he hit it very hard

but i was hoping for a double, it wasn’t getting out.

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:32 PM EDT reply actions  

he hit it hard enough to go out

but it was on a straight line drive, combine that out with his moon shot flyouts and we have a very long homerun

by Dbullsfan on Jul 9, 2008 3:33 PM EDT reply actions  

just lock them down

maybe by mistake, we can score again.

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:35 PM EDT reply actions  

my power went out!

i gather carlos hit a bomb, thats how we tied. how have we been playing, though?

im listening to the radio now

they just made my heart race, made it sound like A-Rod hit it out and then it was a routine play.

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Howell

hitters are hitting .188 against him

Yeah, I really am missing Gathright

Well done. C'mon offense.

JP Howell is incredible

I got maybe one more half-inning before work. Let’s make it count.

by Kevin Gengler on Jul 9, 2008 3:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Jackson and Howell once again give us a chance

for the love of god, please take advantage of it. No A-Rod, Jeter or Giambi in the 9th so scoring is extra sexy

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:41 PM EDT reply actions  

this is what the Rays need

Bullpen depth is great, but a lights out stud is HUGE. (And yes, I’d settle for a step below Mo.)

Xavier Hernandez is a magician.

I don’t know what he does, but Balfour, Dohmann, and others go to him for a month and come back with improved control.

among those possibly available...

Jose Valverde
John Rauch
Damaso Marte
Scott Downs

All have solid track records and have shown better skills than even JP Howell this year.

i remmeber we once beat the Yanks in the 10th

and part of is what was Gomes pinch running and stealing, then Gabe Gross got a walk off single. I guess we aren’t going for that here.

well

i should say

i hope extra innings are coming

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:52 PM EDT reply actions  

if we can get past this

They might make the mistake again of putting in Rivera for a second inning

i dunno

we look like have some 07 confidence at the plate the last 3 games

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Yup

I remember when he was working his 3rd inning and everyone’s fav Josh Hamilton hit a grand slam.

NEW YORK—The Rays just got word from MLB that Evan Longoria is still leading the voting for the final spot on the AL All-Star roster. Trailing him, in order, are Jermaine Dye, Jason Giambi, Brian Roberts and Jose Guillen. -lancaster

defense is too valuable

I can see us losing cuz of an error at SS. Longoria is probably the best fielding SS we have. Zobrist is terrible, Brignac wants to do too much….

how long can he be this good? well hopefully a whole lot longer.

is it a 4 game series?

facing Lee isn’t exactly like facing Lee, Carmona, Sabathia and Westbrook. And we better rip Sowers apart.

and now we NEED a k

I'm sorry Percy but you shouldn't be the closer when you come back

perfect time for a first ML hit?

bad memories

last time we went extras, it was against the Pirates and I think we got one hit which came from James Shields

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:11 PM EDT reply actions  

oh god

it hurts me to see him like that, demote him

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:11 PM EDT reply actions

Reid just isn't ready

But neither is BenZo (he’ll never be ready)

by matthan on Jul 9, 2008 4:12 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes

He looks overmatched. He certainly is not better than Bartlett at this point. He needs the PT so no need to have him up at that point.

by matthan on Jul 9, 2008 4:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Everyone looks overmatched against Rivera

Let him play more then 2 games before you judge him

by td32 on Jul 9, 2008 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep

Brignac wont be ready until at least 2009. Zobrist will never be ready, it would be pushing it to call him a AAAA player.

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

29 pitches for Mo right now

Which would mean a lot more to us if we were playing them tomorrow. I hope we shut them down in the 10th because there is now no doubt hes done.

I have seen CC run harder but whatever, come on Balfour!

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

Mo threw over 30 pitches

and never stopped dominating what we call an offense

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

Those pitches are impossible to hit...

COming from Rivera….just cause the catcher sets up there doesnt make it a strike

by td32 on Jul 9, 2008 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

i guess we cant be too mad about not hitting off Mo

but if we can get to the 11th and continue to be shut down, we suck.

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:17 PM EDT reply actions  

convo between Reid and Carl

Reid – Man I’m 0-6 in the bigs this ML stuff is hard
Carl- It’s okay I’m in another 0-9 slump and everyone loves me

by Dbullsfan on Jul 9, 2008 4:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Hmmm

They have used Veras, Rivera and Farnsworth.

I don’t know them too well but I think the only good one is Edwar Ramirez

by joeybw on Jul 9, 2008 4:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Back from work

Isn’t Gardner supposed to swing when he’s at the plate?

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

I am not even sure who is on their active roster but they def have Ramirez, Giese and Hawkings

Not to Jeter

I swear the guy gets more calls than FEMA after a hurricane. Just because he is moving around in the box one way or another should no affect the umps decision

I was right they have Ramirez, Giese, Hawkins and Traber. Only Ramirez would scare me. And please tell me Glover and Hammel are unavailable.
