Game 138 - Yankees vs. Rays
Friday, September 5th, 2008(photo ESPN)
Can we get Jason Hammel one of those?
Yay, Nay, Whew. That’s how I felt last night. Yay, the Rays are beating the Yankees. Not just beating them but shutting them down. Then Nay, the ninth inning happened. Finally whew, they got the win.
I’m glad I didn’t post anything last night, since I was having […]
Game 99 - A’s vs. Rays
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Staats and Magrane storm forecasters on sucky pitcher night.
It was the top of the 4th when the Rays announcers predicted a storm and warned the fans. Even though it was Sonny, baseballs were being left up in the zone. They warned us that technically the A’s weren’t power surges, but if something didn’t change, severe […]
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 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 63 - Rays vs. Rangers
Sunday, June 8th, 2008Mr. Garza you are grounded.
I hope you are not proud of your behavior today. At first you did really well. Even when your friends were not sharing and dropping fly balls. You set a good example by bailing them out with strikeouts. However I did notice you shaking off your catcher several times.
It went downhill […]
Game 47 - Rays vs. A’s
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008UGLY
I didn’t even have to see it to know it was fugly. Tampa 1 - Oakland 9.
Sonny didn’t have it, and neither did Hammel.
The Rays had three hits, the A’s had three homeruns.
There weren’t any errors on the scoreboard, but from the sounds of it Gomes wasn’t making any plays in left field. He hit […]
Game 33 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008So how bad was it? My friends vetoed my choice to watch the Rays tonight, and I’m way to tired to go back and watch the recording. I did see updates throughout the game and have since checked the box score and all that good stuff, but that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Garza stayed right with Marcum […]
Game 26 - Rays vs. Orioles
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I’m blaming it on the cold. The Rays won six in a row…Where it’s warm! Tonight they lost 4-7, where it’s freakin frigid.
I was late getting to a TV and was quite surprised to see that Hammel was done early. Sounds like he didn’t have much control. He was cold!
The relievers weren’t themselves either. Yep, […]
Game 21 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Pregame - Most of the pregame discussion revolves around all of the roster moves/trades the Rays are making, or will be making as players come off the DL. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m a chick, but I’ve never gotten into debating these moves. I pretty much go on emotional involvment. In other […]
Game 16 - Rays vs. Twins
Thursday, April 17th, 2008Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Rays 7 - Twins 3
The Rays got a good solid outing from Hammel tonight. Would have been even better but he kept giving up two out hits.
They had a great fifth inning. Exactly the kind I asked for, where they string together some hits and send the pitcher to the bench. […]
