Friday night I got home kind of late and I sat there with a lot of hope thinking the Rays would make it happen. If I had watched the whole game I might not have had that hope. The middle of the order was like a big ole free pass for the Mariners. That’s a hard way to win games.
Fast forward to this afternoon. James Shields goes to work. He held Seattle to two runs, but as is often the case his offense wasn’t helping him out. Finally Longo got the first hit, and it became a ball game.
Team Brignac had another reason to get excited today. Good job Reid!
Pat Burrell was designated for assignment and the day he leaves Willy Aybar hits a walk off home run. Somehow it seems fitting.
I really wish Pat the best of luck where ever he ends up. From the beginning this just wasn’t a good fit for him. He never really seemed comfortable and that’s a bummer for both sides.
Let’s hope the Rays can pick up the series tomorrow. Go Rays!
You’re right about Burrell not being a fit from day 1. Shame. He was good in Philly, but some guys aren’t cut out to be DHs. I hope he just fades into the sunset rather than trying to hang on. He was good.
I like the way you let Pat off easy. Let’s face it, he tried but I guess age has started to set in the same as Griffey and when he is gone, it will be a sad day.
I’m on a new kick. Let’s support & praise the Rays and bash the apponents. Wow what a great idea! Lots of bloggers like to find fault and can’t find praise. We need to ride the good times and there will be some bumps in the road. Lets Go Rays
