That would be sweet. If there is a radar gun there I'll try to find out what he's hitting, and give a report on the game when I get home. Just bought my tickets, VIP section right behind 3rd base dugout, should be fun.

I may go out to see the game tuesday the 18th, its a 10:30 am game, which is perfect for me since I would be making the 3 hour trip to get out there and I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. It would be my first ever minor league game, anyone know what my chances are for seeing Gallagher that day? Whats his next scheduled start?

Carl Crawford just got ejected in the 6th inning. The bizare part about it is that he had just grounded out and was out at first, he slaped his hands together, as he was obviously frustrated with hiself and then was grumbling a few words under his breath as he walked back towards the dugout. His frustration had nothing to do with the play at first since it was not contraversial in any way, not even close. He wasn't looking at any of the umps and the 3rd base umpire threw him out of the game. Here's what I want to know. A. How could the 3rd base umpire (Garry Darling) have known what he said, since he was on the opposite side of the diamond. B. What cause did he have for throwing him out of the game? It was just bizare, completely bizare, not to mention wrong. The poor Rays were already short on the bench with all the injuries they have now the only guy left on the bench is Cantu and he supposively wasn't healthy enough to start the game. You know the great thing about fantasy baseball is it draws you into watching games you would never otherwise have any interest in. I have the extra innings package so Im watching an aweful lot of baseball. ***update*** Apparently Crawford was thrown out because when he got back to the dugout he threw his helmet and it bounced over the railing of the dugout and into the dirt in front of the dugout, apparently that was enough for Darling to eject him. Bah! seems bogus to me

I recieved my "Diamond Jaxx charcoal stop short tee" today, its pretty nice. Highly recomend even if you dont win, order one. =)

Where are the pitching matchups today?

Crawford stole a base tonight but it didnt register on the game center. I was watching the game so I know it happened and several other sources show a SB as well. Whats up with this?

Off Veal?

How many walks?

Well sounds like he settled down in the second, thats good. I guess that was the bottom of the order though.

Hmmm how many hits/walks did he give up?

Im on board! Rusch sucks!

I dont guess it matters how many runs you give up if you cant score any. A loss is a loss

Im telling you the excuses will be pilling up after this game. Dusty will say, "I thought Rusch pitched a good game, the wind was blowing out and pushed those fly balls out, he'll be fine the next time out" or something stupid like that.

You didn't expect a dominating performance out of Rusch did you? Wait till we get to both our bullpen and their bullpen. The tides may turn. We may not see thier bulpen if Bronson continues pitching the way he has he'll probably get the complete game.

lol at least he can hit. I think Bronson gave that to him for the 2 homers

I thought this guy was a fly ball pitcher?

He's on the books for 5 million, he isn't going anywhere. Not unless he's traded. Wow! they really gave him 5 million? That was a really bad idea.... *shakes his head* ... 5 million? really?

Yes

lol Yes it is stupid Rusch = stupid What is gonna be great is after the game they will make all kinds of excuses for Rusch, wind blowing out ect.. I dont see how they can justify keeping him in the rotation. I dont think we need him on the roster in any capacity.

Barrett should have just run over him full force

Well the offense is off to a blistering start. Apparently Bronson knows how to keep the ball on the ground when he needs to.

Maybe if Rucsh gets pounded they will call up Guzman, Rusch is aweful.

Hopefully Veal can have a possitive outing, didnt he walk a lot of people his last time out? Should also be very interesting to see what Pie does against Sheets.

No its not there are 5 of us there

What I want to know is how did he react to the Grandslam? He was just literally scraming when Barrett's bat hit the ball. Everybody knew it was gone when it hit it. I wish I could have heard the call, thats kool. XM has the espn feed =(
