Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

i was trying to combine both in an animated gif

still had the same feelings for tonight

do we have to burn the rays fans who buy and wear that hat?

Well that ended well.

10 game road trip coming out of the ASB. Rays need to win at least eight or they might as well start tuning up their golf swings. But the way they’re playing on the road, they’ll lose seven of them, and that’ll be that.

In other news, Keith Law thinks players who roided up should be rewarded for their misdeeds in the same season they’re caught cheating. I’m not saying that Manny should never get a look at the Hall of Fame, but this kind of mindset is akin to thinking it was OK for Shawn Merriman to be elected to the Pro Bowl after getting busted.

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

Complete TEAM FAIL

Everyone was waiting for the other shoe to drop when they went back out on the road. That 18-7 run just couldn’t last. But they didn’t have to fail this spectacularly.

I have not enjoyed watching baseball this last week. I hope they can at least start getting themselves into games.

DFA Dioner already.

2-4 road trip

!= end of world

I could be wrong though

This off season will show what Friedman's made of

It may not be a quantifying comment, but the old adage about ‘can never have enough pitching (SP)’ never rang so loud

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 8:56 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, yes you can.

And haven’t we said “This is the off-season that shows Friedman’s true talent level” every off-season? People should be less dramatic about this stuff. He’s a really good GM with a really good supporting cast.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 6, 2009 10:22 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

There is no way that 5 starting pitchers went from being good to sucking.

It’s either an anomaly or a problem in the process, but it’s not talent.

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

Last 10 games

Boston: 5-5
Us: 6-4

Quit being dumb.

by rglass44 on Jul 6, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yankees: 9-1

You quit being dumb.

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

What did they do before that?

Dropped a series to the Natinals. Everyboy swoons and everybody booms. Its a long season.

The question today should be

‘will we finish 500’?

I don’t see the NL on our schedule anymore this season

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 7:24 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Does this disturb you at all?

We have two former players in the ASG and all we have to show for them is a AAA player

comments?

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 8:06 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I am so disturbed.

I can barely sleep at night.

by rglass44 on Jul 6, 2009 9:56 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

We need to stop giving players away

Cantu for Medlock

Hammel for Rodriguez

Sean Camp, Bobby Seay

I’m not saying these guys are netter than what we have, but dammit get something for them

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 10:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Why stop there.

Ridgeway for Aybar
Young/Harris for Garza/Bartlett

by rglass44 on Jul 6, 2009 10:08 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

McClung for Balfour

Signing Pena for nothing. Friedman clearly has no clue

www.draysbay.com

by Tommy Rancel on Jul 6, 2009 10:20 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

well, the Balfour trade worked out for everybody

More or less. Because, really, “Grant Balfour: Emergency Fifth Starter!” would only last one episode.

(although we are coming to discover that McClung only works properly with the optional Mike Maddux accessory)

by morineko on Jul 7, 2009 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Cantu's case was odd.

The whole “I’m not going to report” saga drained his value.

Also, Sean Burroughs was a nice return for Dewon, and Edwin/Tiffany was fantastic for Carter/Baez.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 6, 2009 11:04 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And really, it's Jorge Cantu.

One good season in his career to date, and that came last year.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 6, 2009 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Plus, his face.

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

by kericr on Jul 6, 2009 11:10 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Good call, lawn gnome defense should be outlawed

1.7 ain’t half bad, though, and his offense was sexy that year.

SOSH AUCTION to K ALS

by Sandy Kazmir on Jul 6, 2009 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm still baffled as to how

the Rays couldn’t manage to win one game in this series. In fact, games two and three weren’t even competitive.

Hello.

by killa3312 on Jul 6, 2009 10:02 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I had never even heard of Tommy hunter

I figured he was some pizza delivery guy they signed off the streets.

Look at Burrell’s numbers the entire season. He hasn’t done much (although I still like the signing).

Hello.

by killa3312 on Jul 6, 2009 10:08 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i like you glassman

but posters like you in Cleveland are called Shappies, disciples of Mark Shapiro, no matter how good or bad the result

i have gone on record as saying Friedman is outstanding, but those deals suck, not to mention Dukes for Gibson

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 10:11 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think you replied to the wrong post.

Either way, I agree that it hurts a little to see guys leave and succeed. The problem with having so much big league depth is sometimes guys get moved for less because you have no room for them.

by rglass44 on Jul 6, 2009 10:21 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I thought he looked very good

more so than the Rays just making him look good. he was helped by an expanded zone though

bitch bitch bitch bitch moan moan bitch moan moan cry cry bitch tear moan cry

by howlandm on Jul 6, 2009 10:11 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow

only one tear, but yet it was preceded by two cries. I’d like to add in a “pout” and “foot stomp” if i may

by Buc Wild on Jul 6, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd bet Sternberg and Silverman would

love to see 30K bithching, booing fans tomorrow

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hope i'm wrong, but many things need to chamge

SP, defense, inconsistent hitting and baserunning

by Raymondo on Jul 6, 2009 12:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Most of the season, only 1 or 2 of those things have worked together

Bats are hot, pitching and defense goes down the shitter. Pitching is solid (like last week vs. the Blue Jays) then the bats go cold (even though we did win 2-3, but they weren’t high-scoring games).
