Coincidences Are Sometimes Hilarious

PrintThe Rays dealt Delmon Young (and others) for Matt Garza (and others) in hopes of having three legit starters that would not only help them reach the playoffs, but advance throughout.
Jon Lester has owned the Rays everytime except in the playoffs.
Garza and Lester are going to face-off to decide which American League East (also known as the group of death) will head home and host the World Series.
Tonight it's Matt Garza's world, which looks something like this:

There's something about this team that just feels like somehow tonight is going to end with a champagne bath for Garza.

If there is one guy who can shut down a lineup and beat Lester
it is Garza
plzzzzzzzzzzzz be good Garza, it has all come down to you.
I swear to god The Groovenians may be the worst show ever.
I feel sorry for anyone who knows what I’m talking about.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
no idea
Got a link?

I'll up it to youtube real quick to share my pain.

Big Game Matt loves moments like these

I beg of you
stop with the ‘Big game’ nicknames
dude, i'm not the enemy
Somehow the ‘big game’ nickname for Shields is ammo for the Red Sox
Its a joke pissant
Labeling Garza with this ridiculous moniker makes as much sense as ShIelds If you would kindly fuck off and die that would be great.

And my reply was
not tongue in cheek?
Lighten up my friend, we all want the Rays to win, just that i call a spade a spade, and y’all wear pleated skirts and pom poms all day long
Except when you call a heart a spade, because usually your facts are wrong or skewed.
The regression issue will be dealt with after the season.

You're as much folk hero as everyone here is a cheerleader
There are no rosy glasses to be found, you go out of your way to be a dick by making shit up. Stating your opinion as if it was fact is a good way to lose friends in a hurry. I don’t think yOu mean toNgue in cheek more like dick in moutH

I just posted on LL
If the Red Sox win tonight, I am never watching ESPN again. The pain will be too great. Death to ESPN and their hard on for the Red Sox.
I'm fine with Garza's arm
It’s his head and the umpire’s strike zone along with the defense behind him that have me a bit nervous
the defense behind him
HEY GUYS LETS ALL DUMP THOSE 162 GAMES WE PLAYED BEFORE AND PRETEND THE DEFENSE SUCKS. YEAH!

I don't even have the energy to play this game today

RJ, nefore
you bash my thought, consider this
1- Garza seems affected more by errors than others
2- The defense in Game 5 and 6 has been less than stellar
The defense was amongst the best in the league for 162 games.
You REALLY believe these last two games is more telling of their true talent level than the 162?

The bigger the game
the plays become magnified
While you’ll continue to hit me with sample size stats, i suggest the noose is tightening, and i DO HOPE i’m wrong
Four hits last night? Please
Yeah, like how we scored, what, 40 runs over for games?
We obviously choked that away.

ok lets be serious and civil for a second
Bringing up how we failed and pissing all over the team, how does that help anyone?
what does that do? how will that make anyone happy?
Sorry, if the Sox make the playoffs your man Byrd probably wont even play.
We know the kind of game
that Garza is capable of pitching.
I'll talk to you boys later
GO RAYS!!
Sorry a debate is unwelcome here
If i give you an outlet to vent your frustration, so be it
ahain
GO RAYS
The funny thing is that you don't realize you're not a good analyst. Most of the crap you spew is either heavily cliched or intentionally negative.
You must live a miserable life and yet you continue to think of yourself as something amazing. It’s almost like you want to be labeled a rebel, in fact I’m really not sure why I unbanned you after the Rays won the AL East, you still bring nothing to this site and with your ban history you shouldn’t be privileged enough to post here.

Acting like the defense is bad irritated me.

What i was intending
there was more how everything has to be perfect when Garza pitches
Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It isn’t over until we say it is.
Who’s with me???
The women of St. Pete need to be offering themselvES as a sacrIFICial slumpbustEr

My shift keys have been doing whatever they want lately. The left one is stuck and
the right one alternates between spasming and not responding. It is incredibly frustrating and what do you know it is working better now.

The Yankees are gearing up to offer CC Sabathia "an offer that may dwarf those of other clubs, by a factor of 30 or 40 percent." Olney feels that may be a necessary surcharge to convince Sabathia to pitch in the Big Apple.
Cool, we get to face the black good david wells 3-4 times a year.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
David Wells wishes he were half as good as Sabathia.
But 30-40%? Good heavens.

I'm hoping Sabathia and Burnett
stay out of the ALE
We don’t need to face those dudes 10x a year
We wouldn't face them 10 times a year.
by R.J. Anderson on Oct 19, 2008 1:45 PM EDT up reply actions
And why not?
How many times did we see Halladay? 5?
We play each team 6 series
Did anyone tell Cashman
that Sabathia doesn’t require a posting fee?
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."

dont worry
they will spend more money than ever and get the same shitty results out of it.
And they never learn the way of the Rays, to draft early and build from within, instead of throwing money at your problems.
Matt Garza is in the middle of having his 3rd testicle descend. He will be ready in time to win tonight though.
Shitty results?
12 Straight ALE titles
4 WS
You would balk at that?
How about lately since you seem to care so much about only recent events
Giambi? Mussina? A-Rod?
That’s a lot of money and where are their rings?

As Rays fans
we’re waxing our carrots over one playoff appearence
I’ll repeat, still think those are ‘shitty’ results?
Once you get in the post season, anything can happen
It's all about money with Sabathia, so I bet he rejects it
And teases them up to 50-60%.
Whore.

Word on the street is that Milwaukee offered something around 145M
Another 50% would bring it to 217M. I do not see him getting that.

Did anybody else read the Freeman article on CBS?
I know I shouldn’t torture myself but…..
I just want to shit on his face…..mouth open
“Freeman Article”http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/11046279
THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that some of you get upset when posters attempt to back up theory with factual analysis, but please bear with me for just a moment….
ONE GAME….
Nothing else matters. Period. 162 game season, ALDS, 7 game losing streak, home records, road records, Thursday night or Saturday night. NOTHING MATTERS BUT SUNDAY. Win or lose, this team has picked themselves up off the mat time and time again.
ONE GAME….
All of our pitchers are great, but honestly, there is NO ONE ID RATHER HAVE ON THE BUMP TODAY THAN MATTHEW FUCKING GARZA….Dude is borderline…no, dude IS crazy. GARZA against the world, winner take all, mano y mano….I like our chances.
ONE GAME….
TO PROVE ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT WE ARE THE SUPERIOR TEAM…Sox won the wild card for a reason.
ONE GAME….
For a pennant, game 7, all the dice…..if some of you cant let go of the past and get excited and pumped up about the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME FOR THIS TEAM, I ask……..WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN THE PAST 10 YEARS?
But we true fans already know the answer to that one, now dont we?
ONE GAME………..GIVE EM HELL BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TONIGHT
WE DINE IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
