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 […]
Damn did we ever earn that donut.
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Rays fans are wondering this morning why their team is trying to kill them!
First Matt Garza gave up home runs to the two guys we’d all like to thwomp, Youkilis and Pedroia.
Then the offense couldn’t seem to get anything going.
Then the bullpen bags sucked in the game winning run, and we had to listen to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Buehrle, Ya Big Bully.
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009First let me start by saying I’m not a fan of the White Sox. Matter of fact they are one of the teams I have an irrational distaste for. I hate that every time they hit a home run there seems to be at least two runners on base. I hate that the Rays seem […]
Garza Needs a Return Visit to the Baseball Guru.
Sunday, July 19th, 2009Well the Rays managed to sweep the Royals, but Mr. Garza looked a little unhinged. Time for another session with the Baseball Guru.
Guru - Back so soon Mr. Garza?
Matt - Mr. Maddon made me.
Guru - So what’s the dealio?
Matt - I’m getting pissed off all the time again.
Guru - Who are you pissed at?
Matt - Everyone, […]
Phucking A
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009So Rays, you got that out of your system right? I mean if you’re gonna suck, might as well all suck on the same night.
From the beginning this game was extremely painful. Longo made an errant throw and Jimmy Rollins ended up on 2nd. Then Price walked Victorino. That’s when the hitting started, and I wasn’t […]
The Curious Case of Long Balls
Thursday, June 18th, 2009The last two starting pitchers for the Rays seem to have come down with a case of long balls. Not to be confused with blue balls. This is very serious, for pitchers long balls can be fatal.
David Price had a mild case on Wednesday. This was unsettling as it was presumed that he was immune. However at the end of […]
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 […]
