3/20/10 GDT: Minnesota Twins @ Tampa Bay Rays
When: 1:05 PM
Where: Lee County Sports Complex,
Radio: 620 AM WDAE
Rays Pitching Probables: David Price, Grant Balfour, Lance Cormier, Randy Choate, Rafael Soriano
Twins Pitching Probables: Francisco Liriano, Brian Duensing, Jon Rauch
Another sighting of Soriano, which makes me happy. Also, I'm going to be taking a much longer look at Balfour, Cormier, and Choate today after the news about Howell...
For some reason, I have this fascination with Francisco Liriano. I had a similar intrigue with Mark Prior and sadly he never returned to his old form, but hopefully Liriano manages to become awesome again. Or course, just as long as it's not against us.

Shocking news of the day!
For some reason, I have this fascination with Francisco Liriano. I had a similar intrigue with Mark Prior and sadly he never returned to his old form, but hopefully Liriano manages to become awesome again.
Who wasn’t down for Prior dude was nasty and Liriano was dirty before he got hurt. They always just sucker us back into thinking they can be like they once were.

Touche...
I’m suppose I’m not the only one to become enamored with those type of players. Man, they’re so addicting. You want to believe they can still do it, but it’s just never the same…
I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

One scout’s pick for AL Rookie of the Year: RHP Wade Davis, #Rays. 10-8, 3.40 last year in AAA, 2-2, 3.72 in Sept. callup.
From Yer Scurvy Dog SRQman
I'd be shocked.
It’s hard for pitchers to win the award for w/e reason. My guess would be Santana or someone from Oakland, but the rookie class in the AL doesn’t look that strong this year.
Why you up so early?
No idea.
Add in the fact I woke up at 6am due to my throat bothering me and went to bed at like 2:30. I wish I was asleep.

Balfour, Cormier and Choate will have much to say about the success of this team
I’m sure with the news on JP, Andrew is busy looking for another reliever
ST has not been good for Balfour or Cormier thus far
Good thing spring training doesnt count

I hate trying to do work on Sat. I just have no motivation.
At least I’m just trying to get ahead to go to VEGAS next week.
Everyone is in a hurry
Can’t wait till start of season, can’t wait till summer vacation, can’t wait till Friday
when you get to be older, you’ll realize everyday is special, and we only have a limited amount of them
Make each day one to remember
Nope I just don't care about spring training right now.
It also might be that I can’t do anything right now too.

Well back in my day, bread was 5 cents a loaf.
Really, you don’t have to remind us of the fact that we all die and should cherish every day of our lives.
There are cards for that.
Bread at 5 cents i don't remember
but i do remember milk was 2 1/2 gallons for 75 cents

Best deal we never made
Well, looks like a broken leg for Navarro.
I made a joke about a player on the Rays. I must not be a real fan! So hilarious. Don't ban me, bro.

Yeah...I'm just listening to WDAE but it didn't sound good at all.
They made it sound like he was in a whole lot of pain.
Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. I'm on a horse.
Looks like Shoppach is going to be the full-time starter.
Who will back-up? I hope it’s not Colina. Jaso, perhaps?

Colina I assume.

Exactly.
That’s why I was thinking it would be Jaso. I guess it could be Lobaton, as well.

Navi got hit hard on a collision...sounds like his left leg is gonna be down for a while.
Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. I'm on a horse.
Collision at the plate with Jacque Jones.
Navarro holds on to the ball. Jones is out. Navarro has serious leg injury. Taken off of the field on a cart.

I love Daisuke's before/after pictures.
The pictures of him before he came and pitched in the States are awesome. He is in such great shape. After being here for a few years, homeboy has really gotten fat.

Has given up 11 hits today.

Who's the new P.A. announcer?
I know the Rays didn’t re-new the old dude’s contract. Let’s hope he is better than the old guy.

Hopefully some better than not news coming in a minute.

Madden just mentioned that Navi got hit in the shinguard and seemed to indicate that it may not be serious, just painful...

Last year, I felt they were underrated, and nailed a Final Four pick.

My contrarian nature
dictated that I not pick Kansas to win the tourney, because damned near everyone did.
My bracket is crazy. My Final Four was/is Kansas/Kansas St./West Virginia/Texas A&M.
That last one isn’t a mis-print. I hated Duke and Villanova entering this tournament, and had/have both done after the third round.

Kansas, Cuse, WVU, and Baylor over here
That was probably the best game we will see all tournament, what a finish. New Mexico’s poo sandwich isn’t helping.
