Cy Young Award-winner Zack Greinke pitched like it was 2009. Thing is, it’s not. Last year Greinke was masterful in becoming the best starter in the American League. This year, eh, he’s ordinary, with a losing record and an ERA over 4.00. Of course, the elixir for a starter pitcher’s [...]
Two years ago on Rays Index we threw up a little in our mouth when we heard Kevin Costner’s song for the Rays first trip to the playoffs. Kevin Costner Adds Shower Shoe Fungus To Rays Postseason [Rays Index]
One of the first things we thought about when we heard the Rays would be giving away 20,000 tickets to Wednesday’s home finale, was how the season-ticket holders would react. After all, there was no reward for the fans that dig deeper than most to support the team. Well, apparently [...]
With the Rays set to clinch a playoff spot on Tuesday night, Todd Kalas may have thought the Rays needed a little extra good fortune. So for the first time all season, he wore his dad’s (Harry Kalas) 1980 Philadelphia Phillies Championship ring. Harry was a broadcaster for the Phillies [...]

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: Jeff Niemann. Joe Maddon indicated earlier this week that he had already settled on his 4-man postseason rotation. The logical conclusion was that it [...]
Well, it was another Derek Shelton special Wednesday night at a packed Fruitdome (thank you Rays) that saw the Rays dish out 20,000 free tickets in 90 minutes. That was the only thing that was impressive about the hungover Rays being limited to three hits against Kevin Millwood of all [...]
