Use the comments to this entry as your own personal Gameday open thread. These open threads have been fun so far – so I’ll keep ‘em up as long as y’all are interested in having them.
If Eva divorces Tony Parker and then marries Evan Longoria, she wouldn’t have to change her last name.
or she could be Eva Longoria-Longoria.
The rate this is going at, we will be lucky to get 5 IP from Wake…yikes. Poor bullpen.
Hey, everybody! I’ll only be here for a few minutes, but I figured I’d say hi!
I didn’t realize the Rays hated us this much.
I do like this one, though!
(Look at the front and back of them.)
Erin, when I was a little kid we would visit my grandparents on eastern L.I., and there was a “nature trail” that wound alongside a little creek where there were all sorts of fish and ducks. It used to be a regular stop on our “visit the grandparents” trips, and I loved feeding the cute duckies too!
When I picked up the snapping turtle that time, it moved its neck back and forth and really did snap wildly. I was never so glad to get it out of my hands!
Ian – The name Eva Longoria-Longoria kind of cracks me up.
Liza- It’s more than a little late, but to answer your question way up at the top, I think Evan’s awesome, too!
Meghan – And Wake’s historically a Ray-basher…
Devils – I do like the second one. Especially the back.
Well, technically she is already Eva Longoria-Christopher-Parker. So she could become Eva Longoria-Christopher-Parker-Longoria (and I can’t believe I just took the time to look that up).
This is NOT looking good.
Dammit…
There must be something in the air. That knuckler looks like it’d be impossible to catch.
And just as I say it, WaKefield emerges.
Phew. Not great but could’ve been worse.
WaKefield!
Hi gang. What’s up?
Hey Abby :)
Wake at 71 pitches. That K was nice though. Now all we need is for Tampa to swing at the first pitch each AB for the next five innings and fly-out each time, and then we can get 8 IP from Wakey! Simple, right?
Lowrie has a really nice stance.
what Wake needs is a hemp necklace….didn’t he get the memo
Liza I was expecting a different word at the end of that sentence. ;)
I don’t like it when they say something like “Casey has left the game with a hip flexor.” It sounds ridiculous. Everyone has hip flexors, not just Sean Casey.
Haha. There are actually many words that could go onto the end of that sentence that would fit…
Yeah, Cashie!
Wow. I thought that one a hit for sure.
Okay, that WAS a pretty catch.
Rays still suck, but nice catch!
Great catch by Upton. Boo for us though.
My mom’s yelling at Garza for spitting so much. It’s entertaining…

dam Upton…ok that was a nice catch, it’s hard for me to give credit to the other team
Ah, sorry for posting twice.
Thurston’s back with the PawSox
And Lowell’s 1-for-3 with 2 RBI plus Van Every has a solo home run
JT’s cleared waivers, then?
He was one of the breakout stars of spring training, I think.
Yes Thurston cleared and the Red Sox outrighted him to Pawtucket today.
Good. Pawtucket’s thin on middle IFs right now, what with Jed with the big club and Natale out for the time being.
Ugh. C’mon, Wakey. ONE MORE OUT.
Wow, I really thought the Jays would pick up Thurston to be their DH since they released Thomas. Shows what I know!
And tie game…
I don’t like this Crawford guy.
Why would the Jays pick him up to DH when Thurston was 0 for the season in the big leagues.
Thurston’s a good utilty guy to have around since he can play basically anywhere but he’s no full time DH.
I was just joking:-P I know there is no way hell a team would pick him up as their DH haha. Unless they really value the infield pop-up.
FUCKIN E-6
A friend of mine is at the game – here’s a photo he just sent me of the rays tank in the outfield.
Sorry Meghan hard to tell when you’re joking online.
I like Crawford… when he’s not playing against us.
FUG, LUGO.
Good, Drew.
I wish MLBtv gave us the option to pick which station we wanted to watch. These announcers are almost making me wish I could listen to Joe Morgan.
Almost.
Crappus Maximus. Rays take the lead. Hey…Error #7. Yippee Lugo.
That’s sweet Texy. Did he go up to the catwalk to get Pedroia’s foul ball
ecl – join the Crawford Hate Train… it’s fun!
Ugh Lugo. Please get injured as soon as Lowell gets back, okay?
TG, that is a VERY cool picture!
I don’t believe it. It’s Jim Fucking Rice
PLEATS IN CLEATS!
These announcers are almost making me wish I could listen to Joe Morgan.
You take that back! :)
Ian – I requested he tell the Rays to quit hitting the ball.
Ian, right on cue.
