[picappgallerysingle id="6616986"] Sure, you can giggle about going to see the Go-Go’s. Feel guilty about what you might see while watching Adam Lambert. But, for pure star value, the Tampa Bay Rays are the 2010 champions of post-game concerts. Take the Texas Rangers for example. Their list of “talent” includes Reckless Kelly, Stoney LaRue [...]

What’s Important Now: Rays Too Generous
Posted: 31st May 2010 by Devon Rogers in What's Important NowWith this series split at home, the Rays home record is now 15-12. That is not very good for the best team in baseball. Their 19-5 road record has saved them, or else this team could be a lot worse than what it is now. That was just a bad game yesterday. The Rays were [...]

[picappgallerysingle id="8869263"] With the Rays’ bats slumping in recent weeks, the attention is definitely on the Rays starting pitching rotation. Paul White of USA Today wrote about the staff, calling them the “Five-armed Monster”. Quoting Indians manager Manny Acta: “Pitching rules. They’re in first place because of their pitching.” So, how did the Rays [...]
On the day that Roy Halladay throws a perfect game to get us off of the consecutive perfect game streak, the Rays tore apart John Danks. Danks tore apart the Rays offense the last time he faced them, so it was only fair that the offense exploded to guarantee a split. For the Rays, Evan [...]

[picappgallerysingle id="2205690"]It’s hard to watch a walk-off celebration that goes as bad as it did today for the Angels. Kendry Morales will be lost for an extended period of time after fracturing his lower leg. He will undergo surgery tomorrow. So, I bring up the Rays. The Angels would seem to have a glaring [...]
