Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Here's an interesting story about Baldelli winning the Conigliaro Award (goes to those that overcome adversity) that's very fitting for tomorrow's holiday. Cheers!

Come on Florida! Let's make sure we all win! Go vote next Tuesday, November 4th!

All I can say is, "Whoop!" Unbelievably awesome! Read this if you're still on cloud 9 like me!

Best in the League!

Tuesday's win over the Angels tipped the scales in our favor to make us the best in the AL! It may be close right now, but we are on a great streak. 9 of the last 11 games? Let's keep that going!

Ballparks

Have you seen the design for the new ballpark? It won't be around until 2012, but the photos are pretty cool. It looks like a cross between a spaceship and sailboat. For now I'm content with what we've got. If you look for Tropicana Field information, you can see it's keeping busy. No lame duck here!

Strikes While He's Hot!

I like Kazmir as much as the next guy, but I kinda feel like we shouldn't mess with Sonnanstine's streak right now. Maybe Scott could take it easy just a little longer...?

Under a Rock

Where have I been? Living under a rock? I just realized it's been so long since my last post that I still had "Devil Rays" in there. I'll admit I preferred the old name, as I can be wicked and evil myself sometimes. But ya gotta roll with the changes.

I just go into sports hibernation when baseball season is over. I've bought my fair share of NCAA sports tickets, but most pro sports just don't hook me in like baseball. Something about cold beer under the warm sun...

Carlos Pena is MLB's AL comeback player of the year

Well, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays may not have had the best season (to put it gently) but things are looking up for Carlos Pena. It just shows you how some players can really turn things around - this honor comes just one season after 3 teams released him. Of course, the Devil Rays are still missing the playoffs, but it's best to focus on the positive!

A pickup for Tampa Bay?

Anyone know why there's any question as to picking up Witasick for the Devil Rays? His salary's actually somewhat reasonable, and he's good! Seriously, he could be exactly what we need. He's left-handed, he's effective when he wants to be, and he could give a lot of confidence to the rest of the team. I say it's a lock. Anyone else?

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have yet to release an official statement about Elijah Dukes' arrest this week. He was pulled over Monday night because of a loud music violation, and the cops then charged him with misdemeanor marijuana possession after smelling pot and searching the car. Dukes just seems like one of those young punks who thinks he doesn't have to play by the rules. Kick him off the team--he sure can't pass a drug test now.
