The GBT - The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. Pirates 7, RAYS 6 (boxscore) THE GOOD: I pretty much hate 99.9% of themed minor league jerseys. They are utterly predictable and excessively ugly for the […]

The GBT - The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. RAYS 4, Twins 2 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Your browser does not support iframes. THE TELLING: Mikie Mahtook, Enny Romero, and Vince Belnome were the latest cuts […]
Sun Sports broadcast today’s game from Charlotte Sports Park so it was inevitable that Todd Kalas would file a report from the tiki bar beyond the left field fence. What TK didn’t count on was a Rays fan being in midseason form, interrupting the report for a chat. But TK […]
