Well I was up late last night with Felix.

He’s unstoppable on his throw days. Said something about getting his fill in now before he has to see you the next day.

I aim to confuse people

and to introduce these kind people to a tiny slice of our game threads.

How are you guys awake?

I just woke up and I live in Sarasota, Florida.

I see some of these west coasters have their own language.

Just because I spell things slightly differently

Some might say ‘more correctly’...

No, I am not ang lee.

Honest mistake. We get confused for each other all the time.

They come in peace, except for Graham, he comes for blood and carnage.

but we have beer! oh yes, the beer!

I can't even argue this, and that makes me a bit sad.

Then I remember that Justin Upton is devourer of worlds.

Coincidence or no: a player nicknamed B.J. using a song about the other type of BJ?

Which raises the question

Who has the best ditty/entrance music on the Rays. Cliff Floyd using Shaft is almost a lock.

So, what's up with Price?

Why is he still in ext. spring training?

by Matthew on May 17, 2008 12:34 PM EDT   0 recs

Making his first start for Vero this week.

When will he get the start?

Will he push Hell up to AA?

I think it'll be against the Threshers in Vero, not sure who'll he'll push.

Although I’d have to imagine Rollins/Hellickson/Reid are on notice, with Rollins being the most likely to move up (remember, they’ve moved Hellickson pretty slow over the years)

True

I am prob going to the Tampa series to see Hellickson and Rollins.

You should.

So is JI gonna make an appearance?

And if so, do we flog him if he roots for the Cardinals?

He's made appearances the past week+, and he changed his avatar to the Rays, so I'm sure he'll pop up.
