Remember when you were in high school and there were only a couple of weeks left of school and everybody had senioritis. They were just coasting until school was officially over. Yeah well I have a case of something similiar in regards to the Rays wrapping up the season.
I’m still going to games and watching them on TV but I’m not really into it. It might have something to do with being traumatized by rattle drums, but I’m not even phoning it in. I’m already dreaming of the off season and what kind of moves the team might make. By the way these dreams all revolve around a bullpen overhaul with a side of Joe Mauer.
I even tried to watch the Durham Bulls the other night when they were on ESPN. Hellickson and Jennings were a treat to watch. I hope to see them with the Rays next season, but when they brought in the relief pitcher and he started giving up homeruns, I had to look away. Especially since the Rays pitchers were doing the same thing on the other channel. I’ll suffer through, but it is definitely time for a new season with fresh hope.
Too bad you looked away from the Bulls game. Agree that Jason Cromer was awful, but as far as I know that was his first ever appearance as a reliever. DePaula and Talbot later on looked pretty good. They both show some promise, especially Talbot if he has gotten over his arm troubles.
Chris, I know, I did follow up later and saw that they won. I wanted to see Talbot too. Somewhere in the Rays 11 game losing streak my positive attitude took a hit. I’m still trying to find my way back. I guess I should have followed the Bulls more huh?
