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 […]
O’ Kay that’s one.
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Yay, the Rays won the opener against the O’s. Just some quick thoughts tonight.
BJ really likes Berken’s pitching. He was a double away from the cycle. Yep, BJ. Can you imagine what this team could do if he were to get his bat going? Besides he’s super cute in his post game interviews.
David Price didn’t […]
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 […]
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 […]
Rocky Mountain High
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009The Rays didn’t seem to have any problems with the altitude. Everybody was hitting and they easily put a stop to the Rockies hot streak. If someone could beat the stinkin Red Sox, the Rays might finally gain some ground!
Anyway that was a fun game, in that it seemed like a sure thing. What do […]
They’re Coming Back Folks…
Friday, June 12th, 2009Can you feel it?
Longo hit one out to straight away center. Welcome back O great one.
Pena is finding his way. Driving in four is hot!
Navi made some solid contact. Promising.
Brignac even got in on the action.
The bullpen didn’t allow a run. Did you hear that? The bullpen didn’t allow a run. Wahoo.
Pat the Bat is […]
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. […]
