I'm torn on this match-up. Kazmir is a fly ball pitcher versus a homerun team, but he gets a ton of swinging strikes and the Sox give them away like lollipops at the doctor's office.

I've maxed out my credit card and skipped class two days in a row.
COMPLETELY WORTH EVERY SECOND.

Sign lady must die.

So people like you should be grateful that the House approved the bailout today.

GO RAYS!!!!!!
MVP = Kaz. Or at least it better be.
Certainties in Life: Death, Taxes, and Gabe Gross coming through in the ninth
Platoon splits show they are slightly better against lefties than righties:
The sample is quite a bit smaller and Scotty isn’t your average lefty, but it could mean that if he does struggle, we might not be as likely to see Price, whom throws with the same hand and has similar pitches. If that is the case I do not know who to recommend for long relief so lets hope the problem does not present itself. One idea might be to have Sonny finish up if the game is tight and Kaz is just PC maxed, then have Price step into Sonny’s spot as the #4 or alternatively have Shields pitch again.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
SCOTT KAZMIR HAS A NO HITER THROUGH 0.0.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
have scott do that through 5
it’ll take him 120 pitches, but then we’ll have it completed by four innings of velociraptor jesus. combined no-hitter and a four-inning save for mr price. too much to hope for?
I’ll just be happy with a win, no matter how we get it, but why not reach for the stars?

2 starts this year
Kazmir had one home start and one road start against Chicago this year:
Home: W, 109 pitches, 7.0 IP, 3 hits, 3 BB, 6 K, 3/5/9 GB/LD/FB
Away: ND, 108 pitches, 6.0 IP, 4 hits, 2 BB, 7 K, 5/4/5 GB/LD/FB
I would take either of those.

Also: why in the bloody hell are there pictures of dogs with "Rayhawks" on the site?

Also, unrelated, but FUCK BOSTON.
I just wanted to get this in once
How did all the USF fans like the spanking you got from Professor Numbnuts
Losing to UTEP is probably a far worse crime, but then again I don’t hear anyone repping UCF as if they were the second coming. Good luck playing in the Meineke Car Care bowl

Barely played, but clearly was hurt*

That Georgie Selvie is one hell of a player though. Homerism aside what round do you think he will be drafted? Would be nice if the Bucs could get him in the 3rd.

I thought as much just trying to be greedy
I watched the game against Kansas and he was throwing guys around like rag dolls on fire. Missed the game last night coming back from the Trop, but sounds like it was a good one.

Sucked..when he's good, he's really good, when he's bad, he's..ugh.
With a good workout selvie won’t make it out of the top 32 picks.

If he was 30 pounds heavier
He’d be a top 5 pick. I doubt he’ll make it out of the second.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

I wish our O-line showed up. I also wish our Offensive Coordinator hadn’t.

Well done on going back to the Maddon Bear, R.J.
It’s a good luck charm.
And seriously, I’ve always thought of it as the DRaysBay mascot.
B.J. Upton's new nickname = "Laggard McShambleslow"
Buntington Bear.
It’s appropriate that our mascot is a guy in a bear costume.

"[David] Ortiz said he still believed their lack of post-season experience would hurt the Rays in the long run."
Evan agrees.
I am so pumped.
Balfour has got me on a crazy adrenaline rush for at least a week. I like his example.

I always liked the Mark Prior USC story.
I guess Stanford’s bench was heckling him, so he struck someone out, told them to sit the fuck down, pointed at the on-deck circle and told them that it was their fucking turn.

No
I just think in a world of AWFUL color men, he’s actually insightful and while he may babble between every pitch, it’s always something worth listening to.
