I want to say over really really bad

But the one thing that seems to have stayed the same between the Rays and the Devil Rays is a complete and total inability to do absolutely nothing against pitchers that have zero business in the Majors.

What have you seen from Brignac that makes you think he can't field.

He has been called the best defensive SS in all of the minors by some?

I think jm is trying to end this slump with players who can actually hit. Maybe bigmac’s like jonny.. He just needs more AB’s…. Oh yeah.. That didn’t work.

HAY GUYZ WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THIS THREAD?

The Nationals scored 10 runs yesterday in clobbering the Astros 10-0. I would happily loan you some of those runs in order to defeat the goddamn Indians.

Unfortunately, my other team scored exactly zero runs against the KANSAS CITY ROYALS. With Felix on the mound pitching against Luke friggin’ Hochevar. So maybe my luck cancels out.

Please win.

This is pathetic. Hopefully Kaz can pitch more than 5 innings tomorrow. And we can score a run!

The greatest sodas ever, by rank:

1.) Diet Sunkist
2.) Diet Dr. Pepper
3.) Diet A&W Cream Soda
4.) Diet Mountain Dew
5.) Diet Sprite

You can't blame the offense alone anymore

Really Garza? 7 runs in 3 innings? The Indians? Same goes for the rest of our rotation.

I’m not claiming to be psychic, but I had a really bad feeling after we dropped that last game to the Royals

What I'd like to see: three straight home runs

What I’m predicting I’ll see: three straight bunts.

by Sky Kalkman on Jul 12, 2008 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

Why can't we hit?

We’ve faced probably the weakest starting pitching possible during a 6 game stretch…and we are averaging like a run a game…

by matthan on Jul 12, 2008 8:20 PM EDT reply actions  

3 runs in four games. If we don’t score today, I think we match our all-time worst offensive output for a five game stretch.

Including tonight, the Rays have been outscored 32-3.

This really is amazing.

My Hero is Zero

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,
But till you came along,
We counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you’re here to stay
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.

What’s so wonderful about a zero?
It’s nothing, isn’t it?

I could take being pounded like this in Boston...but not by the Indians who have been a joke this year

Yet, I can’t turn this off because I want to actually see us get our next hit with RISP and a run actually cross the plate. I’ve put this much into this trainwreck I can’t turn away now.
