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 […]
She’s just not that into you, but…
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Yesterday I realized something. Even though I haven’t been that interested in the Rays, they only have three games left this season. Three games before they are out of our lives for the winter. Knowing how much I will miss those guys, I decided to appreciate them for the final weekend.
The Rays definitely didn’t live […]
Rays Fans Need Off-day More Than the Team Does
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Jeff Niemann needs to channel his inner Red Forman.
Grant Balfour - “Jeff, I’m really sorry man. How about I take you out to dinner?”
Jeff Niemann - “How about I put my foot in your ass!”
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well It Wasn’t Pretty…
Thursday, June 11th, 2009but we’ll take it. Rays win!
There were a few positives:
Niemann did work his way out of trouble a couple of times, although 3.2 innings is the opposite of stellar.
The bullpen actually did what they are paid to do. Shocker, I know.
Carlos Pena looked way better. He even hit a home run to the opposite field. […]
The Rays are Broken.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Is it my fault?
I wanted the Rays to find a way to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and Pat the Bat got a kink in the neck.
I wanted Price to be brought up, and Kazmir got hurt.
I wanted Percy gone, and now he is.
I wanted Zobrist to get more playing time, and Aki got the Tom […]
Some Strange Sunday
Sunday, May 17th, 2009That was for sure the strangest game of the season. First it starts off with a line-up problem. A problem that nobody clued the viewer in on. So we watched people walk around and huddle up. All while Staats and Kennedy speculate on what’s going on. Their first instinct was the Indians pitcher was wrong in […]
What’s for dinner?
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009All you can eat meatballs of course!
That game sucked. I love Sonny but he’s been more like Cloudy this year. He faced 15 batters and only really got four of them out. Yep it was a pitchers duel.
I actually went to take a shower in the middle of the game. Of course once I got […]
