Another Season in the Books.
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009The Tampa Bay Rays 2009 season is now in the books, and it is quite a collection of stories.
Beloved main characters were lost. Rocco Baldelli defected to enemy territory. Jonny Gomes found success in a different city, and Scott Kazmir headed to LA to try to become a star.
The team’s story got off to a […]
Willy doesn’t know what all the fuss is about…
Monday, August 3rd, 2009This scoring runs thing isn’t that hard. Willy can do it from both sides of the plate.
I’m not the only one that’s been saying the Rays need to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and today he showed exactly why. He’s got a little pop. Just ask James Shields if he wants him in the […]

Saturday, July 18th, 2009.025 percent of serious Rays fans thought they would win this game tonight, but they managed to pull it off. Donuts for everyone!
Kazmir looked good. Kazmir looked strong. Kazmir left because something was wrong.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious. Forearm cramps are easily treated right?
Barty drove in the first run for the Rays with one of his […]
Well It Wasn’t Pretty…
Thursday, June 11th, 2009but we’ll take it. Rays win!
There were a few positives:
Niemann did work his way out of trouble a couple of times, although 3.2 innings is the opposite of stellar.
The bullpen actually did what they are paid to do. Shocker, I know.
Carlos Pena looked way better. He even hit a home run to the opposite field. […]
The Rays are Broken.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Is it my fault?
I wanted the Rays to find a way to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and Pat the Bat got a kink in the neck.
I wanted Price to be brought up, and Kazmir got hurt.
I wanted Percy gone, and now he is.
I wanted Zobrist to get more playing time, and Aki got the Tom […]
Well that sucked.
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009This game was frustrating because the Rays really seemed to outplay the A’s. It just felt like they would put that run up there first. Let’s play the blame game.
James Shields pitched a helluva game, but his offense couldn’t help him out. They deserve the lions share of the blame. They had a runner on […]
The Rays Fan Conundrum
Monday, May 11th, 2009As 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 […]
Ugh, the hurdle is getting higher.
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Honestly the Rays can’t expect to win games the way they played tonight. Too many negative factors.
Shields pitched a pretty good game, but he made two costly mistakes. First he walks the batter right before he gives up a home run. Negative. Then he hits a batter to give them another free run. Negative. So […]
Who’s in center? right?
Monday, March 16th, 2009As we get closer to the regular season there is something that concerns me about the Rays. Who’s playing the outfield? Carl Crawford is a given thank goodness. However if BJ Upton can’t make it back in time, the plan is to platoon both center and right field. Platooning is not my favorite, but I […]
Would the Real Rays Please Stand Up.
Monday, October 27th, 2008I can handle the Rays losing. As long as they are playing good, but last night they blew. Seriously, they blew chunks.
First of all it’s not always Sonny in Philadelphia. I think Rays fans everywhere knew trouble was brewing when Sonny came out and couldn’t throw strikes. Sonny always throws strikes, ugh.
Then there’s the Rays who can’t […]
