Rays Fans Meet Hubris, Hubris Rays Fans

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:00:29 +1900

The playoffs always feature some interesting t-shirt designs from fans. Usually the shirts are a little crude (see “Jeter Sucks A-Rod”) or overconfident, but they are made by fans so that makes sense. On the other hand, for a franchise, particularly one in the playoffs for only the ...

Yankees rivals Rays & Red Sox battle it out in Game 2 of the ALCS.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:56:56 +1900

The Boston Red Sox took Game 1 of the ALCS last night. It was a pitchers duel for the most part, and Dice-K was able to get out of jams left and right. Matsuzaka held the Rays hit less until the 7th inning. He got into trouble with all of the walks he throws, but he is brilliant with men on base.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:04:05 +1900

Despite a wild and crazy 1st inning, Daisuke Matsuzaka had 6 no-hit innings in his 7 innings of work as the Boston Red Sox went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 in front of 35,001 at Tropicana Field. The win gives the Red Sox a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-7 ALCS.

Not Much To Say…

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:23:07 +1900

After that loss. Every single time the Rays loaded the bases, they shot themselves in the foot. The first inning was pretty much the whole game. The Rays load bases through walks. The Rays strand... To read the rest of this story, visit www.futurerays.com

Boston Red Sox ALCS News & Notes - 10/11

4 down, 7 to go. The Boston Red Sox came into last night’s game hoping to steal a victory in Game 1 behind the pitching of Daisuke Matsuzaka. After watching Dice-K’s 1st inning, there was no way to predict that he would actually last more than 5 innings given the fact that he .

The Matsuzaka Plan: ALCS Game 1 Preview

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:01:21 +1900

Interesting perspective on Dice K. I agree there are some advantages to Dice K's approach but he better be careful. You asking for trouble if you become to careful working to batters. He could face problems with walks which could lead to the big inning. Also the Sox bullpen is not a strength.

This can't be good

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:30:32 +1900

The ALCS begins tonight and MLB.com is selling these t-shirts. This is probably referring to the Rays' triumph in the AL East, but this takes on a whole other meaning with the two teams meeting in the ALCS. Rays in seven. What are your predictions?

It’s one season, relax

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:40:00 +1900

That the Tampa Bay Rays went from 66-96 to the ALCS in one year is a nice story, no doubt about it. But as these official team t-shirts prove, they’re a touch delusional. Conquered a dynasty? The Rays were 7-11 against the Yankees this season. Give me a break. (Thanks to Can’t ...

The Sox Optimists' Catalog (or, 10 Reasons the Rays are Going Down)

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:58:43 +1900

Good ordinary gloom is more respectful of tradition, but I could never help being an optimist. A Red Sox fan, yes, and an optimist, even before 2004. Expect the worst, but hope for the best. It's still my policy When we headed to LA last week, I expected the worst. They’d pounded us in eight of nine games, so why stop now? But I hoped for the best. We’d faced the AL East all season, while LA swatted down the scary Mariners and A’s, and with ...
