Game 80 - Rays vs. Pirates
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Throw back game or throw away game?
Ever feel like you’re watching an experiment? Or a test maybe? Like Joe Maddon sent Glover and Hammel in to see if they could hang? Glover could. Hammel not so much.
Don’t get me wrong, the bats deserve some of the blame for this game, but it just felt curious […]
Game 73 - Astros vs. Rays
Friday, June 20th, 2008The Astros were due to win one.
The Rays had a little bit of a post Cubs let down, and the Astros had to win one sometime. That’s how baseball rolls. Or it could be that I’m over analyzing things and justify the loss. Astros 4 - Rays 3.
Speaking of over-analyzing and justifying, according to the […]
Game 72 - Cubs vs. Rays
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Can I just say, “Wow!”
Musical positions + dueling starters + off duty relievers + superhero grand slam = sweep?? Wow. Chicago 3 - Tampa 8.
Jason Bartlett was scratched from the lineup, which led everyone to believe his wife was having a baby, but evidently he bruised his foot during batting practice. Hope it’s nothing serious. That led […]
Game 69 - Marlins vs. Rays
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I was there! Edwin’s best stuff was not.
Well it was not one of the Rays better games, but it was great to finally get out to the Trop. I even got a little choked up when the boys first ran out onto the field. I love baseball. It’s a game for the senses.
SIGHTS - A diving […]
Game 58 - Rays vs. Red Sox
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Gettin away from Garza.
Everything was getting away from Matt Garza tonight. His pitches were getting away, and since they were comin up and in the batters started getting away, and then in the sixth the game got away from him. Did he have onions at dinner?
The Rays lost one tonight even though they didn’t play bad. I’m […]
Game 52 - Rangers vs. Rays
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008What do you mean? The Rays aren’t invincible?
They have been flat out awesome lately, but tonight they just couldn’t pull it off. Sonny was pitching batting practice and the score was 7-0 when the second inning was done. For a moment it looked like they might make a comeback, but they couldn’t hold off those Rangers. […]
Game 51 - Rangers vs. Rays
Monday, May 26th, 2008Great Scott What a Memorable Memorial Day!
The great Mr. Hinske once said “We’re just havin fun and ridin the wave.” So are your fans sir, so are your fans. The Rays took the first game of the series from the Rangers tonight. Texas 3 - Tampa 7.
Scott Kazmir was phenomenal. He pitched seven innings and […]
Game 49 - Orioles vs. Rays
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Not on TV!!!
This is a game I wish I could have seen! Even if it was a bit like batting practice for the Rays. What do Staats and Magrane do on these nights? They wouldn’t want to miss the Commodores.
Evan Longoria is way hotter than Eva. The fact that I’m not a switch hitter might […]
Game 44 - Rays vs. Cardinals
Sunday, May 18th, 2008Walk this way….
The Rays lost another tough one today in the bottom of the ninth. Tampa 4 - St. Louis 5. So they couldn’t take advantage of this series and they are now one game behind Boston. That’s not a very uplifting sentence, is it. I guess it’s such a bummer because the Cardinals didn’t […]
Game 41 - Yankees vs. Rays
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Riggan a series win!
The Rays win AGAIN. Cool beans. New York 2 - Tampa 5.
Some of my thoughts from the game:
Longo makes a great diving stop to start the game. Love him.
Aki hit a lead off homerun! That new do is serving him well.
Riggy gets a nice base hit in the 3rd. Zobrist is […]
