Singabull's Rays Rants

[TB Bulls]

Yeah, I don't know about his option status and I don't feel like looking it up.  At this point though I'm thinking that maybe it's better if they just let him go.  Maybe the guy just needs to be somewhere he can get more AB's or maybe he just sucks.  Either way he's looking lost at the plate.  According to this article, Baldelli is ready to go too.  Might as well give it a try.

For once, I agree with a Singabull post.  I must be slipping. 

I've been wondering for the last week or so if Rocco would take Gomes' roster spot.  He'd be taking Gomes role, so it'd make sense.  There really isn't anyone else to ship out.

I found this on the Rays Index site.  I guess he does have an option left.

There was some confusion over the status of Jonny Gomes. In yesterday's "Pepper" segment, we said Gomes would be DFA'd if Rocco Baldelli is activated. The feeling was Gomes is out of minor league options. This was verified by somebody close to the team...However, Gomes was only in the minors for 16 days in '07. A player must be in the minors for 20 days to count as an optional assignment. We double-checked with the Rays and sure enough Gomes does have an option remaining.

well Carl is out with a hammy so Gomes is starting tonight.

they cannot just outright send him to the minors.  he would have to clear waivers.  and believe it or not, gomes will not clear waivers.

GOOD, let some dumba$$ team take him. good riddance. get off his jock. he sucks

[Singabull]

I wish I was there to boo him off the field.  He'll go 0-3 with at least 1 strikeout.

Can't beat the freaking indians?  WTF

Struggle to get a split with the royals?

Of course the red sux and yankees beat bad teams but we let them beat us.  How are we gonna stay in this race if we keep losing to bad teams?  What is this?  USF vs Uconn?

[Held_AccountaBull]

i doubt we get to the playoffs by losing to these crap teams. garza didnt bring his stuff. team still cant hit worth a crap with runners in scoring position

wheeler, balfour, and howell are three pitchers that can pitch 7,8,9 in any order or combination.  Putting percival out there makes what shields and everyone does go to waste.

Do you know what  the definiton of a "save" is .... and how many Percy has this year?

Sure I do, and how many of those saves are with a 2 or 3 run lead?  Percival comes in with a 2 run lead and gives up a homer and everyone forgets about it because the rays still win.

If they still win then putting him out there DOESN'T "makes what shields and everyone does go to waste" ...... Do you even read what you freaking write?
