Game 30 - Rays vs. Red Sox

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Am I the only one that felt really sorry for James Shields last night?  He just did not have it.  Those darn Red Sox were hitting everything.  He gave it the ol college try but could not stop the bleeding.
I keep a notepad by me when I watch the game.  So last night when Gabe […]

Game 16 - Rays vs. Twins

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Winner 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.  […]

Could Justin Bring the Sexy Back to Right Field??

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Who is Justin Ruggiano?  He’s right fielder number four for the Rays, but we’ve hardly gotten a chance to get to know him.  Perhaps everything he touches turns to gold ala another Justin, Timberlake.  Gomes and Hinske are great, just not in the field.  Haynes is not great, at the plate.  So when will Justin […]

Game 14 - Yankees vs. Rays

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

After Monday’s game I found the differing emotions of Rays bloggers rather interesting.  A couple of us, myself included, were in the “at least they showed some spark” camp.  Others were understandably either pissed off or choking back tears of frustration.
While I think the mood you’re in when you sit down to watch the game has a lot to […]

Game 13 - Yankees vs. Rays

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I couldn’t make it home until about 9pm tonight and I didn’t have it in me to rewind the game to the beginning.  I had a vague idea of what was going on because every where you go in Florida there are Yankees fans.  So I’d heard about multiple homeruns, yada yada.  Why do I […]

Game 11 - Orioles vs. Rays

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

The story of the day was Evan Longoria’s debut, complete with pregame interviews and shots of his family cheering him on.  It was all pretty exciting until the Rays lost a downer of a game.  Orioles 3 - Rays 2. 
Here are some of my thoughts:
Rough first inning for Hammel.  Roberts leads off with a double and […]

Game 10 - Orioles vs. Rays

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Well I came in late, just as the O’s were making it 5-2.  So I really didn’t get to see how Shields did.  From reading the recap the game sounds a little sloppy to that point.  Evidently only two of those runs were earned.
Some thoughts on the part of the game I did watch.
Miller got […]

Game 9 - Mariners vs. Rays

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Now that’s more like it!!  0-7 Rays!
There’s nothing quite like watching/checking a game on gamecast while trying to work.  First, the computer gives you bare bone details, so everything is boring.  Hit by pitch, ground out, homerun it all looks the same.  You never know if a ground out is basic or if Jason Bartlett […]

Game 3 - Rays vs. Yankees

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Just as I wished for in my lame poem.  The Rays brought their “A” game and rocked the house that Ruth built.  Here are some of my thoughts from the game.
Nice piece of announcing by Staats and Magrane with back to back errors.  First they said Johnny Damon is serving his one game suspension, and […]

Game 2 - Rays vs. Orioles

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Pregame - Another cold night in Baltimore.  As a fan I prefer settling in for the night games though.  Maybe it’s just that I live in Florida, but I have a hard time sitting down for three hours in the middle of the afternoon.  Especially when it’s 80 degrees and sunny outside.  Staats and Magrane […]
