Ugh, the hurdle is getting higher.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Honestly the Rays can’t expect to win games the way they played tonight.  Too many negative factors. 
Shields pitched a pretty good game, but he made two costly mistakes.  First he walks the batter right before he gives up a home run.  Negative.  Then he hits a batter to give them another free run.  Negative.  So […]

My favorite show

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Last night I finally got to sit down and enjoy my favorite show, the Tampa Bay Rays.  Now the show has gotten some pretty rough reviews lately, but I thought last night’s episode was excellent, a winner you might say.  It almost kept me entertained for the three hour duration, but alas I literally couldn’t […]

Game 160 - Rays vs. Tigers

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Ding Dong, the wicked witches of the east are dead!
Um, holy crap the Rays just won the AL East!  Admittedly in anti-climatic fashion, but who cares.  They won the division!  I’m really glad they clinched the playoff spot at home so they could celebrate with the fans.
I totally got all choked up watching Kurk’s Ray […]

Game 153 -Twins vs. Rays

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Man, I love these guys!!
I’m kind of at a loss for words this morning.  It’s hard to express how sweet that victory was yesterday.  You see a big part of me wants to gush and go on and on about how great this team is, but the more practical side realizes that this is just […]

Game 152 - Twins vs. Rays

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

An ode to my awesome evening at the Trop…
B oo-yah!  I freakin hate this word, and the fat sweaty guy in my section who kept screaming it, is lucky I didn’t kick him in the back of the head for being the one dark spot on a fantastic evening.
E d-WIN Jackson!  That’s the second time I’ve see […]

Game 151 - Twins vs. Rays

Goodwill Hunting…….the hell??!!!!
So after Percy pitched the eighth and didn’t give up any runs, I was getting sleepy.  I switched over to watch a little bit of Goodwill Hunting.  If you knew me, you’d know that I have a serious problem with getting sucked into movies.  Even if I’ve seen them a hundred times before.  […]

Game 118 - Rays vs. A’s

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Don’t worry Rays, nobody saw your blunders.  Proceed as if they never happened please.
Between the Olympics and no TV coverage of the game does this loss even count?  Fraid so. 
Word is the Rays lost last night.  Tampa 1 - Oakland 2.  Sounds like a tough game, but the real story is they let it get away with […]

Game 68 - Marlins vs. Rays

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Thank You Twins.
I almost have a little guilt after games like today.  The Rays won.  Marlins 1 - Rays 4.  The two guys picked up from the Twins made it happen.
Garza pitched seven innings, three hits and 1 run.  He is officially ungrounded.  Congrats on getting back to your bad self.
Bartlett had a 2 RBI single […]

Game 16 - Rays vs. Twins

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!  Rays 7  - Twins 3
The Rays got a good solid outing from Hammel tonight.  Would have been even better but he kept giving up two out hits. 
They had a great fifth inning.  Exactly the kind I asked for, where they string together some hits and send the pitcher to the bench.  […]

Game 15 - Rays vs. Twins

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

It’s April 17th and I’m already crabby with this team!  The Rays lost another close one last night (5-6)to make it three in a row.  Ugh.  They have so much potential and we’ve seen glimpses of it, but they haven’t really put it together.  I just want to see them shine, for more than one […]
