Burrell’s gonna keep heatin’ up
Longoria
Ladies and gentlemen, your third baseman, number three, EVAN LONGORIA!
Jason Bartlett. Sonnanstine was a close second.
Longoria vs. Lurch? No-brainer! It’s gotta be ESPN the Magazine’s own Dirtbag for SPOTG.
Aybar!
de-de-deet, de-de-deet, de-de-deet…Breaking news:
I’m going with E-Lo.
Bossman Junior. He has to start hitting at some point.
Sonny, please let it be sonny.
Pena to redeem himself
Mr. Dirtbag please
Longo
Sonny for the shocker
i wouldn’t be shocked by this one… the one after this would be a shocker though.
Upton
longo
Pat the bat/patient/rbi single hitter/whatever on the bench? Against Hendrickson? Are you freaking kidding me…..you’re killing me Joe. He had the day off yesterday.
Crawford will stay hot.
Sonny-Stine is getting back to form.
Boy oh boy, was I ever wrong. Just when it seemed Sonny was back in business he gives us that sh!%
crawford
Zorilla. He’s got a Rays Index t-shirt now. That’s gotta be better than ESPN tha Magazine.
Easy choice. Evan Longoria.
Melvin Emanuel.
Carl Crawford
In honor of Prof. new shirt I’m going with Zorilla, Look Prof. came out with the L-O-N-G-O shirt and now he’s an MVP candidate. It’s all about the RI shirts…
game didn’t start yet, so Longoria
Seriously, what’s the problem with the Rays TV Crew? There’s always blown camera work, and at the beginning of the game today we only had a crappy audio feed.
I am displeased.
Also, there needs to be more Hi-def games.
I MISS EDWIN![but do love Joyce]
