Two weeks ago we addressed 10 questions hovering over the Rays in spring training. Every week from now until the beginning of the regular season, we will take a look at those questions and see if we are any closer to getting some answers… What can we expect from BJ [...]
From our good friends at The Fightins (THE home for fans of the WFC*) comes this video of Pat Burrell’s first home run in a Rays uniform, a grand slam from two days ago. Enjoy Raysheads, this is the first of many.
The one downside to the Rays new-found winning ways in 2008 was the sudden loss of the all-important unintentional comedy factor. We would argue that it was actually easier to write about the Rays in 2006 and 2007 because there was always something to make fun of. Make no mistake, [...]

Time to bring back 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: Mitch Talbot. After giving up 7 runs in his first 4 spring innings, including 4 home runs, Talbot looked solid [...]
With most of the opening day roster set, there are still a number of questions concerning the Rays entering Spring Training, and not one will be “who will be the closer?” Let’s start to speculate… What can we expect from BJ Upton this season? Most Rays fans that have watched [...]
Pat Burrell sure looks good in Rays colors (photo via The Tampa Tribune). And we have a feeling he will always look better in blue than Raul Ibanez ever will in Red. (Hey Philly Fans..Pat wants you to say “hi” to your mother for him. WFC*) Also from Marc Lancaster…Burrell [...]
We don’t even know where to go with this one and we are not sure we should even touch it without wearing gloves… the sexy crimes is an “unofficial pat burrell fan page” run by two guys (yes, guys. but that’s OK, we don’t judge) from Vancouver, that have an [...]

It was 41 years ago today that Johnny Cash performed live at Folsom Prison. So the iPod will be all Johnny Cash, all day. But if listening to too much Johnny Cash seems depressing, worry not. Today is also Rubber Duckie’s Birthday! Too much information? DEVIL DOGS WEBTOPIA… Rob Neyer [...]
