HER RAYS!

Since it was a day game with a rain delay, I did a kind of drive by viewing.  However after the final pitch I let out a girly “Yay!”  That’s what it’s come to in close games this year.  It’s sort of suprising when the Rays find a way to win.

Know who I cheered the most for today?  Mother Nature.  When they pulled out the tarp, I was just hoping it would keep raining.  That’s called avoidance but today I was okay with that.

Wasn’t it nice to see a Rays starter not have a shitter inning where they walk people and then give up a home run.  Thank you James Shields.  You were excellent today.  Please share the secret of your success with the others.

Plus the offense was able to score against Santana.  Johan Santana.   What a treat, like pie and coffee.

Oh and Wheeler and JP finished the Mets off nicely.  All in all a good game that ended with a W for the good guys.  Let’s hope they can keep it going tomorrow.  Go Rays!

BJ has obviously been cursed.

Somewhere out there is a woman scorned.  She is a crazy, clingy chick and when BJ realized that he ran for the hills.  So what does an unstable person do?  She put a curse on him and his base running legs.  I can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier.  Think about it, he has been cursed the entire season on the base paths.  Tonights call against him is proof.  He didn’t do anything wrong and he was still out!  Even Maddon is at his wits end.

So what should he do?  He could just hit homeruns, then they couldn’t call him out on the basepaths.  The curse might cause him to trip or something but that we can live with.  He could also try to make amends with the crazy chick, but that could be dangerous.  What if she messes with his throwing arm and he can’t gun down runners like he did tonight.  The best solution would be to somehow cleanse himself from the curse.  Do the Rays have a voodoo doctor?

Oh, the Rays won tonight!  LA 2 – Tampa 4. 

Evan Longoria is not for a tobacco free Florida.  He was caught on camera dippin.

Barty had a good game.  He had a nifty double play in the first, the single that broke up the no hitter, and a bunt double.  Love him.

Shields started off rough again, but settled in and pitched eight innings.  How do I say this delicately…Either his pants are baggier or he has added some junk to the trunk.

Gabe Gross made a great play at the wall robbing Texiera.

Santana was filthy with almost no hits, but his relievers couldn’t hit the strike zone at all.

Aybar singled to drive in the game winning runs.  That’ll do.

Wheeler pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.  It was like Nestea.  Totally refreshing!

Rays win!  Shh, they might even have the best record in baseball.  Let’s hope they can keep it up tomorrow.  Go Rays!!
