Rays win again. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I've never been more excited to be a Rays fan. The Rays beat Boston again tonight 2-1 and it was an awesome game. Edwin Jackson pitched well and the bullpen did too. The Rays hung in against the Sox all the way Akinori Iwamura finally came through in the ...
The Bucs draft coverage. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Bucs draft went off today without too much wildness. I saw rumors of a Jason Taylor trade, a Chad Johnson trade, a Lito Sheppard trade and all kinds of other crap I had not intention of paying attention to. I originally intended to cover this pick by pick but I ...
Magic go up 3-1 against Toronto. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Magic
finally showed some clutch play away from the Amway Arena and put down the Raptor's for a 3-1 lead and are one away from closing out the series. Turk stepped up in the fourth and the Magic overcame bad play from the backcourt to overcome Toronto
. On ... Read more:against
Magic win! On to round 2. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Magic
have moved on to the second round
of the playoffs with a convincing victory over the Toronto Raptors 102-92 and won the series 4-1. Dwight Howard had his third 20/20 game of the playoffs and simply proved to be too much for the Raptors to handle. Howard, ...
Rays in first, Shields player of the week. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well in case you've been locked in a closet and hadn't heard let me tell you, our hometown Tampa Bay Rays are in first place! Well tied for first actually but in first none the less. I know it's early and I know I'm not supposed to get overly ... Read more:Shields

Rays win another series, Upton hurt. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Matt Garza made his bid to stay in the rotation today after pulling out a 4-2 in the series
clincher against the Baltimore Oriole's. Garza, who pitched 6 innings, looked a little shaky early but overcame it to put together a solid performance in which he walked two, struck out three ...
The Bucs bring in ANOTHER Quarterback. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 OK the Bucs must be messing with us now. This must be some sort of twisted joke by the Gruden/Allen show. According to Yahoo NFL the Bucs have brought in undrafted free-agent QB Sam Keller from Nebraska to 'compete' for a roster spot. We shall now see the Bucs ... Read more:Quarterback
Sonnanstine shines in win. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Andy Sonnanstine threw another gem tonight as the Rays beat the Oriole's 8-1 to even the series at one. This is creating a nice problem for the Rays as Sonny has pitched very well so far to the tune of four wins in the first month. Jackson is still ...
The Rays defense IS better. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Let me give it to myself before I get shell shocked by Rays Index and the rest of them. Jason Bartlett is better
than Brendan Harris. I judged Bartlett too quick and I have to retract my earlier statements. In the first few weeks of the season I was ...
The Chris Simms situation. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well the draft is over and all the hoopla began on how great everyone is or why did they draft a guy like Dexter Jackson so high and then I saw something that was actually interesting. Roy Cummings reported today that the Bucs received trade offers for ChrisSimms
...
For those who care. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 For my very few readers out there a quick note. I'm having some trouble with the site right now and am hoping to have it fixed shortly. This is a learning process for all as this is my first blog and I'm learning all of this on the fly ...
Rays bad again in loss to Sox. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 James Shields took the hill and looked bad from the first pitch tonight. These things happen. Shields is a good pitcher and this is just something that happens to all pitchers from time to time. The bullpen is starting to come down to earth as Howell and Dohman both ...
Magic lose game 1, look aweful doing it. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This was not the Magic
team I watched all year. The entire team came out tonight and looked slow, soft and downright bad! Dwight Howard forgot he was a big man and played like he was scared to get physical with anyone. The whiny lazy Rashard Lewis showed up ... Read more:doing
Magic look for payback against Pistons. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Orlando Magic
have gotten their wish, they play the Pistons
in round 2. After being swept in the first round by the Pistons last year the Magic have been wanting another chance to prove themselves against
the best and have gotten it. The series opens up in Detroit ... Read more:payback
Rays struggling in Sox rematch. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last night the Rays got a poor performance from Edwin Jackson, who has quickly come back down to earth, and the offense struggled to drive in runs against Clay Buchholz in a 7-3 loss. The Rays left 17 men on base and just couldn't seem to finish an inning off ...
