Maybe this game

is the equivalent of the Aug 6, 2008 walk-off that sparked that August run.

I would feel better IF

Freakin’ Kazmir didn’t blow the damn load like he did. 3 1/3 and 10 hits is NOT going to inspire confidence, sorry. If a starter can’t do his damn job, then it will be difficult, not impossible to sustain winning streaks or win consistently. Come on, its time to turn some heat on these guys. Make Kazmir accountable, and if he can’t, its time for consequences.

Put Tampa Bay back on our road uniforms!!

What do you suggest?

DFA? Suspension? Firing Squad?

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.

Make him sit in Percival's car when it gets torched.

I’m serious, we should, as a site, pool our money. Buy Percy’s car at auction, and torch it.

Also murder scott kazmir

AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget

Winning by 7 runs down...

Don’t get me wrong, winning that kind of game is good, but NOT when your F’ing starter throws up on himself. So, winning is nice, but the PROCESS needs to improve or else this is going to be far and few between!

Put Tampa Bay back on our road uniforms!!

Since you're basically going results based disguised as something else, I will too

When your bullpen throws 5 2/3 scoreless innings, you’re going to win a lot of games.

Again...

Seems like I am playing devil’s advocate here, I kind of am. Can you and I enjoy it, sure, but for some reason, I see more of a problem than a solution here. Just like Percival two nights ago in Baltimore, there is a theme here that is LARGER than the fact they won the game. So, I tip my cap to a group of hard working players that busted their ass to win a game they shouldn’t have. It’s historic in that sense. But again, I argume the PROCESS i.e. the theme of Percival one night and Kazmir tonight.

Put Tampa Bay back on our road uniforms!!

this would be nice, well without the cold part.

Move Zo into the 6 spot and let Barty hit where he should, 9th.

the only thing is the loss of his PH dingers

2010 Rotation: 1. Shields 2. Kazmir 3. Garza 4. Price 5. Davis with Hellickson knocking on the door, it keeps getting better and better

Optimistic Rays Fan... Always

But It’s really fun on nights like these to be one…when it actually happens in REAL LIFE.

This could turn into a really fun game”

Game was epic.

Kazmir can’t blame the crowd.
Zobrist is redic.
B.J. had a great game. When he got on we scored or he scored each time. HR was amazing.
Pen needs a break big time though. Glad to see Lance do well….even Percy didn’t suck!

Swav or Die.

Yes.

But none went out! Progress kinda sorta not really. More people left when he came in I think then 7-0
