THE GOOD: James Shields outside of the back-to-back home runs in the 2nd inning. After the 2 home runs, he retired 13 of the next 14 batters and faced the minimum over that span. Other than the 2 solo homers, he allowed only 4 hits and 1 run, striking out [...]

Today Rays Index turns two years old, having somehow survived two complete revolutions around the Sun. And my, how things have changed in those two years. HERE is our first-ever post. It was a title we loved so much we brought it back on our One-Year Anniversary, which was actually [...]
Marc Lancaster gets paid to write this shit? Makes us wonder why we went to college and grad school. Instead of applying to McDonalds when we were 15, we should have sent a resume to the Tampa Tribune. In his latest blog entry, Marc Lancaster shows us exactly how desperate [...]
