Can't frickin believe...

...that punk azz Coco Crisp had his suspension reduced by 2 games and Aki’s was upheld. Such crap.

Jamie DeLuca

by JDeLuca on Jun 27, 2008 4:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Even worse

Coincidentally, the last three games of the suspension are the series here against Boston, so he won’t get a chance to have the Rays ‘logic’ explained to him any further by Rays fans or any of our pitchers.

Here’s to hoping that somehow, we can get our hands on Papelbon.

i still don't like Navarro batting so low, but i guess he's not really an RBI guy, or a power threat, so it make sense...

Good afternoon gang!

It’s the METS fan that likes to come to a team blog that likes to have some fun. Congrats on the awesome ball you guys are playing. Today, the Mets clobbered the yankees in game one of a Double Header 15 – 6. Carlos Delgado (the afterthought) hit two HR’s, one for a grand slam and drove in 9 RBI. The METS posers didn’t post one picture during the entire game. I made a comment about it and one guy just said; “We chose not to.”

Well hell man, remove the butt plug from your rectum and have some fun. They could learn a lesson from you guys. Enjoy the game and the rest of your season.

Pirates are trying to stall the game

They want the rains to come in so the game is scrubbed for a DH tomorrow

So, what are the odds of a a brawl on Monday?

If MLB is going to keep screwing the Rays with the suspensions, it’s probably not worth it. Plus our offense is still doing well after that last one, we might need another boost in a month or so though

I would love the Red Sox players to get their asses kicked but I don’t need any more suspensions.

Hmm, it did help Crawford though….

It figures

Kaz would have his worst starts of the year these last 2 times out against the 2 of the worst offenses in the NL

by Jason Collette on Jun 27, 2008 8:42 PM EDT reply actions  

He was pitching like he had a 7 run lead

and when you do that, that lead doesn’t stay at 7

He saw 18 pitches in four at bats

Including a walk. I don’t think his eye is going to be a problem. More positive for me is that he is making contact and fouling balls off instead of swinging through everything.
