![[THE HANGOVER] Joe Maddon Ejected During Angels Series; In Other News, Water Is Wet](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3076/2571755045_f020596aba_o.jpg)
DEVIL RAYS WEBTOPIA… Don’t forget to VOTE for Carl Crawford to start the all-star game. If you haven’t voted yet today, go NOW! [MLB All-Star Voting] Why go against the odds? Before this series we predicted that Joe Maddon would not be ejected during this series despite having 3 of [...]
We are not sure why we never ran it (we blame DRG) as it has been sitting on the RAYSHEADS Facebook page for quite some time. But somebody put together a video in which they examine the history of the “Fist Bump”. Several members of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Rays Shutdown By Jered Freakin’ Weaver](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3011/2570041077_e707ee8cd4_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: James Shields faced only one over the minimum in 6 of the 8 innings he pitched. That’s it. That’s the only good thing we could come up with…Oh, and Evan Longoria had 2 doubles, responsible for half of the Rays’ hits. THE BAD: Jered Weaver? Unfortunately for the [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Luck Starting To Fall In Rays’ Favor](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2560877393_a0449fd61b_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: Willy Aybar saves the day. The Rays loaded the bases with 1 out in the 8th and Evan Longoria struck out on a hanging 3-2 pitch. Now with 2 outs, Aybar doubled to right and drove in 2 to break a 2-2 tie…Jason Bartlett was even more day-savingish. [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Kazmir Keeps Pitch Count In Check, Wins 6th](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/2557961806_2a710baf23_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: 8, 13, 12, 13, 20, 14, 10. That is how many pitches Scott Kazmir threw in each of the first 7 innings for a total of 90. That allowed Kid K to come out for the 8th inning. Only one inning with 15 or more is a very [...]
![[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 [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Scott Kazmir Is 5-6 MPH From Being Most Dominant Pitcher In Baseball](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2527339500_0a540d6134_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: The Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball and Scott Kazmir is just getting warmed up. Last night, the game was over in the first inning. He struck out all three batters in the first inning, with 2 coming on sliders in the dirt. He was [...]

ODDSMAKERS What are the chances Andrew Friedman completes a trade in the next week? Willy Aybar is currently on a rehab assignment in Vero Beach and he is getting playing time at 2B, suggesting the Rays are preparing Aybar to be a utility-player on the big club when he comes [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Rays Finish Tough Road Trip 3-3](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/2513259213_38ba5b6155_o.jpg)
THE GOOD: If you would have offered us 3-3 on a tough two-city road trip, we would have signed for that. So, despite yesterday’s awful performance, the Rays are still playing well. Being 2 back in the division is more of an indication of how well the Sox are playing [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] Rays Anger Baseball Gods By Forgetting To Change Out Of BP Jerseys](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2503841643_f2736887a0_o.jpg)
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 [...]
