The Rays Without Longoria
mvn.com 6/5/2009 — Evan Longoria wants to play today, and may well be in the starting lineup. If not, definitely a pinch-hitter or defensive replacement late inning.

Rays Shut Me Up, Get Out the Brooms for KC
tbsportsblog.com 6/5/2009 —
A few days after complaining that the Rays have yet to sweep anyone this season, Tampa Bay shut me up by rallying late in the third game of a three game set to complete a sweep of the Kansas City Royals. With the sweep, the Rays have once again reached .500 and look to make a dent in both ...

Ruminating on the Rays: Looking for new magic to the same old songs
theserioustip.blogspot.com 5/16/2009 — Although they are 4-0 with me in attendance, the 2009 Tampa Bay Rays have so far been a disappointment. Following 2007, a 16-20 record would not have been a bad start. Fans may have even gotten excited over being so close to .500. But unfortunately ...

mvn.com 6/3/2009 — Jeff Niemann looks to continue his recent success against Brian Bannister of the Royals. The Rays are without Longoria but have hot hitting Joyce in the lineup.

Bleacher Report - MLB 6/4/2009
I'm a little taken back on this move. And as of now, I still haven't stopped to look at the players they received in return for Nate "The Great."
I'm sure these players of whom I have never heard are going to turn the Pirates into the next ...
