Rays season over, sigh.

   Time to wrap up the Rays season. What a season we had here, never saw this coming. I thought, the same as everyone else, the Rays would improve but not to this extent. Let’s wrap it up…

The defense: The most dramatically improved thing on this team was the defense. The arrival of Jason Bartlett [...]

Reyes signs with Mets.

   In the middle of my chaotic day today I saw that Al Reyes signed with the Mets today. I personally don’t think that he has much left in the tank and it could get pretty interesting if the Mets use him as a temporary closer while Billy Wagner is out. If he goes out and [...]

Bone to pick with DRaysBay.

   Obviously by reading what I do here I’m a fan of DRaysBay and I think they do a great job at what they do. I have a problem with some of their opinions in a recent interview now though. They did a nice Q & A with Keith Law of ESPN regarding the status [...]
