The Rays are rad!
Did you see that game? I fell asleep. No shit. I did watch it when I woke up though, and of course I felt like I totally missed out on bonding with Rays fans worldwide. Like how I assume there are Rays fans everywhere?
Anyway I’m so stoked that the little engine that could keeps on going. They think they can, they think they can.
Troy Percival might need more than just positive thinking to get back on track though. Wow. There were so many times I thought the Rays had lost that game last night.
It started with the Dan Wheeler deja vu experiment. Let’s walk Youlikis again, and pitch to Jason Bay. Glad Wheeler rewrote the ending.
Finally Pena, the hunk of burnin love, hit a three run homer. So awesomely rad.
Not so fast though. Percy comes in and immediately loads the bases. Thank heavens Maddon is losing his patience with him and sat him down. I’m all for Percy trying to be awesome, but if you’re hurt you’re going to do nothing but hurt the team. Time to admit that until you’re healthy someone else is better suited for the job.
Hammel, the unlikeliest of heroes, comes in and saves the day. Now I feel really bad about not wanting to let him on the bus the other day!
Rays won, in Boston. How sweet is that? A big ole free donut sweet, I say. Go Rays!!
