Check out Bam Bam Jaso. Nice abs, and look at the size of that character’s feet.
Oh Wavis, no joke this is hilarious.
If anyone has more pics I’d love to see them.

Home-stand Re-cap
It was a good one. The end.
Just teasing. This was a great home-stand and since there was only intermittent blogging around here, I would like to review and give credit where credit was due. In speedy fashion.
It started with a bang. Matt Garza no-hit the Tigers, and Matt Joyce hit a grand slam!
The next night Shields was solid. Pena was on and Joyce had another big RBI. Plus there was a walk off double play!
Longo took care of the next game along with the best tag team ever of Beniot and Soriano.
David Price and Pena completed the sweep.
Then it was on to the Yankees where Wade Davis stepped up to the challenge. Joyce was the big hitter again. Love him.
Soriano uncharacteristically gave up a game winner to Cano.
I saw James Shields blank the Yanks and beat CC Sabathia. So great.
Hellickson is in the building. Strasburg who?
Two three run homers beat the Twins. Clap for Sean Rodriguez and BJ Upton.
The game with no offense.
The game with the Trop RBI, that the Rays probably shouldn’t have won anyway.
So 8-3 is pretty great considering the competition. It’s just that those three games they lost were so…attainable. Baseball is so friggan great and frustrating at the same time, but I love these guys.
Go Rays!
hhgregg (holy hell Gregg!)
A win is a win right? Last night I didn’t post anything because frankly it was one of those games where I just didn’t want to talk about it. Tonight’s game didn’t feel much better. Niemann wasn’t great but, it was like a study of opposites as far as hitting goes. The Jays were striking the ball hard and far, while the Rays were pretty much stinking up the joint, again.
Then in the seventh they started picking away at Toronto’s lead. I’m not really sure why they took Tallet out, but it worked for the Rays.
The way they have been playing lately, I still didn’t have oodles of confidence that a win was in their future. Enter Kevin Gregg. He made quick work of BJ Upton, but then the wheels fell off. He walked Carl, who stole second immediately. He had Carl picked off but threw the ball into center field, so Crawford took third. Gregg then walked Longo. We’ll skip the Pena at bat because it was shitty all around. He got out and so did Maddon. So there are two outs. I didn’t have a lot of hope, but Gregg was the gift that keeps on giving. He walked Jaso, and then walked in a run with Benny. Bases loaded for Sean Rodriguez. I still didn’t have hope, but Sean came up big! A double in the gap scored three. The Rays took the lead. Whoa.
Slowriano came in and saved the day. A win is a win right?
A couple of thoughts on the game…
It’s nice to see BJ in the lead-off spot again, let’s hope it sets him off.
Navi had a pretty good night. Credit where credit is due.
Balfour scared the crap out of me. Rodriguez sure saved his butt.
Briggy had a tad of a rough game. He did have an RBI double, but he looked pretty bad in his other at bats. He has a bit of Vladdy in him. He doesn’ t meet too many pitches he doesn’t like. I still love him even if he had an error in the bottom of the ninth that caused me and many others serious stress.
A win is a win right? Put this one in the books and let’s hope the Rays can be more convincing tomorrow. Go Rays!
Sori-Oh-NO…
The Rays lost tonight. I know right? I’m not really sure how to feel about it. I am aware that they are not going to win every game this season, but it still kind of sucks. Mostly because the game seemed to be right there within their reach.
Both teams played solid. Bannister shut down the Rays and Niemann was doing the same to the Royals. The defense was superb tonight. Pena was lobbying for his gold glove award.
Since the Rays haven’t lost in a while, let’s nitpick.
Jeff Niemann was visibly fatigued in the seventh inning. He walked the first batter. Tough call, but I might have went to the bullpen there. He did end up giving up the tying run, but also got a ground ball double play which Longo handled with ease. I was shocked to see him come back out in the eighth. Of course he walked the first batter. He and Choate were able to get out of the inning, so I guess that shows you why I’m not the manager.
Sean Rodriguez grounded into a double play in the 8th. Where was Briggy? He’s hot. Where is the respect for the hot streak. That’s probably why Jaso was off too, his buddy Reid didn’t have his back.
Soriano did not have it today. He kept hitting the bats. Let’s not make a habit of THAT.
The offense tried to pull it out but came up just short. Like one foot short. Dagnabit.
Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Let’s have some more wins. Go Rays!
