Is it really jumping on the bandwagon if you're the first to do it?
Longo for MVP per my earlier post.

I'm so excited about seeing the greatest hitter ever tonight
I mean, Nathan Haynes is the ****in MAN.
Actually whenever we discuss him his name must be all capitals. NATE HAYNES.

Some Notes:
-Kaz is throwing extended spring training games Tues., then may make it to Vero Beach by the end of the week. Depending on how well he does, he'll be back late April-early may.
-Garza is throwing from 80-100, may throw over 120 soon. Good to see he's throwing long-toss
-Orvella was put on 60-Day DL to make room for Longo
-And of course, Longo is excited and lost sleep last night over his Debut. Even he is human.

Is it me
or did Yahoo get some of the most interesting photos for players this year?
Beej kinda looks like a deer in the headlights.
being a long time rays fan, i try to look at the bright side of all situations...but something ill never understand and frankly irritates me is the fact they dont have a consistent lineup. ive never seen a team in the MLB constantly change around every aspect of their game. Stick with one maybe two right fielders...and then an outfielder on the bench. STOP putting nathan haynes in, lets keep our starting lineup in every game we can! WE WANT TO WIN!
Well
Hinske or Gomes can't exactly field out there....
by Jacob Larsen on Apr 12, 2008 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions
nathan haynes sucks too though... dont you agree about consistency though? its prob. hard to never know where you are playing or even if you are playing
but he can field...
and fielding is more important sometimes, especially with the Rays....

If I recall, triples aren't as much a pitchers fault than it is the fielders...
Most of the time, it's a poor route by an outfielder or a ball that decides it'll roll forever.

A triple is a hit off a pitcher...
The pitcher makes the hitter miss, there will be no triple.

Looks like a good game for the debut of the kid. Good crowd? Nice effort by Hammel - guess he wants tohang around. He held serve, let's see if BIg Red's debut comes close.

Why pull Howell there? Just a waste of a pitcher - he's used to going long, had the lefty going. Don't get it, not like he threw a bunch of pitches in the 8th. But Miller did fine, so there you go.
