Game 123 - Rays vs. Rangers
Monday, August 18th, 2008Balfour’s Percy impersonation was not amusing!
First, sorry no post on Saturday’s game. There was really not too much to say about it. It was kinda like tit for tat. Garza shut them out and so they returned the favor.
However last night the Rays won another series. That is so groovy. You know what else is […]
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 […]

Closers or Openers??
The Rays won a doozy this afternoon in extra innings. Final score Detroit 5 - Tampa 6. Some thoughts on the game…
When I turned on the TV there was some bizarro cartoon involving the Rays and an ice cream lady. I came into it in the middle so I was a little confused. […]
Game 108 - Tigers vs. Rays
Friday, August 1st, 2008Double the fun.
2 new shoes for Scott Kazmir. Could that explain him being uncomfortable?
2 doubles
2 triples
2 home-runs
2 times caught stealing
2 ER for Kazmir
2 strike outs for Percy
2 strike outs for Longo
2 strike outs for Pena
2 walks for Hinske

2 legit stolen bases
2 times Rays pitching loaded […]
Game 107 - Rays vs. Blue Jays
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Percy and his clown feet are winning me back one step at a time.
The Rays won again today 3-2. Percy got the save, in a one run game. He didn’t walk anybody, he didn’t load the bases, he didn’t give up a run! He was down right boring, but I’m okay with that. I thought […]
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 100 - A’s vs. Rays
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008100 down, 62 to go!
The Rays picked up another series win today. Sure would be great if they could keep doing that.
Shields was really good again, pitching into the ninth. He’s been so solid at home.
Two guys that I have love/hate relationships were instrumental in the big win. Gomes and Zobrist. Both of these blokes […]
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 […]
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.
Kazmir giving Shields a manicure.
Garza hopped up on sour patch kids playing video games.
Sonny picking […]
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 […]
