The Rays kept things rolling by defeating the Yanks 7-1 in the first game of a four game series. The Matt Garza we were sold on in the trade showed up last night getting ground balls and keeping hitters off balance all night. I think we would all like to see him get the [...]
The boys over at Rays Index have issued a challenge to all Tampa Bay area blogs and sites to vote Carl Crawford as an all-star game starter. I gladly accept this and support all efforts to get our boys in there. Here is the excerpt from there site

VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN: You can use this [...]
The Magic have officially burst my bubble. I was a little over-excited and optimistic about the Magic’s chances when these playoffs started and they have shown me why. I didn’t get a chance to watch the game yesterday since I was at the baseball game but I’ve seen enough off my dvr to know [...]
Haven’t had much time to get online this weekend so i’ll drop something quick now. The Rays are on an unbelievable roll right now and it’s just fun to ride the wave. I usually go to between 50-60 Rays games every year and they usually end in disappointment and frustration. Not now baby! I [...]
I’m trying to get more info on this story but I’ll put out what I know. As you may have heard by now, the Zab Judah/Shane Mosley fight has been postponed due to Judah’s injury. This is funny. Judah apparently hurt himself falling in his bathroom and needed 50 stitches to mend a cut on [...]
From what I’ve seen from the Magic so far during the playoffs I’m not very confident that they can get by Detroit. They might have a shot at another win though. Chauncy Billups pulled his hamstring in the game 3 loss to the Magic and apparently this is the first time he ever had [...]
I’m confused by the lack of attendance at the Rays games. The Rays have yet to start hitting yet they win. You could go watch Shields, Kazmir and Sonnanstine. You don’t have to see the crap that was continuously rotated out of the bullpen last year. You can see one of the best defense’s [...]
One pitch, one swing and that’s the only thing keeping James Shields out of the history books tonight. James Shields looked outstanding tonight against the Angels. He mowed down man after man never slowing down to take a breath it seemed. You could not have asked for anything better from your ace after the [...]
These are the types of things that make me insane watching a baseball game. It’s not bad enough that the umpires have completely screwed up the strike zone but they are completely oblivious about the game in general. I’m watching the game now and Erick Aybar just got hit in the hand trying to [...]
The Bucs came away from this weekend’s rookie mini-camp without a lot of certainty on who can contribute here. Though this was hard to judge the Bucs kept four undrafted rookies to include Troy DT Chris Bradwell, Miami C John Rochford, Fresno St. RB Clifton Smith and USF’s own Amarri Jackson. None of these [...]
Eric Hinske continued to beat up on his old team tonight going 2 for 4 with a homer and a stolen base in the Rays 5-4 victory in Toronto. This breaks the Rays three game losing streak as Andy Sonnanstine has become the team ’stopper’ of late. Sonny has been on a roll and [...]
The Orlando Magic came out noticeably more aggressive tonight and showed a little bit of what got them here. Still the Pistons held on and pulled out the 100-93 win. Howard was an animal tonight and Jameer Nelson showed up to play as well. The rest are leaving a lot to be desired though. [...]
The Magic better wake up and start playing like they’re capable of or they’re going home swept again. The Pistons have won game 1 and are now telling the Magic that they’re soft and unable to play with them physically. The Magic players are ‘talking back’ but they better back it up tonight on [...]
The Rays lost their third straight to the Sox 7-3 and things are looking down now. Kazmir made his ‘08 debut and looked rusty as we thought he would. Kazmir is the type that needs reps and innings before he gets his location and mechanics in tune. This is not unusual. The bats look [...]
James Shields took the hill and looked bad from the first pitch tonight. These things happen. Shields is a good pitcher and this is just something that happens to all pitchers from time to time. The bullpen is starting to come down to earth as Howell and Dohman both gave up runs. Anyone who [...]
This was not the Magic team I watched all year. The entire team came out tonight and looked slow, soft and downright bad! Dwight Howard forgot he was a big man and played like he was scared to get physical with anyone. The whiny lazy Rashard Lewis showed up just flopping around the court [...]
The Orlando Magic have gotten their wish, they play the Pistons in round 2. After being swept in the first round by the Pistons last year the Magic have been wanting another chance to prove themselves against the best and have gotten it. The series opens up in Detroit tonight at 7:30 on TNT [...]
Last night the Rays got a poor performance from Edwin Jackson, who has quickly come back down to earth, and the offense struggled to drive in runs against Clay Buchholz in a 7-3 loss. The Rays left 17 men on base and just couldn’t seem to finish an inning off well. No one expects the [...]
May 31st will be a historic day in MMA when EliteXC broadcasts live on CBS(9-11pm) and even though I’m not a big fan of EliteXC this just goes to show the naysayers that MMA is a legit sport. My biggest beef with EliteXC is the quality of their fights, I want solid fighters facing off [...]
Matt Garza made his bid to stay in the rotation today after pulling out a 4-2 in the series clincher against the Baltimore Oriole’s. Garza, who pitched 6 innings, looked a little shaky early but overcame it to put together a solid performance in which he walked two, struck out three and scattered three hits. We’re all [...]
