Even though it doesn’t seem like it around here lately, I am still addicted to the Rays. I love these guys, but they really have me torn this year between good baseball sense and basic emotions.
For example, I love Andy Sonnanstine and he’s really handsome but I did not want him on the mound Tuesday night. I wanted Kazmir. When I use my good baseball sense I know the Kazmir trade was smart, but my basic emotions thought the timing stunk because I wanted him to pitch against Lester. I wish Scott well and I hope he gets a tan or something because he definitely looks better in blue.
BJ Upton also had me torn. He is so great on defense and there’s nothing better than watching him gun down runners. However I hear a sucking sound every time he comes to the plate. Now last night he looked much better and I’m hoping he’s turning it around, because I was really starting to think they should pinch hit for him in big situations. Come back to us Beej!
JP is causing me stress too. Now is not the time for our bullpen savior to fall apart. Send him to the guru stat!
Pat the Bat I thought you blew, but you can hit the ball, who knew!
Welcome back Mr. Longoria. Perfect timing, now lose the beard. I say that with nothing but love.
Team Barty! WooHoo!
So what’s the biggest Rays question in my pea sized brain? Are they still in it? Tuesday I said no, Wednesday I said maybe so??? What’s a girl to think? Go Rays!
Oh and Mr. Perez’s mustache is a thing of beauty. It reminds me of someone???
You’ve a nice ballclub down there, no doubt. The trouble is, you’re stuck in that AL East with the Yankees and Red Sox. Like my (other favorite) team the Orioles, they could win 90 games and finish third.
It was a huge effort for your guys to get to the WS last year, and they ran into a buzz saw (my favorite) Phillies.
I’m afraid it will be hit or miss, unless they can get re-located to the AL Central or NL Central.
They are a nice team. They just haven’t all played well at any point this season. If starting pitching is good, there’s no offense. If there’s offense, the bullpen blows it. It’s maddening, or Maddoning maybe!
Consider yourself lucky the Phils were great last year, and they’re looking good again this year.
