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 […]
She’s just not that into you, but…
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Yesterday I realized something. Even though I haven’t been that interested in the Rays, they only have three games left this season. Three games before they are out of our lives for the winter. Knowing how much I will miss those guys, I decided to appreciate them for the final weekend.
The Rays definitely didn’t live […]
Confessions of a Raysaholic
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Even 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 […]
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 […]
Christmas was sorta lame this year…
Friday, July 31st, 2009This trade deadline felt like Christmas. There was a lot of anticipation. There was a lot of speculation. The spirit of giving was in the air. However in the end, the other kids got all the cool gifts. Oh well, what are ya gonna do.
First Cliff Lee went to the Phillies. He would have made […]
Crunch Time
Sunday, July 26th, 2009All in all that was not a bad road trip. It wasn’t pretty, but it could have been much worse.
Saturday I got home right in the middle of the Rays comeback. That was fine by me because I missed all the bad stuff, and it hurts my heart when David Price doesn’t do well. However […]
That’s More Like It.
Friday, July 24th, 2009Pardon me fella, but could you please sit your ass back down.
Holy crap I got everything I asked for in my last post. The trip to the Guru worked and Garza found his zen like state, enabling him to pitch up to his potential. The Rays pulled their heads out of their behinds and scored […]
Heck yeah, Jefferson Niemann
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Thanks for being good at baseball and saving the bullpen and staying focused and striking out AJ and fighting for the win. You’re cool big guy.
I feel like I should maybe thank Bobby Jenks a little bit too?
Others deserving fist bumps…
Barty - Nice night at the plate, especially the lead off single in the ninth […]
Greinke Schmeinke
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 […]
Thoughts on the All-Star Game
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009It started off on a sad note when I found out Longo wouldn’t be playing. Where has that finger been? You’re right, I don’t want to know. At least he was replaced by Michael Young, whom I’ve always liked.
Pena was so geeked to be a part of these all-star festivities. Did you see his face […]
