  Click on above images to be taken to full standings, boxscores or schedule… THE GOOD: Evan Longoria. There has been some recent talk that his extended stint on the DL would cost Dirtbag the Rookie of the Year award. 3 home runs last night. What about now? That’s what we [...]

  DEVIL RAYS WEBTOPIA… Troy Percival will throw from a mound on Monday and said he could pitch now but will throw a couple of bullpen sessions until the team deems him ready. [St. Pete Times] Joe Maddon’s managerial style is certainly unique. John Romano says Maddon has “ignored the safer, [...]

  THE GOOD: Andy Sonnanstine. All The Duke does is win, improving to 13-6 on the season. Show of hands: Who thought Sonny would be leading the Rays in wins in the middle of August? Put your damn hands down. Of course, Duke did his best Scott Kazmir impersonation last night, [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] Rays Can Only Manage Split In KC

  July 28, 2008 at 11:42 am 3 comments

  THE GOOD: Got nothin’ THE BAD: Using the batting practice jerseys during a game. We have made our feelings known about this in the past. And we are not the only ones that hate the idea…Yet another GIDP for Carl Crawford…Anytime Jason Hammel is in a game. Not just because [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] Kazmir May Now Make One Less Second-Half Start Due To All-Star Appearance

  July 18, 2008 at 11:13 am 4 comments

  THE TELLING: Noticed this during the home run derby, but forgot about it…All of the All-Stars had their team’s logo on the right sleeve of the All-Star jerseys (ie. Cubs). However, Evan Longoria’s jersey had the Rays’ fish logo rather than the new sunburst logo. And yes, we are aware [...]

  THE GOOD: We are back after a much-needed 7-day vacation and an even more needed 4-day mini-vacation for 22 of the players and all of the coaches and staff…The AL won the All-Star game with a little help from a couple of Rays. This is significant as it means if [...]

  July 9, 2008 at 9:55 am 0 comments

  THE GOOD: Everything we threw last night somehow managed to miss the TV. THE BAD: That was the worst thing the Rays could have done in the opener of this 2-game set. They walked out on the field at Yankee Stadium and took a gigantic dump right on the hallowed [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] Rays Magic Number Is 69

  July 8, 2008 at 11:36 am 1 comment

  THE GOOD: Carlos Pena’s solo home run with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th inning to tie the game. Could this be the moment that gets El Gato back on track? Prior to that at bat, Pena had left 2 runners on in the 1st inning, 3 in [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] Sonnanstine Survives Shaky First To Pick Up 7th Win

  June 14, 2008 at 1:46 pm 1 comment

  THE GOOD: Andy Sonnanstine was lucky he only gave up 2 runs in the first inning. A strike-’em-out-throw-’em-out, got the Rays out of the top of the first only down 2-0. And the Rays offense did exactly what they needed, scoring twice in the bottom half of the inning on [...]
