Game 120 - Rays vs. A’s
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Bloody hell mates, what you got against Texas?
It sure seemed like the Rays were doing anything they could to avoid finishing this game and heading to Texas. Somebody should have called time-out to bribe the boys with promises of big Texas sized steaks and beer and women if that’s what it takes. I missed the […]
Game 102 - Rays vs. Royals
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Wow, a road win!
I think there are times that a position player should get credit for the save. Last night when I heard Percival was warming up, my reaction was…Uh Oh they better try to get some insurance runs, because one run isn’t going to cut it for Percy. Not exactly the feeling you […]
Game 101 - Rays vs. Royals
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Royal Suckdom.
Tampa 2 - Kansas City 4
Royally Good
Gill Meche - He shut down the Rays. Not that that’s really hard lately, but he never let them in the game.
Jason Bartlett - Welcome back! Guess he doesn’t want people to miss Zobrist’s bat. He went 3-3 with a double. Plus he made a couple of outstanding plays in […]
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 98 - A’s vs. Rays
Monday, July 21st, 2008Wow, good one boys!
Baseball is a game that you can sink into your couch and soak up every detail, but it is also a game that you can multi-task through and still keep up on your favorite team. There is one thing I can’t do though, I can’t read and watch baseball. I’m guilty of that […]
Game 95 - Blue Jays vs. Rays
Friday, July 18th, 2008They’re back!
Aki had a great first at bat. He worked, saw a lot of pitches and ended up with a base hit. I’d love to see that from him every time.
The first couple of innings the Rays were really working Burnett, even getting a couple on base but they couldn’t capitalize on it.
Navi had a […]
On the Road Again…
Monday, July 7th, 2008Since the Rays are on the road again, and I am on a road trip, I got to thinking…What would the guys be like on a road trip in a VW microbus? Besides crowded.
This is what comes to my warped mind.

Garza hopped up on sour patch kids playing video games.

Game 83 - Red Sox vs. Rays
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008So stoked!
Garza had a second outing of pure awesomeness! Navi drove in two runs! Longo made a web gem of all web gems! Howell held ‘em! Balfour was sick! Rays win! Boston 1 - Tampa 3.
I’m having such a hard time not gushing about this team. Don’t want to jinx them ya know, but have […]
Game 82 - Red Sox vs. Rays
Monday, June 30th, 2008Rays win round one!
Boston 4 - Tampa 5! Rock on.
BJ Upton started it all with a first pitch homer. So should he be a lead off hitter or a clean up hitter!
Lowell drove in a run in the fourth to tie it up, but Gabe Gross turned around and crushed a two run homer in […]
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 […]
