    The Good: At times we saw exactly how dominating Matt Garza can be. After allowing a leadoff home run to Brian Roberts, Garza retired six straight and after back-to-back run scoring singles in the 3rd, he retired 8 of the next 9 batters with only a two-out walk mixed in…Yesterday [...]

    The Rays made a couple of moves today, one surprise, one not so much, in an effort to finalize their 25-man roster for opening day on Monday in Baltimore. The not surprising move was Grant Balfour will be Designated For Assignment, giving the last bullpen spot to Scott Dohmann. The [...]

    Tampa Bay Rays (19 days until Opening Day) Not the best day in the world to be a Rays fan.
