The Rays are Broken.

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Is 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 […]

Odes to the MVP and LVP

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Jason Bartlett hit another home run in the third tonight so I thought he should be honored with a poem.
Barty, Barty he’s our man
If he can’t do it, nobody can
He’ll lay down a bunt or hit a sac fly
and he hardly ever lets a grounder go by
He can steal a base or two or three
last […]

Zobrist a Catalyst for Winning…

Friday, April 17th, 2009

and the winning is way more fun than the losing.
Someone needs to put it into writing.
The Tampa Bay Rays acknowledge that Benny Boo Boo Zobrist is the team’s official good luck charm.  With his new reddish beard, he even resembles an overgrown leprechaun.  He has a way of righting the ship.  Therefore as long […]

If you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell…

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Think Dice-K got tired of seeing Longo today?  Or did Garza’s face give Pedroia even more hell?  Either way that was a sweet win today.  Sweet I say!
The Rays won their first series, against the Red Sox, at Fenway, and I saw the game!  Ironically the game started with a Knology commercial that spewed about us all being […]

Game 144 - Rays vs. Red Sox

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

The Rays are rad!
Did you see that game?  I fell asleep.  No shit.  I did watch it when I woke up though, and of course I felt like I totally missed out on bonding with Rays fans worldwide.  Like how I assume there are Rays fans everywhere?
Anyway I’m so stoked that the little engine that […]

Game 143 - Rays vs. Red Sox

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Runs, Runs, Rays get Runs!
Of the baseball variety, not the type that would require Imodium AD.
People the Rays won last night at Fenway!  Rejoice.  They actually scored some runs, battled and looked like the Rays we’ve grown to love this season.
Kazmir was shaky at first but pitched a great game.  A lot of fly balls […]

Game 140 - Rays vs. Blue Jays

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

We all knew it was coming, but it sure doesn’t make it any less painful!
Percy has blown the lead in several games before, but somehow the Rays always managed to rally and get the win anyway.  Well this afternoon we got to experience what it’s like when Percy gets the loss.  It sucks fireballs!  You know […]

Game 123 - Rays vs. Rangers

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Balfour’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, 2008

Bloody 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 110 - Tigers vs. Rays

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

  
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.  […]
