30th, 2009Which is worse?
Not being able to watch the Rays game and finding out they blew it, or witnessing the painful loss?
Getting to work and finding out they gave you the wrong coffee or the watered down drinks at the bar later?
Missing your connecting flight or sitting at a complete standstill in rush hour traffic?

The I Should Have Gone to Bed Game…
Thursday, August 27th, 2009Life has been pretty crazy around here, but last night I made an effort to watch the game as I was tooling around the house getting stuff done. Kazmir was looking great. He and Zaun seemed to have things figured out. The offense was struggling until Kapler decided it was time to take the lead. […]
Still in it.
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009I’m not really sure what to say about this weekend, except the Rays are still in it. Friday night was good, Saturday night was fun, but Sunday the Rays got shutdown. We were all rooting for a sweep so that took the wind out of the sail a little bit. Although I think everyone would agree […]
O’ Damn It.
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Close, yet so far away.
I got home late tonight, so I didn’t see the first five innings. The last four innings were pretty eventful though.
Top of 6th - Shields was cruising along but hit a road block when Longo biffed a throw. He was able to get two outs, but he also walked two. Result […]
O’ Kay that’s one.
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Yay, the Rays won the opener against the O’s. Just some quick thoughts tonight.
BJ really likes Berken’s pitching. He was a double away from the cycle. Yep, BJ. Can you imagine what this team could do if he were to get his bat going? Besides he’s super cute in his post game interviews.
David Price didn’t […]
Hopelessly Devoted
Sunday, August 16th, 2009I guess when it comes right down to it, I’m hopelessly devoted to this team. Although I have been mighty frustrated with them lately. They are teasing us something terrible.
A losing team is something Rays fans can handle. They’ve had a lot of practice at it. Then last year our lovable losers were transformed into […]
The Agony of Defeat
Thursday, August 13th, 2009I recorded the Rays game today with the intention of watching it later. Then I saw the final score. That’s when I decided to spare myself the pain and agony of defeat.
Instead I made a movie about a conversation that I had with Gregg Zaun in one of my day dreams. Yes I know that’s […]
That is not what we discussed!
Monday, August 10th, 2009Rays, Rays, Rays, that is not what we discussed. The wild card is right there for the taking. I don’t think I have to tell you that losing a series to the Mariners is not optimal right now.
Alright move on, no sense in dwelling on it now. It’s over. Focus on winning the series against […]
West Coast Pep Talk
Friday, August 7th, 2009As we speak the Rays are in Seattle. They probably had an excellent cup of coffee this morning. Now that they are awake, it’s time that we chat.
Rays,
Stellar job taking two from Boston and rockin the Trop. That was so lovely.
Now I must apologize in advance. You see, I will be rooting for you this week, just […]
Damn did we ever earn that donut.
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Rays fans are wondering this morning why their team is trying to kill them!
First Matt Garza gave up home runs to the two guys we’d all like to thwomp, Youkilis and Pedroia.
Then the offense couldn’t seem to get anything going.
Then the bullpen bags sucked in the game winning run, and we had to listen to […]
