Rays lost a bad one today

All I have to say, Riggans should have held on to the ball at the play at the plate. If he would have, then there would not have been that BOGUS call on the rundown that led to the Rays losing.

But they took 2 of 3, though it should have been a sweep.

Just For The Record, The Pittsburgh Steelers Do Rule

Yea, I have a post that is getting some traffic from Google.
I was a little ticked after a horrible loss to the Jets.

And for y'all who don't know, I go to a local place
that has a Steelers fan as an owner.

Y'all have seen my tattoos. I bleed Black and Gold.

STEELERS RULE!!!

That means I expect another Lombardi Trophy every year,
to go with the 5 the Steelers already have.

In the meantime.....

MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!

My first Rays game I saw live was in 1998. In St. Pete. At the Trop.

LETS GO RAYS!!!!

I take my post back about B.J.Upton

I take back what I posted about B.J. Upton earlier, a few posts down. Not that he has all of the talent in the world, because he does. The part about him not hustling. Well, he has been hustling lately, busting his ass, and made an INCREDIBLE catch tonight that saved at least 2 runs, most likely 3. He has been hitting the crap outta the ball also.

B.J., and the rest of the Rays, keep up the hard work, lets bring a World Series title here to the St. Petersburg area!!

LETS GO RAYS!!

The Tampa Bay Rays, Evan Longoria, Part 2

I'm telling ya, this kid is a future Hall of Famer. Y'all will see this at-bat on Sportscenter. What a SHOT he just hit. And then his defense is just super, he makes tough plays look routine.

Buy his rookie card, trade for him on your fantasy team, go see the Rays live, whatever. This kid is the real deal. If he is not rookie of the year, something is seriously wrong.

Evan Longoria

I tell ya, this dude rules. He makes outstanding plays look routine. This kid is a ballplayer, and if he does not get rookie of the year, something is seriously wrong.

And I'll tell ya this, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt is my all-time favorite ballplayer, and if Longoria keeps this up, he will surpass Schmidt as the greatest 3rd baseman of all-time. With all due respect to Brooks Robinson.

Edit: not 2 minutes after I posted this Longoria hit a 2-run triple.

Tampa Bay Rays, get rid of B.J. Upton

I love the Rays, I have been going to the games since the first season.

That said, I have never liked upton...the kid has all the tools in the world, but does not hustle. He half-asses everything. He just got thrown out on a play at first, where he should have been safe by a mile if he would have ran. The Rays better get rid of his lazy ass.

Damn, I'm glad my Dad ain't alive to see how some of these ballplayers approach the game. Hell, I would give my left nut and half of my right to be a major leaguer.

Now Longo? That dude rules...works hard, loves the game. CC? same thing. Jonny Gomes? That dude busts his ass. Imagine Gomes with the skills of Upton...people would be comparing him with Ruth...almost. But you get my point.

I love the Rays, but they need to get rid of upton.

The Rays head for the road

The Rays took 2 of 3 from Oakland, though Troy Percival made things a tad scary in the 9th. Now it is off to Kansas City for a 4 games series. It would great if they could sweep them, but I'll settle for 3 of 4.

Rays lose 7-4

Well, the nice little 7 game winning streak has ended. Very nice though, sweeping the red sux and taking 3 outta 4 from the Royals. Good to see Pena hit that shot in the 9th.

Tampa Bay Rays

They just beat the Royals 9-2, with the whole lineup contributing again. They go for the 4 game sweep tomorrow at 12:40. Man this is great, finally having a winning baseball team. I have been to plenty of games where there have been under 10,000 fans, and it has been so quiet you could almost here a pin drop.

Let's go Rays!!

Tampa Bay Rays win again!!

They just beat KC 11-2 in the first game of the series. That is what good teams do, beat up on the not-so-good teams.

How about them Rays!

Great 3 game sweep of the red sux. All 3 games were great. And Longoria is going to be rookie of the year. Right now, this reminds me of the 1991 Braves. I had been a Braves fan since the late '70s, because that was the closest team near me, plus the fact they were always on tv. I got laughed at A LOT for being a Braves fan. Then they had that magical season and lost one of the greatest World Series ever played.

The Rays are my first team now, though I'm still a Braves fan. Also, there is nothing wrong with The Trop. I have been to many games when there was a major thunderstorm going on. It is also so humid here at game time(7:10pm) it ain't even funny. The dome is fine, and it gets loud in there. I like sitting out there in left center, or anywhere on the first base side. Or right...heck I just like going to the games. But seeing how I'm moving across the state, I'll see far less games live.

And if you go, you MUST check out the Ted Williams museum.
