The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Twin Killings. With the bases loaded and only 1 out, Evan Longoria took a sharp grounder and instead of going home for the easy [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Wade Davis. Big Dub picked up his 3rd straight win and worked into the 7th inning for the 3rd straight start. He struggled early, [...]
OK, Joe took three things out of this win by the Rays Wednesday. The first, of course, was a chance to break out the brooms. Anytime that happens it’s great, certainly. But even better when the win comes in front of so many Bostonites (rhymes with sodomites) at the Fruitdome. [...]
If Joe didn’t have to get up at 5 a.m. for that nasty four-letter word called “work,” he’d be raising an adult beverage to toast the Rays 3-2 win over the Red Sux Tuesday at the Fruitdome. Trust Joe, he’s happy, but concerned. Once again the Rays showed they have [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: BJ Upton. He returned from his 2-day hiatus and promptly hit a triple and it was even better seeing him pull the ball to [...]
Earlier this week, former big league pitcher Jose Lima died unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 37. Lima was from Santiago, Dominican Republic, as is Rays relief pitcher Joaquin Benoit. And on Tuesday night, Benoit paid his respects to Lima with a message on his cap (thanks Brian)… It [...]
