Live it up Rays fans!!!

You have put up with the LAMEST, most ridiculously un-funny jokes over the years. NOW you have the National stage, ALL the attention and the rest of the AL East knows that what they feel in their pants is nothing masculine but merely feces that has been scared out of them...

But remember this:

First place.

Best Record in baseball.

Sweep of the Red Sox.

It's JUST the begining...

Look at baseball history you will see the annals of time littered with "Teams of Destiny" winning games EXACTLY like the Rays just won - you know, the kind of games the Devil Rays would always find a way to lose.

It's JUST the begining...

Look at what's going on, you'll see this team is AHEAD of schedule! And it's a team built for a decade, not merely a "window of opportunity".

It's JUST the begining!!!!

Evan Longlorious said it best in the post game interview with Erin "I get too much credit" Andrews - "All we gotta do is stay healthy"

It's JUST the begining!!!

NOW go Celebrate - shove it in your doubting friends' faces and LIVE IT UP!!!

Hell YES!!! LIVE IT UP!!! You have earned it!@!!

Go Rays!!!!

Due to the hardships of life...

Probably not at all this season =(

I’m trying to sell my house so I can move to Michigan to get my kids near their Grandparents and family. If we get there by September, I’ll try to make the season finale series in Detroit.

But this real estate market ISN’T helping us AT ALL…

But if we don’t sell by October – you can bet I’ll be covering the Arizona Fall League again!

I’m there in spirit, showing more emotion than the unwritten Press Box rules allow and eating hot dogs like I’m Joey Chesnut Jr., believe me!

Go Rays!

If you're not having fun, what are you having? There's already WAAAY too many serious moments in life.
