  [THE HANGOVER] Rumors Of The Rays Demise Have Been Greatly Exagerated

  September 11, 2008 at 10:12 am 4 comments

  THE GOOD: Andy Sonnanstine. Facing the Red Sox for the first time this season, Duke didn’t disappoint. Despite hitting 2 batters (he only had 3 entering the game), he did not walk a batter and struck out 7, giving up only 1 unearned run…Carlos Pena. We thought it was just [...]
