Another Season in the Books.
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009The Tampa Bay Rays 2009 season is now in the books, and it is quite a collection of stories.
Beloved main characters were lost. Rocco Baldelli defected to enemy territory. Jonny Gomes found success in a different city, and Scott Kazmir headed to LA to try to become a star.
The team’s story got off to a […]
Reid My Lips…The Rays Won. Oh, and TICKETS!
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009It was a little scary there in the beginning, and the end is always scary with the state of the bullpen, but they managed to beat the Orioles and end the skid.
Reid Brignac had a mind to win the damn game himself if he had to. He went four for four and looked good on […]
The I Should Have Gone to Bed Game…
Thursday, August 27th, 2009Life has been pretty crazy around here, but last night I made an effort to watch the game as I was tooling around the house getting stuff done. Kazmir was looking great. He and Zaun seemed to have things figured out. The offense was struggling until Kapler decided it was time to take the lead. […]
O’ Kay that’s one.
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Yay, the Rays won the opener against the O’s. Just some quick thoughts tonight.
BJ really likes Berken’s pitching. He was a double away from the cycle. Yep, BJ. Can you imagine what this team could do if he were to get his bat going? Besides he’s super cute in his post game interviews.
David Price didn’t […]
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 […]
Save it…
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009James Shields doesn’t want to hear it. Save it. He’s heard all the excuses. He wants to know what the hell he has to do to get a little love around here. Pitch seven innings of no-hit ball? Check.
What else is it going to take? Surf and turf after the game? Lap dances? Sham-Wows? He only […]
JOBA - Jo Offense Be Anemic
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Word - Anemic
Lacking vigor or energy.
Can you tell me the origin? Ancient Greek.
Can you use it in a sentence? The Rays offense is anemic.
Garza pitched just fine, holding the Yanks to three runs. This loss rests on the offense. The bullpen didn’t help the cause but it didn’t matter since nobody was hitting the ball.
The Pena […]
Garza Needs a Return Visit to the Baseball Guru.
Sunday, July 19th, 2009Well the Rays managed to sweep the Royals, but Mr. Garza looked a little unhinged. Time for another session with the Baseball Guru.
Guru - Back so soon Mr. Garza?
Matt - Mr. Maddon made me.
Guru - So what’s the dealio?
Matt - I’m getting pissed off all the time again.
Guru - Who are you pissed at?
Matt - Everyone, […]
Rocky Mountain High
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009The Rays didn’t seem to have any problems with the altitude. Everybody was hitting and they easily put a stop to the Rockies hot streak. If someone could beat the stinkin Red Sox, the Rays might finally gain some ground!
Anyway that was a fun game, in that it seemed like a sure thing. What do […]
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 […]
