If you were doing a greatest moments list

there would be a terrific argument for Dan Johnson.

I'd have to go with Hammel

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

Aki jumping on second base and Price throwing his hands in the air

still sends chills up and down my body.

Hooray for CubsStats.blogspot.com !

The whole clinching play off birth was awesome

Also

Longo’s two homers in game one of the ALDS
And Price striking out Drew in the eighth inning of the Game 7 game

OMGZ ALL IN 2008

Like said below no need to do “Greatest Rays Moments” because the answer is 2008

Longo's HR in the 13th against Boston after that whole fucking "ball in the gym bag" ridiculousness?

Alright, how about

The 19 run game against Toronto in ’04
Or the Ray record 10 run first in ’05

Not as cool as Top 10 from 08

Sorry

we can make up a team of such moments. Certainly the Hammel relief job, the Aki moment (which is forever etched in my mind and among the several reasons I always liked him), the Dan Johnson moment and for me too the foul ball out that Longoria caught to clinch a playoff berth. Not really dramatic as a play or even as a crucial moment as the Rays had put the game away long before, but I was in the ball park and the euphoria was, well, euphoric.

if someone wants to do poll on on "greatest moments..."

Be my guest. There is no real sure fire way to vote on that nor look up. I mean, what do you exclude? Walk-off homeruns? game winning hits? Let’s be honest, except for 1 season The Rays really haven’t had actually “great” moments. There have been nice moments like Wade Boggs hitting 3,000. Nomo getting career win 200 in the Nippon Leagues and MLB. But, all and all the list would be filled with memories of ‘08. it’s a great thought though.

Blah!

Start a thread asking everyone to list a moment

Then you can put those in various buckets to be voted on afterwards. The only caveat is that you need a lot of participation to get a lot of great moments.

I'm a writer.
