PrintRisin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
-"Eye of the Tiger" lyrics by Survivor
So, the Rays take there Rocky Horror picture show to Oakland to take on the A's for a three game foray. Behind the Rays are three games against the Seattle Mariners, where the Rays lost two out of the three games that they played. The Rays must forget that both of the two games were winnable. They must move on try to beat "money ballers" of Oakland.
The A's are 5-9 this year and sitting in last place of the AL West. The Rays will try to grab some momentum and have some sort of a swagger heading into Minnesota.
The Rays are 37-66 life time against the Green and Gold goons, but the Rays did take the season series last year winning 6 of the 9 meetings against Oakland.

Time Capsule:
We go back '01 when Rays beat the Athletics in Al Davis' Winter home. Take a look at the Tanyon Sturtz win. Those were the good ol' days.

Someone please tell me Oakland is full of fat chicks.
This team needs a dozen or so.

All I know is 'ball' and 'good'...

It's official.
I am never going to a strip club with Steve-O. I don’t want to go to jail and be some one’s girlfriend. No thank you.

I sense a sweep
I think we seriously break out. This team is too good not to.
"Servivor" is definately my favorite band
Also, nice to remember Cory Lidle before he sucked at flying.
Rays 2-1

Also anyone who votes that Rocky III sucked should be beaten into hamburger

He'll leave a ring around your eye and tread marks on your back
He’s an animal
He’s hungry
You ain’t been hungry, since “Supreme Clientele”

Excellent use of Ghostface interludes!

I just listened to that song
and he says “My swagger is Mick Jagger stones is rolling” OMGZ KANYE USED SAME LINE!!
Swav or Die.
I agree.
One of the more uncomfortable scenes though is the Apollo- Rocky training montage. Youtube even has a Brokeback Rocky spoof off of the Rocky III training montage.
In the name of Shinji Mori, we shall win!

Wow.
That comment in itself is almost more fucked up then “Freddy Got Fingered.”
In the name of Shinji Mori, we shall win!
