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 […]
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 […]
JOBA - Jo Offense Be Anemic
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Word - Anemic
Lacking vigor or energy.
Can you tell me the origin? Ancient Greek.
Can you use it in a sentence? The Rays offense is anemic.
Garza pitched just fine, holding the Yanks to three runs. This loss rests on the offense. The bullpen didn’t help the cause but it didn’t matter since nobody was hitting the ball.
The Pena […]
FabuKaz!
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009Scott Kazmir was faboosh tonight! He actually pitched seven innings. Seven. He outdueled Sabathia. Unbelievable.
His name has come up in trade rumors, and as is typical I have a total chick reaction to that. I know it might be best for the team, but it’s Scott Kazmir. He was good for the Rays when no […]
Come On!
Monday, July 27th, 2009This game made me grouchy right from the get go! Why the heck wasn’t it in HD? Come on!
Where is Brian Anderson? I want Brian Anderson. Come on!
What is it about AJ Burnett? The Rays seem to be rendered useless when he’s on the mound. Is the snarl his source of power? Come on!
Shields had […]
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 […]
Yo Yo Game
Saturday, July 18th, 2009What a yo yo game. It was great to see the Rays back in action, but man were my emotions all over the place.
Everything was going along fine. Kansas scored in the first but it was early. Sure enough the Rays scored a couple and all was right with the world, until…
Kaplowee! Pitcher combustion. Shields […]
