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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Some Strange Sunday
Sunday, May 17th, 2009That was for sure the strangest game of the season. First it starts off with a line-up problem. A problem that nobody clued the viewer in on. So we watched people walk around and huddle up. All while Staats and Kennedy speculate on what’s going on. Their first instinct was the Indians pitcher was wrong in […]
We don’t need no stinkin small ball…
Thursday, May 7th, 2009The Rays must have been out to impress the chicks tonight. You know since chicks dig the long ball. They hit 6 dingers, two off of Mr. Rivera. Obviously the new Yankees Stadium is some bizarro world of opposites.
Barty, who chicks dig anyway, got it started right off the bat. Get it, right off the bat. […]
ACME
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009For years the Red Sox have been looking for some way to stop Carl Crawford. After the game several boxes were discovered in the visitors dugout. They all had the ACME logo on them. Anti Carl Mission Equipment. You know the end of the story though, dude kept flying around the bases ala…
What a weekend. How did […]
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 […]
