  June 6, 2008 at 2:50 pm 11 comments

  THE GOOD: The consensus seem to be that the Rays took the player with the best chance to be a superstar in the big leagues, in Tim Beckham. THE BAD: Can somebody please explain to us why Tim Beckham was wearing an old Devil Rays’ cap after he was drafted? [...]

  [DIONER NAVARRO] Defending ‘The Fat Catcher’

  June 4, 2008 at 3:01 pm 3 comments

  Yesterday, we ran two posts defending Dioner Navarro against the suggestion from one writer that Navi is a “middling” catcher and that if the Rays want to win now, they should draft Buster Posey. Tampa Bay Sports Blog thinks we went too far… This is getting out of control now. [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] Rays Anger Baseball Gods By Forgetting To Change Out Of BP Jerseys

  May 19, 2008 at 10:03 am 0 comments

  THE GOOD: Ben Zobrist getting the start. Everytime he did something good, we were rewarded with shots of his wife Julianna. That’s it. That was the only redeeming quality of yesterday’s game. THE BAD: Joe Maddon had some questionable (read: idiotic) pitching changes on Sunday. First he brings Dan Wheeler [...]

  May 13, 2008 at 11:10 am 3 comments

  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 GOOD: Edwin Jackson. 112 pitches, 73 strikes. His 112th pitch was 97 mph. One pitch in the 8th registered 99 (although we are skeptical) and he was consistently 95+ in the 8th inning. No runs. 6 hits, no walks 1 walk. Great game, even if the Jays bailed him [...]

  [THE HANGOVER] The Bizarro Rays Keep Winning

  May 2, 2008 at 10:15 am 18 comments

  THE GOOD: Another running grab by Carl Crawford in left. This is why he will win a gold glove despite having one of the worst outfield arms…Jonny Gomes home run was very Jose Canseco-esque. A LOT of Canseco’s home runs were all muscle. A lot of times he would get [...]
