Well, kids, get your Rays gear on, because if this series goes five games, that means no Cliff Lee or David Price in Game 1 of the ALCS. Which we can now talk about freely without jinxing anything! (Again, not that I believe in any of that jinx stuff, of course).
Anyway, they’ll always be the Devil Rays to me; I was so annoyed when their silly name change actually worked. But I’ll be pulling for ’em today.
Plus, of course, a Rays-Yanks ALCS was my pre-season pick... and George W. Bush is at the game rooting for Texas, so, yeah. Go Rays go!
This is a nice, quick read about Robbie. Go Rays. I think. : /

Can't anybody play defense any more? Oy!
Ah, I was hoping for a nice offensive explosion there, but I guess it's not gonna be that easy
I don't want the Rays and their suddenly analytical fans to get back in this; go Rangers.
I'm for the Rays too. Got to want that Game 5. It's crazy that we've got to wait until Friday for the next game. Talk about cockamamie.
Stupid Rangers. Stupid Rays.
[2] thanks for that link.
longo, who's not running well, is hitting just fine. 5-zip devil fishes...
Come on Tampa, don't let them back in.
yet another hit for longoria. leadoff double in teh 8th...
price & lee will both be pitching on tuesday!
again, with conrad at 2nd base. damn. he should be at 3rd, with infante at 2nd. i don't get it... 2 on, no one out, here in hotlanta...
Okay, good, a Game Five in TB.
Can't hoit.
[12] how was the gig?!?!?! i hope he played well and was happy with it.
Hey thanks, man!
Yes, it went well. Everything was great, except I think I got food poisoning. Not horrible, just a rather painful stomach ache. (I think it was the food, not the drummer, although you never know what a fiendish backbeat can do.)
The Devil Rays name was part of that unfortunate trend where sports teams had to pick "scary" names for a while. Like The Raptors, the Diamondbacks, what else? There were a few. Oh you are an intimidating sports franchise!
I'm glad they changed it.
I am rooting for Texas because the familiarity of playing the Rays 18 times has bred contempt. Also, George Bush endears them to me.
