How 'Bout Those Rays?!?!

digginfool · July 02, 2008, 02:23:35 AM

Just finished watching the Rays kick Boston's butt again. They are hot! Any bets on who's going to the Series for the AL?

asmart82 · July 02, 2008, 02:40:47 AM

I hope they don't do anything. It's gonna drive me crazy to see Rays "fans" if they do.

Team Alba Z400 Rider 43 · July 02, 2008, 02:51:10 AM

I am happy for them. They are a "for real" team. A complete team effort. I have been a Rays fan since the beginning. So I'm pulling for them!

digginfool · July 02, 2008, 02:57:35 AM

I think it would be awesome to see the Rays and Marlins in the Series. Marlins have a long way to go but it's not inconceivable. Hopefully, the Rays won't pull an A-Rod and choke in October.

Da_Mtg_Man · July 02, 2008, 03:04:20 AM

As long as they stay healthy then they won't choke.
I was at the game last night and there were as many if not more Rays fans than Bo Sox fans. That was great to see.
Now, we're 2 1/2 games ahead of Boston. How freakin cool is that? Go Rays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate those rays, they embarrased my Marlins. Im glad they beat the Sox though because im not a Sox fan either. If the Marlins dont make it no where the rays will eventually be my next team to go for due to being in Florida.

Da_Mtg_Man · July 03, 2008, 03:10:51 AM

How about that sweep.......
These guys are kicking a$$ and taking names.

digginfool · July 03, 2008, 12:01:52 PM

Rays won last night? Awesome!! They were behind 4-1 I think top of the 6th and I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore so I didn't see the end. I just looked at the scores; figures the bottom of the seventh would be where all the action was. Anyway, Rays are hot right now!

I hate baseball, but it's great to see them doing well.

Yeah, we had a 6 run 7th inning to make it 7-4 then the sox scored 2 more but Wheeler shut'm down.

Smoknbanshee · July 03, 2008, 05:25:58 PM

I am routing for the Rays. Would love to see them win the division that has been sewed up by Bos or NY for a many of years.

686RAPTOR · July 03, 2008, 06:29:34 PM

they swept almost every team they played. they swept the marlins, yankees and red sox and thats only off the top of my head im sure they swept more than that.

Da_Mtg_Man · October 17, 2008, 03:15:15 AM

Well, It's the bottom of the 7th and we have just put one of the biggest ass whoopins on the Bo Sox that they have ever had in a series. In the last 4 games we have scored 38 runs to their 5. What a schlackin' These Rays are just on fire.

Da_Mtg_Man · October 17, 2008, 03:35:39 AM

WOW,Did I speak to soon or what? It's now 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth. what a come back by the Sox

Team Alba Z400 Rider 43 · October 17, 2008, 04:14:32 AM

I think we all spoke to soon on this one. This is ridiculous.

Team Alba Z400 Rider 43 · October 17, 2008, 04:16:34 AM

It's over.

Da_Mtg_Man · October 17, 2008, 09:28:03 AM

Yeah, Thats alright. Now the Rays can win in front of their home crowd.

digginfool · October 17, 2008, 02:26:23 PM

I'll tear whatever hair I have left out if they blow this.

I hope they can hang in there and win one more. One thing for sure, it's going to end in Tampa. It would be a shame to let the home town down.

trx#9 · October 17, 2008, 03:33:30 PM

I tried to watch the last 2 innings that took 2 hours to play, how ficken boring can you get. Baseball is a little girls sport, I rather watch golf, ping pong, Frisbee throwing, dog gymnastics, underwater basketweaving and a spelling bee before that garbage.
Sorry guy's.......

FoxHondaRider · October 17, 2008, 04:41:08 PM

I hope the Rays win the World series. Theya re dominating in the toughest division so I can see it happening. THey better start changing those welcome to Tampa signs to say Welcome to Tampa, superbowl champions, stanley cup champions, world series champions.

mrbones · October 17, 2008, 05:29:05 PM

How could anybody think a 7-0 comeback in the last part of the game in the ALCS boring? This was baseball at its best. Too bad we were the losing team this time. I needed a stiff drink after watching this one to calm me down.

I knew Boston was never out. They have had some of the best comeback in history. But the Rays will prevail! I look forward to watching Saturday's game.

trx#9 · October 17, 2008, 07:03:15 PM

I hope the Ray's do well too, it's good for economy of tampa-st. pete. It's just to slow of a sport for me to watch, must be my racing blood.

mrbones · October 17, 2008, 07:16:42 PM

I hear ya. I honestly couldn't watch it during the season because I felt the same way. But, I love playoffs!

Team Alba Z400 Rider 43 · October 18, 2008, 05:37:36 AM

I agree with the sport being to slow. I remember when I was a little kid in the early 90's games would take maybe 2 hours. Now there 3 and a half hours or more! But the post season is pretty exciting to me. I've taken a ton of ridicule over the years for supporting the rays so I hope they can pull it off, they sure do deserve it! I wish ol Madden woulda left kazmir in a tad longer. I wish upton would have caught that fly ball, I wish Longoria wouldn't have thrown a bad ball to Pena. Madden should get manager of the year but he sure managed himself right out of that game.

Edit- He should have also pulled balfour and wheeler sooner too. He usually does, he had me goin nuts lastnight.

mrbones · October 18, 2008, 06:11:57 AM

Yeah, I don't know why he left them in that long either. Boston's bats got so hot I don't think it would've mattered.
