May 18, 200620 yr ...Besides Kazmir We have a good chance of taking 2 games against the D-Rays Which is why we can dangle one of our pitching prospects for a nice bat.
May 18, 200620 yr Seriously we don't have much pitching either. Tampa has a pretty formidable lineup aswell.
May 18, 200620 yr These game are going to be blow outs or back and forth games. We score, they score, we score, they score. Like the Braves series but nothing happens. Blown saves galore :lol . tampa bay has won 5 more games than us. Do they have a decent closer? I am scared of their offense. They can really hit.
May 18, 200620 yr We have slightly better pitching, but their lineup is much better than ours. Lots of power bats.
May 18, 200620 yr Not like our pitchers are the second coming of Cy Young either. true, but we do have Dontrelle & Josh Johnson throwing, which is about as good as we get.
May 19, 200620 yr Tampa Bay has no pitching? That may be true, but we're in no position to point out the faults of another teams staff. We can't pitch ourselves out of a paper bag. (now the 3% of the people on this site that don't hate me are gonna yell at me).
May 19, 200620 yr ...Besides Kazmir We have a good chance of taking 2 games against the D-Rays Please don't mention that name around me!!!!!!! :banghead Why Jim Duquette.....why?!?!?!?!?!
May 19, 200620 yr We may have more pitching talent, but right now that talent is very rough and disorganized and we really don't have a single guy who can go out there and finish a game for us. That's been the real problem with this team so far.
May 19, 200620 yr Author tampa bay has won 5 more games than us. They play in an easier division. :plain Huh? Dude! u don't really believe that, do you?
May 19, 200620 yr Yea they have no pitching, they just won a series against the horrible White Sox... wait arent they the defending champs? :plain
May 19, 200620 yr Considering we followed up a stretch of blowing 5-run leads in two of four games by losing 2 games in which we led in the 9th AND the 11th innings...I'm sure the Rays fans are saying the same about us.
May 19, 200620 yr I think the original poster is implying that the pitching we possess will be better in the long run...or much better in his opinion.
May 19, 200620 yr tampa bay has won 5 more games than us. They play in an easier division. :plain your kidding right? they have the red sox , yankees, and you can even mention the jays
May 20, 200620 yr We have won 1 series all year!! Quit saying we should win a series. We are this worst team in MLB. We'll be good in 08 and 09.
