The Rays and Royals played a 1 hour and 53 minute game last night?

That's shorter than most Meat Loaf songs!

The Rays sure could have a more fierce logo

I mean one of those things murdered the Crocodile Hunter!

You have that on your resume and instead you use a logo stolen from some jeweler?

NOT impressed!

Pennant fever last night in Tampa/St. Pete!

11,968 experienced it.

They need a mascot or something.

Why did they trade for him?

Now that the Pirates have traded for infielder, Akinori Iwamura from the Rays, Iwamura who makes $4.85 million a year becomes the highest paid player on the Pirates.

That salary just cannot be acceptable to the Pirates.

I suspect that he will get traded shortly for prospects and maybe a bag of baseballs.

If I was Iwamura, I would not even look for an apartment. I wouldn't waste the security deposit.

The Rays have an employee who has a bomb fetish

Per the St. Petersburg Times, a Tampa Bay Rays employee was arrested before Wednesday's game with the Red Sox for planting a fake bomb at Tropicana Field.

Wonderful!

38 year old William Jordan is a mechanic with the team and apparently planted a box taped to a shelf with wires sticking out which emitted a beeping sound. (Geez this guy is easily amused) The device was found in a cabinet near Gate 2 in an area closed to the public.

Of course, the police and bomb squad were called. Once they arrived, Mr. Jordan confessed that he planted this fake bomb apparently laughing hysterically and I guess saying something like, "It was me. This is what I do for kicks. You can all go now. Hey, what are you doing with those handcuffs?! I didn't hurt nobody! Hey, what are you doing?!"

He has been charged with planting a hoax device. As to Mr. Jordan's present employment status, Rays vice president Rick Vaughn would only say, "This will be handled internally."

The article then goes on to give Mr. Jordan's home address. Man, that is brutal.

Who does this post-911? Sorry but this is like a Homer Simpson-level of dimness on display here.

For fun, you make a fake bomb complete with beeping sounds and plant it in your place of employment which just so happens to be a 40,000 seat stadium where there is a game scheduled in a few hours. All the while I am guessing probably watching the festivities while hiding in a closet with the door ajar.

He couldn't get his kicks by spraying shaving cream in the head of the mascot costume or putting crazy glue on the toilet seats in the clubhouse or something?

I thought thousands of years of Darwinism weeded out people like this.

I for one am starting to have my doubts about this "evolution" thing. There is just too much of this stuff going on.

David Price's athleticism (or maybe lack of)

Last night in the Rays 5-2 win over the Twins, David Price fielded a routine ground ball and then threw the ball over the head of first baseman Carlos Pena that put 2 runners in scoring position.

"That was awful" Price said. "The most unathletic thing I've ever done. That was embarrassing."

So David Price says this throw was the most unathletic thing that he has ever done. Hmmmm.

Haven't you ever tripped on a crack on the sidewalk and fallen face first (splat!) onto the concrete?

Have you ever "missed" on a football kick-off, Charlie Brown-style?

Ever fallen off a roof?

Come on now, David! We know better.
