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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well It Wasn’t Pretty…
Thursday, June 11th, 2009but we’ll take it. Rays win!
There were a few positives:
Niemann did work his way out of trouble a couple of times, although 3.2 innings is the opposite of stellar.
The bullpen actually did what they are paid to do. Shocker, I know.
Carlos Pena looked way better. He even hit a home run to the opposite field. […]
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 […]
Well that sucked.
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009This game was frustrating because the Rays really seemed to outplay the A’s. It just felt like they would put that run up there first. Let’s play the blame game.
James Shields pitched a helluva game, but his offense couldn’t help him out. They deserve the lions share of the blame. They had a runner on […]
Turn that frown upside down.

Okay I don’t know if Spring is in the air or what but that was so hot. Mister Garza was damn near perfect. The team really needed a charge and boy did he deliver. He even proved that Pedroia can’t hit the high inside fast ball. If only Jacoby Ellsbury wasn’t so bloody fast… Barty […]
Zobrist a Catalyst for Winning…

and the winning is way more fun than the losing.
Someone needs to put it into writing.
The Tampa Bay Rays acknowledge that Benny Boo Boo Zobrist is the team’s official good luck charm. With his new reddish beard, he even resembles an overgrown leprechaun. He has a way of righting the ship. Therefore as long […]
Oh what a night…
Monday, April 13th, 2009The Rays home opener was quite a ride. It started with the raising of the championship banners. I bet there were big biker dudes all misty eyed in the stands. It gave me goosebumps. My only complaint is that they didn’t show the Yankees dugout at all. I wanted to see their reactions.
Then the Rays […]
Rays overcome allergy to RISP
Sunday, April 12th, 2009Dude, I’m telling you chicks dig it…
Saturday and Sunday’s games were like a study in opposites.
Saturday gave me nightmares of the old days. Niemann recovered from his horrendous first inning, but the Rays couldn’t do squat when they had runners on base. After games like that it’s hard not to worry. I know it’s April, […]
