The last couple weeks have been real tough for me as a diehard fan of Tampa Bay Sports. In one 2 week span, I saw the chances for a playoff football season, come and go, even before the first game started. To top it off, our young baseball team, experienced a late season collapse usually [...]

11 straight losses and 12 out of 13 overall has the Tampa Bay Rays 1 game over .500. For a team who not only 2 weeks ago had a chance to make a final run at a playoff spot, this is to say the least, dissapointing.
The Rays went from being the 3rd best run differential [...]

Last nights’ loss to the Red Sox might have possibly been the final dagger in the Rays season. We are now 6 games back behind the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card Standings with only 31 games remaining.
I’m a little surprised that the Rays trotted out Andy Sonnanstine...

The Tampa Bay Rays handed Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay his worst loss in over 2 years last night, a huge win that kept us within 3 games of the WC leading Boston Red Sox.
Jeff Niemann survived an awful start and kept his composure to give the Rays 6.1 innings. He gave up 5 runs, [...]

After winning 4 out of 5 and making a move up the AL East and WC Standings, the Rays have dropped their last 3 games by a combined score of 25 to 9. Two of the games were quite embarassing losing 11-2 on Sunday to Ryan Rowland Smith and getting shut out last night [...]

The Rays, who much to my chagrin made 0 moves at the MLB trading non-waiver trading deadline two weeks ago, have made two moves to shore up two of our three weakest areas on the team. They have added Russ Springer and Gregg Zaun to augment the bullpen and catching defenisve respectively...

Two days after declaring that the Rays were finished, they completed a 2 game sweep of the Boston Red Sox to close the Wild Card gap to 3 games, and the division lead for the Yanks to 5.5 games.

I hate to be the pessimist, because generally that is not my disposition when it comes to any of our 3 Tampa Bay teams. This year with the Rays though, I foresaw a lot of issues that are coming to fruition and have failed to have been addressed. It’s not that today’...

Roy Halladay Sweeptstakes
With the Phillies looking like they are officially shifting their focus to SP Cliff Lee from the Cleveland Indians, do the Rays stand a better chance of landing Roy Halladay than they this time last week?

The Toronto Sun is reporting that the Tampa Bay Rays have entered into the sweepstakes for Ace Roy Halladay.
Upon hearing originally that Halladay was available, the Rays and the Phillies seemed to have the best chances (as far as packages were concerned) of landing Halladay. Reports...

In a real depressing turn of events, Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game against the Rays today.
Gabe Gross should have ended the perfect game in the 9th with a HR, but was robbed by defensive replacement Dewayne Wise. The catch, considering the magnitute of the moment, has to rank...

In the past 3 years we as Rays fans have grown to love our bespectacled skipper nearly as much as his own players have. Joe Maddon has an analytical mind and is not afraid to go against the grain when it comes to game strategy, he puts his defenders in the right place much more [...]
