July 19, 2015 general

Hello. I’m Tiger Woods, and I’ve gone through one more week without getting closer to Jack Nicklaus’ record. Now, as for Wilt Chamberlain’s record… – I normally don’t care who wins something as silly as an ESPY, but can we give the Fighter of the Year every year to Ronda Rousey. I just want to […]

How about a Franchise Four for our other teams?

July 17, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Perhaps you had problems with the execution. Perhaps you thought the voters botched the play. On the other hand, as ideas go, it was fun. Nice memories, healthy discussion, stats to compare. What could be better? When Fox-TV had fans vote for their “Franchise Four” on the night of the baseball all-star game, there was […]

Remembering C.C., the best Ray of them all

July 15, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. For years, there was no light shining on his highlights. The stadium was empty. The team was losing. The footage of the game was something to save to go between softball and poker. So no wonder it is that the world seems to have forgotten about Carl Crawford, the best Ray there […]

At the break, would you take Cash or Maddon?

July 13, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. Joe Maddon was Picasso. Every night, he was trying to paint a masterpiece. Kevin Cash is Sherwin-Willliams. Every day, he’s trying to paint a house. That, people, is the best comparision I can give between the last two men who guided the Tampa Bay Rays. Maddon was a wine-sipper. Cash celebrates victories […]

Random Thoughts: Cold, sober facts have FSU No. 1

July 12, 2015 general

Sunday, 6 a.m. Hello, I’m Jimbo Fisher. And this year, I’d like for FSU team to be the No. 1 team in the nation. Bar none. – If Jason Pierre-Paul and C.J. Wilson need a role model right about now, I’d look to former Rams tight end Marlin McKeever. In 1966, McKeever was in a […]

Odorizzi shines as Rays start to look healthy again

July 12, 2015 general

9:21 p.m. The two-game winning streak isn’t why the Tampa Bay Rays are feeling better about their fortunes. And the fact that they are closing out their first half a lot better than in the stretch before it isn’t why, either. For the Rays, it’s as simple as this: Finally, they look closer to whole […]

Ramirez gives Rays a reason to smile

July 10, 2015 general

These days, no one asks Erasmo Ramirez why he is smiling. These days, it’s pretty obvious why the pleasant right hander is grinning. And why he’s making everyone else grin, too.

Could these Rays lose 100 games before it’s over?

July 10, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. How bad could it get? How far out could they finish? The faster these Tampa Bay Rays fall, and the further, the easier it is to wonder. This team continues to plummet, past the clouds, past the mountain tops, and toward the rocks below. You know it will end up painful and […]
