This young lady was spotted in the stands during yesterday’s game. It just didn’t seem right to post this pic yesterday. But today? Everything is kosher! We are not sure if she is as energized as the two young ladies we saw at a game back in 2008, but hey, when [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] The One Where We Discuss Upton’s New Approach, Dirtbag Crushing And Dealing With Hamilton](http://www.raysindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hangover16-150x150.jpg)
The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: BJ Upton. Remember earlier in the year when we were all excited to see Bossman going the opposite way? And then we grew weary [...]
Games 2 and 3 of this Rangers sweep really didn’t surprise Joe. As Joe wrote Monday, the brilliance and grit of rallying to beat Cliff Lee was sure to put the Rays on an incredible high rivaled only by Matt Garza’s no-hitter. What was so impressive is how the Rays are [...]
Two years ago on Rays Index we wrote about Joe Maddon’s craziest move. The one in which he intentionally walked Josh Hamilton with the bases loaded. Joe Maddon Genuflects To Babe Ruth Josh Hamilton [Rays Index]
Former Rays prospect Chris Mason, who once held the organizational record for wins in a season (15), and who once wanted to dye his hair pink for breast cancer awareness, took his talents to Taiwan this season. Mason pitches for La New Bears and is second in the Chinese Professional [...]
During Joe Maddon’s post-game Q&A last night, he may have taken a moment to send a message to his own players by praising the hustle of Vlad Guerrero during a blowout… Also, I just want to say something about the Rangers. In the eighth, was it the 7th inning? [Ed. [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] The One Where We Discuss Bossman’s Big Month, Garza’s Big Fastball And Big Game’s Big Losses](http://www.raysindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/357100816150_Rangers_at_Rays-150x150.jpg)
The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Garza’s Strikeouts. Matt Garza had the good fastball last night. That is, his 79 fastballs averaged 92.5 mph and not 94-95 mph. When Garza [...]
Man, this is starting to be scary stuff. Scary good. Joe is trying to temper his excitement but it’s hard to when you consider the Rays throttled the American League West-leading Rangers. Consider the Rays banged out 15 hits. No, that’s not a typo. The Rays had 15 hits and crossed [...]
Back in February, we learned that Carl Crawford had picked up a new full-sleeve tattoo from a well-known tattoo artist named Junk Roxx. Six months and 118 games later, and we still have no idea what the tattoo looks like. Why? Because Crawford has played the entire season with an [...]
An interesting question arose in the comments last week while discussing the Rays use of “Tampa Bay” and whether they would ever switch to the “Tampa Rays” or “Florida Rays.” Specifically, we wondered which pro sports team was the first to use the moniker “Tampa Bay” in order to represent [...]
