Confessions of a Raysaholic
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Even though it doesn’t seem like it around here lately, I am still addicted to the Rays. I love these guys, but they really have me torn this year between good baseball sense and basic emotions.
For example, I love Andy Sonnanstine and he’s really handsome but I did not want him on the mound Tuesday […]
West Coast Pep Talk
Friday, August 7th, 2009As we speak the Rays are in Seattle. They probably had an excellent cup of coffee this morning. Now that they are awake, it’s time that we chat.
Rays,
Stellar job taking two from Boston and rockin the Trop. That was so lovely.
Now I must apologize in advance. You see, I will be rooting for you this week, just […]
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 […]
Heck yeah, Jefferson Niemann
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Thanks for being good at baseball and saving the bullpen and staying focused and striking out AJ and fighting for the win. You’re cool big guy.
I feel like I should maybe thank Bobby Jenks a little bit too?
Others deserving fist bumps…
Barty - Nice night at the plate, especially the lead off single in the ninth […]
Shields Avoids the Long Ball Epidemic
Saturday, June 20th, 2009Since it was a day game with a rain delay, I did a kind of drive by viewing. However after the final pitch I let out a girly “Yay!” That’s what it’s come to in close games this year. It’s sort of suprising when the Rays find a way to win.
Know who I cheered the most […]
The Winning is Way More Fun.
Friday, May 29th, 2009I have to be honest though, that gave me a freakin heart attack. James Shields was great. He was like a security blanket, making me feel all warm and fuzzy. Matter of fact I was so comfortable that I had a tantrum when Mr. Maddon came to take him away. I’m terrified of the bullpen […]
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 […]
We don’t need no stinkin small ball…
Thursday, May 7th, 2009The Rays must have been out to impress the chicks tonight. You know since chicks dig the long ball. They hit 6 dingers, two off of Mr. Rivera. Obviously the new Yankees Stadium is some bizarro world of opposites.
Barty, who chicks dig anyway, got it started right off the bat. Get it, right off the bat. […]
Ugh, Relievers Provide no Relief at all.
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Nothing funny about tonight’s game, that sucked. Garza pitched a good game. He gave up two runs but most nights his offense should be able to help him out with that.
AJ Burnett was nasty. It wasn’t until the 7th inning that the Rays were able to scrape together some hits. They fought hard the whole […]
Catchin up with the Rays.
Monday, March 23rd, 2009A lot has happened in the Rays world since my last post.
Injuries - Two of my favorite outfielders had set backs. Just when BJ was finally getting started on his comeback, he got hit by a pitch. Infuriating. He should have charged the mound, but he shouldn’t really be throwing punches in his current state. Maybe he […]
