Nice Win

Out of last place and one victory away from a series win. They are starting to turn the season around.

We won one today…that’s two in a row. We win one tomorrow, that’s called a winning streak. It HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!

I'm glad we were down

and came back for the win.

Clutch.
Shows grit.
Gives confidence.
Looking a bit more like the 2008 Rays tonight.

Makes perfect sense… I just wish we could play these asses more often.. cuz we certainly play up to the level we expect when we play them… it seems. Of course SSS alert, but I realy like the trending.

All things LONGORIA!

Keep in mind it was still just one game

If we had lost 6-2 I would hope you wouldn’t be telling us how the season is over.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

Of course... but I for some reason am still in 2008 mode.

I beleive. I know we’ve sucked up till now. I know we look great in ONE game and then suck in the next TWO or THREE.. As you probably do, I think that we will finally get this shit straight soon and finally play like we should with all of our talent. It’s there… We’ve seen it… It is real. We are not a bad ballclub.

All things LONGORIA!

and by the way

I get very pissed at people that can turn on THIS TEAM based on one game, one series, or one losing streak.. If we are under .500 in August, I could understand… but we’re not there yet, and I don’t think we will be.

All things LONGORIA!
