HER RAYS!

A Tampa Bay Rays Blog From The Other Half

In my previous post I informed you of a shockingly awful list published by Fox Sports in which they attempted to pick the hottest men in baseball.  As promised I will give you my list, a better list.  However, this task is not as easy as one might think.  For one I can’t seem to keep my Rays bias out of it, and it is really hard to narrow it down to ten guys.  So I’m cheating and going with ten AL players and ten NL players.  Oh and I’m not even bothering to put them in order.

American League

Carlos Pena – yep, biased
Ian Kinsler - one of many hot Rangers 
Grady Sizemore – he even has his own following, Grady’s Ladies
Jason Bartlett – more bias, but Twins fans get it
Tori Hunter – just a very handsome fella
Ryan Sweeney – plays for the A’s now giving them one hot guy
Justin Morneau – some would prefer Mauer, but not this girl
Nick Markakis – cute and really good at baseball
CJ Wilson – wowza is all I have to say
George Kottaras – Sox fans would probably put Jacoby here, but I think their new catcher is super cute

National League
disclaimer – I don’t really follow the NL but word on the street is these are the guys.

Matt Kemp – not a bad choice by Fox
Brandon Phillips – love that smile
Ryan Zimmerman – super awesome at baseball doesn’t hurt his cause
Jeff Francoeur – Frenchy the heartbreaker
David Wright – even cuter in person, love his lashes
Ryan Howard – many would go with Chase Utley or Cole Hammels, but I think Ryan is so cute.
JJ Hardy – wow who knew, maybe I should start following the NL
Joey Votto – with a name like that you just gotta be hot
Brad Ausmus – my friend said she would disown me if he wasn’t included
Rick Ankiel – pitchers who can hit rock my world

I really think Evan Longoria and BJ Upton should be on there too, but four Rays might have been a bit much.  Sooze over at Babes Love Baseball was also inspired to create a real list of hot players.  She does include Longo and she has a great picture of him.

Well there you have it.  The game we all know and love is filled with  treats for the eyes.

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 made a great play on that ball and a slower man would have been toast.  Oh well it was still fantastic to watch.  Way to rock and fire Matt.

Mr. Hernandez deserves some credit tonight too.  After watching Navi’s horrible performance last night, Michel really looked like a pro.  He helped make Garza perfect, and he hit too.  What a concept.  Hopefully that’s the little prod that Navi needs.

I don’t know what turned these guys around but I hope it’s here to stay.  Everybody was hitting, even Gabe Gross.  I hope they saved some runs for the rest of the series!

Did anyone else notice the music as Josh Beckett was leaving the field?  So ya had a bad day…That cracked me up.

A couple more observations:
The Red Sox catcher Kottaras is very cute.
It still hurts my heart to see Rocco in the wrong dugout with the wrong clothes on.
Every team needs a Van Everything.  Where can we get one?  Can Zobrist pitch?

Hey Rays, how about winning two in a row.
