Aki gets my vote
If only Aki can jump a car, then I believe he would win this vote unanimously.
Blah!

I watched Joey play for the AAA Norfolk Tides in Virginia over the summer...he is the blackest black man I've ever seen.
(not racist, just an observation)
(he’s also still speedy as fuck)
how speedy is fuck?
And how do you clock the speed of fuck?
Blah!

Ray Sanchez
Just because I went to the game in ’04 where had the game winner
Next up...Rays' All-Time Team?
Best 1B, 2B, etc.? Worst SP, RP, etc? You could make whole rosters of our all-time best and worst teams, which I think would be a lot of fun to vote on, like these polls. If you don’t want to do the posts, let me know and I can get on that.

I was planning on doing an "all-Rays team"
I will start one probably on Sunday or Monday. I was also going to do a poll about the minor leaguers. Who was the best VSL Ray for pitcher and players. Go through the org. I was going to start that after the all-rays team. i have no problem doing it. Unless you really, really wanted to.
Blah!

No biggie....if you want to do it, go for it.
I just wanted to throw the idea out there, in case you hadn’t thought of it. I just think the polling was a hit and it’d be cool to keep it going.
