Thank you for a great season. One word: MIRACLE Who would’ve thought. We will be raising a banner that says that we are the AL Champs. Post your season memories.

So, we lost the World Series we weren’t even supposed to be in. After winning the ALCS nobody imagined we’d ever be in. After winning the ALDS nobody imagined we’d ever be in. After going to the playoffs nobody imagined we’d ever be in. After winning the division nobody imagined we could ever compete in. [...]

The suspended game that was due to be played tonight at 8:00 has been canceled. The game is tentatively set for 8:37 tomorrow night due to a Barack Obama campain comercial. There is 8-10 inches of snow on the ground in Philly and the conditions are treturous. We will see if they can get the game [...]

Longo and Carlos, Thank you very much for hitting the ball. Now we can win this game and head back to the Trop. Sincerely, The Rise Of The Rays Staff (AP Photo/ Julie Jacobson) We had ugly weather all night. Thanks to Carlos Pena, we scored two runs to tie the game after the Phillies [...]

Dear my great hitters, Longo and Carlos, You need to start hitting for this game. Your swings look terrible. You guys need to fix it. You know you are sucking when Andy Sonnanstine has more hits than both of you combined. (Even though Andy is a good hitter.) You guys have been moved down in [...]

I know it may be sacrilegious to quote the Red Sox at this moment, but it is applicable. “Don’t let us win this game.” That was uttered by Kevin Millar prior to Game 5 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. This series–this season–is far from over.  The odds may be stacked against us, with [...]

Just after 1:50 in Philly, the game ended on a dribbler to Longo, the final score, Phils 5-Rays 4. The only other things you need to know about the game are, the Rays scored all of their runs without a hit. (sac fly, 2 groundouts, and a fielding error.) Also, the Rays broke the record [...]

Garza vs. Moyer. Hold off the rain. Please hold off the rain. GO RAYS!! Garza is nearly unstoppable anywhere he pitches. Hopefully he will pick up where he left off in the ALCS.
