***OFFICIAL 4-30-13 Rays v. Royals Thread***
 

My first game thread.

Royals 13-10 (Big Game James 1-2, 3.09 ERA)

V.

Rays 12-13 (Cobb 3-1, 1.82 ERA)

Time to right the ship, boys!!

In the header, it should read, "Rays v. Royals". the home team is supposed to be listed 2nd.

Thanks, n00b.

Now Shields needs to halt this two game losing streak.

Gotta nip this losing streak in the bud.

Shields is going to do work tonight.

Last chance for great weather at The K tonight before the shit storm hits tomorrow/Thursday. Anyone ready for another weather postponement?

Shields also confirmed a report in the Tampa Bay Times that he has been in contact with Rays third baseman Evan Longoria regarding the latter’s recent comments.

Longoria previously suggested the Rays were in a “better mental state” without Shields and outfielder B.J. Upton because the two veterans often referenced their time with the club’s struggling years.

Upton departed the Rays in the offseason as a free agent who eventually signed with Atlanta.

“(Longoria) texted me a little while ago to apologize,” Shields said. “It didn’t come out the way he wanted. Everything is fine.”

So...no retaliation then?

“I’m not going to hit him,” Shields laughed, “but I’m going to pitch inside if I need to. I’m definitely not going to be scared to do that.

“Look, I’ve known him for years, and I’m not going to let something so little ruin what we’ve had in the past. I don’t care about the petty stuff, and I don’t have any room for drama.”

This is why we acquired Shields, to stop a losing streak.

I wonder if Big Game defriended longoria on facebook-lol I bet that stung-lol Even MLB players hate to be defriended.

In for the win PBJ

Good wind again today. These mother****ers better rake tonight.

It's warmer today as well, 3rd time through the line up and we should mash.

Gawt damn CJizzles. Supposed to be FOUR STARS in an official thread. Hope to hell you didn't jinx us. Shit

Beautiful weather for some baseball.
