![[THE HANGOVER] Garza 1-Hits The Marlins](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/2616072602_0419993207_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Matt Garza. Nothing we can write will give justice to just how dominating Garza was yesterday. 108 pitches, 76 for strikes. 1 hit, 1 walk. Faced only 1 over the minimum. 7 1-2-3 innings. Garza was strike-one to 19 of 28 batters (68%). On his bad days, that [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Carl Crawford Is Starting To Look Familiar](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/2612665811_1c4c46273b_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: The extra-base hits are coming more frequently for Carl Crawford. Last night CC drove in 5 with a pair of home runs. He has 5 extra-base hits in his last 7 games after only having 1 in the 10 previous games. He also has 6 multi-hit games in [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Benny Boo Boo Is Back From Durham](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3157/2607016224_11cd94c597_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: The Red Sox lost to the D-Backs so the Rays pulled within 1 game of the AL East and are actually a game up on the Sawx in the ever-so-important loss column. THE BAD: Sutter Home wines (well, there goes a potential sponsor). THE TELLING: We should be [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Kazmir Gives Up Game At Crucial Moment](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2604426126_c21e555058_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Evan Longoria’s home run in the 2nd, his 12th. We don’t want to stretch this comparison too much, but Dirtbag’s stance and swing have always reminded us of Alex Rodriguez and both hitters are very similar in that they both generate an immense amount of power despite having [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Right Fielders Are To The Rays What QBs Are To Jon Gruden](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2213/2535828759_b03136d368_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Jason Bartlett stole 3 bases, including 3rd base twice…BJ Upton threw a runner out at third base on the fly… THE BAD: The Golden Sombrero for Jonny Gomes…Edwin Jackson being Edwin. After 27 pitches in the 2nd inning we knew it was going to be a long night…Rays [...]
![[WHY RAYS COLUMNISTS SUCK] Oh Marc Lancaster, It Has Been Too Long](http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/25315247-9092262501119011747.gif?l=raysindex.blogspot.com)
Marc Lancaster. You picked the wrong day to try and unload this garbage on us. Willy Aybar is set to come off the DL in the next day or two. Aybar is being prepped on his rehab assignment to be a utility player upon his return, receiving playing time at [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Rays Put Some Distance Between Themselves And The Team Pretending To Be The Yankees](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2016/2488058069_3cd46741ba_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: We know the numbers and we know there are other players that need playing time, but we hope that it kills Papa Joe Maddon to keep Jonny Gomes on the bench when he does. The first run of the game was all-Gomes. Started with a single, after which [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Tampa Bay Rays Now Sit Atop Wild Card Race](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2301/2485693473_86441dbeaf_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Evan Longoria made yet another great defensive play in the first inning. These plays seem to happen on a daily basis now and Dirtbag probably should be the favorite to win Rookie of the Year based on his defense alone…After the 5th inning, the Rays trailed 5-4. It [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] The Baseball Gods Had Already Spoken…And They Said ‘Lose’](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/2475389610_0750a89c7f_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: The Red Sox lost…The Yankees lost…The Orioles lost…So the only team that the Rays lost ground to last yesterday was the Jays. Oh and the O’s are now in their rightful place, last place… THE BAD: Shaun Marcum faced the minimum through the first 6.2 innings. The only [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] We Are Confused By All This Winning](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2278/2472933905_65b0b070c6_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Good game for Akinori Iwamura offensively. In the 3rd, Aki had an RBI single, but more impotantly, with 2 outs, he advanced to second base on Carl Crawford’s sac fly. That allowed Aki to score on BJ Upton’s single…Jason Bartlett made two amazing plays in the field. The [...]
