You know that scene at the end of “Bull Durham” when Crash Davis returns to Durham after retiring. Crash is tired. He doesn’t want to think about baseball. He doesn’t want to think about Quantum Physics. He didn’t want to think about anything. He just wanted to be. We feel [...]

Drays Bay would like you to think that championships mean nothing. Apparently, some people are saying this season possesses no positive aspect due to the World Series results. This is irrational and frankly embarrassing to the fan base. Few teams improve by 31 games and even fewer teams do it [...]

No live blog…but let’s throw this up as a place to throw out some random thoughts, grumblings and poop jokes. Until the game starts, let’s consider this… Let’s assume Grant Balfour starts the bottom of the 6th inning and Charlie Manuel pinch-hits one of his lefty bats. Do you want [...]

The St. Pete Times is reporting that Major League Baseball has already postponed tonight’s continuation of game 5. According to the press release from MLB, the game is tentatively scheduled for 8:37pm tomorrow (Wednesday). Don’t think Fox TV’s desire to keep “House M.D.” from being postponed was not a factor [...]

Cliff Floyd was removed from the World Series roster with a suspected tear of the labrum in his right shoulder. Now Floyd says the injury could end his career. “If I have any more surgeries, my career’s a wrap,” Floyd said. “If it’s something I can rehab from, we’ll see [...]
