Snell is going for us and up against Miami's Adam Conley. This game featured a mammoth shot by Ozuna that hit the 2011 Wild Card pennant. Snell was cruising then imploded as expected and finished 5.0 IP 6 H 2 R 2 ER 3 BB 9 K 1 HR, Austin Pruitt faded back to form and Rays dropped this one 10-6. "Yep, this was a hard one that we let slip away," personality spokesman Kevin Cash says after the game.
"I know what I'm doing wrong but I don't know how to fix it," Snell says after the game.
Smoke a joint. Pop a fucking pill kid. GET IT TOGETHER BUBBA. Aint weed legal in Washington state? Fuck the Seahawks by the way.
Thursday night was a lot more prosperous as Matt Andriese (who is arguably our best starter) went the longest in his career with 7.0 IP 5 H 0 R 0 ER 3 BB 8 K. Strailey was good only until he wasn't. Bye bubba. THUG LIFE SUCKA. Tim Beckham stayed hot and hit two bombs. "Yeah man, I'm like locked in man, you know like yeah and yeah you know we gotta win man and we like you know yeah?" he remarked after the game. First rounder talk. Sup?
Friday night was promising until, well, Chris Archer does what he seems to do best. Implode once his team gives him the lead. He went on to strike out 11 but he also gave up a three run lead with a combo of Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales bringing the offense then the Blue Jays do what they do best. Start hitting bombs. So cheap. American League baseball is trash. The Rays actually answered back Top 7th with D-Rob's infield single and a misplay by Smoak but that would quickly be washed away due to Jumbo's Jumbo piece of shit relief pitching. Kevin Pillar doubles in a run. Kendrys Morales and Justin Smoak hit bombs and essentially run away with this game 8-4. Archer's night finished 6.0 IP 4 H 3R 3 ER 1 BB 11 K 1 HR. Touching base on our "ace". It seems the third time through the lineups he either gets to mental or tries striking out guys when he should pitch for more contact thus leaving flat sliders over the plate to get drilled OR walks the lead off batter. Maybe he doesn't believe in his defense? Kevin Cash left him out there to face Morales. This wasn't a bad decision, he was the best pitcher at the moment to face him, it's just they got lucky with the pitch. It's frustrating all of these losses because the game is essentially ours BUT the bullpen cannot sustain any other offense it seems. They have had a revolving door of Hu, J. Marks, Jose Alvarado, Whitley, Erasmo, Fard, etc. Thus far this season, games they jump out early in they blow their lead eventually and it's maddening because your hopes are high then dashed because the offense falls asleep and the pen just gets worse and worse. We should be at the top of this division but our pen is THAT BAD. We even chased out shithead Francisco Liriano (who nailed KK's wrist) and STILL blew this game. Someone better dot Joey Bats, Smoak, Kevin Pillar or Morales tonight. Unintentional my ass. Protect ya neck."Yeah, tough loss. Archer was our best pitcher and like you know like we like you know yeah," Captain personality Kevin Cash remarked after the game.
Is his job slowly dangling? Can't really hate on the guy though. He uses what they give him but the dude really cannot manage a pitching staff nor seems like a leader in the clubhouse. If Lomo is your leader in there, may god have mercy on all of our souls. Rickie Weeks is batting .163 with 49 AB and 28 Ks. OUCH bubba. D-Rob be lookin' good in the infield. Colby Rasmus will find that stroke. Duffy and Ramos look closer to coming back. There is a god! This team is now 15-16 interestingly enough when they should be 29-1 or 28-2. That's how close some of these games are. They seem to play like total dog shit against fellow AL East teams.
I needed to forget so I went out to Uber a bit. A guy jumps in who I pick up from International Mall wearing -well what do you know?- a Cubs jersey and hat.
"Hey man, I am going to Westshore," he explains.
"Ok,"
I hook a right onto the street.
"So, Cubs fan huh?"
"They sure are great aint they?" he chuckles.
"Are you from Chicago?"
"Ha Ha, no. I am from Kentucky but moved down here to Tampa due to my work," he says.
"Cool,"
"You know they are playing The Rays this year right?" he adds.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah man, I cannot wait to see Starling Castro out there," he explains.
I abruptly stop the car.
"GET OUT,"
He looked stunned as I stared on in a murderous state.
So he did.
The plague of Cubs "fans" has grown far worse than Red Sox "fans". Florida sucks but I know where my loyalty is. I went to a 7-11, bought a twelve pack of Coors light and headed home.