MMA goes primetime 0000-00-00 00:00:00 May 31st will be a historic day in MMA when EliteXC broadcasts live on CBS(9-11pm) and even though I'm not a big fan of EliteXC this just goes to show the naysayers that MMA is a legit sport. My biggest beef with EliteXC is the quality of their fights, I ...
Pistons winning games and war of words. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Magic better wake up and start playing like they're capable of or they're going home swept again. The Pistons
have won game 1 and are now telling the Magic that they're soft and unable to play with them physically. The Magic players are 'talking back' but they better ...
Rays get swept, bats need help. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Rays lost their third straight to the Sox 7-3 and things are looking down now. Kazmir made his '08 debut and looked rusty as we thought he would. Kazmir is the type that needs reps and innings before he gets his location and mechanics in tune. This is ...
Magic drop game 2 despite raining three’s. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Orlando Magic
came out noticeably more aggressive tonight and showed a little bit of what got them here. Still the Pistons held on and pulled out the 100-93 win. Howard was an animal tonight and Jameer Nelson showed up to play as well. The rest are leaving a ... Read more:despite
Bucs keep four rookies including USF’s Jackson. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Bucs came away from this weekend's rookie mini-camp without a lot of certainty on who can contribute here. Though this was hard to judge the Bucs kept four undrafted rookies to include Troy DT Chris Bradwell, Miami C John Rochford, Fresno St. RB Clifton Smith and USF's own ... Read more:Jackson
Rays pull out game 1 in Toronto. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Eric Hinske continued to beat up on his old team tonight going 2 for 4 with a homer and a stolen base in the Rays 5-4 victory in Toronto
. This breaks the Rays three game losing streak as Andy Sonnanstine has become the team 'stopper' of late. Sonny has ...
Judah-Mosley off, Lacy’s pissed. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I'm trying to get more info on this story but I'll put out what I know. As you may have heard by now, the Zab Judah/Shane Mosley fight has been postponed due to Judah's injury. This is funny. Judah apparently hurt himself falling in his bathroom and needed 50 stitches ...
Orlando won’t get swept, might get another. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 From what I've seen from the Magic so far during the playoffs I'm not very confident that they can get by Detroit. They might have a shot at another win though. Chauncy Billups pulled his hamstring in the game 3 loss to the Magic and apparently this is the ... Read more:Orlando
Where are the fans? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I'm confused by the lack of attendance at the Rays games. The Rays have yet to start hitting yet they win. You could go watch Shields, Kazmir and Sonnanstine. You don't have to see the crap that was continuously rotated out of the bullpen last year. You can see ...
Rays win behind Shields almost perfect game. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 One pitch, one swing and that's the only thing keeping James Shields
out of the history books tonight. James Shields looked outstanding tonight against the Angels. He mowed down man after man never slowing down to take a breath it seemed. You could not have asked for anything better ... Read more:behind
I hate umpires! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 These are the types of things that make me insane watching a baseball game. It's not bad enough that the umpires have completely screwed up the strike zone but they are completely oblivious about the game in general. I'm watching the game now and Erick Aybar just got hit ...
Magic are done. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Magic
have officially burst my bubble. I was a little over-excited and optimistic about the Magic's chances when these playoffs started and they have shown me why. I didn't get a chance to watch the game yesterday since I was at the baseball game but I've seen enough ...
Rays keep rolling. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Haven't had much time to get online this weekend so i'll drop something quick now. The Rays are on an unbelievable roll right now and it's just fun to ride the wave. I usually go to between 50-60 Rays games every year and they usually end in disappointment and ...
There’s nothing like Family Feud. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Anyone else just find themselves watching Family
Feud with the guy from Seinfeld? What the hell is going on at ION?!
Bucs re-sign Haye, lose Spires. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Finally got some Bucs news for the football junkies.
Veteran DE Greg Spires who we all remember abusing the Raiders in the Super Bowl season has left the Bucs to sign with.... you guessed it, the Raiders. Spires signed a one year contract after being released by the Bucs ...
