From top to bottom, no team went through quite as many changes as the Tampa Bay Rays have this offseason. The teams first casualty came during the MLB Playoffs, when Rays general manager Andrew Friedman announced that he was leaving Tampa Bay and joining the L.A....

While most of the baseball world tuned in to Derek Jeter’s historic final game at Yankees Stadium, the Red Sox were busy routing the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight night. Similar to Anthony Ranaudo on Wednesday, Allen Webster ended his season on a high...

The first six weeks of the season haven’t all gone according to plan for the Red Sox. Various injuries and some poor hitting with men on base have conspired to dampen their offensive production, Felix Doubront and Clay Buchholz have each turned in a stinker or two,...

Game 3’s drinking game might have been really nasty for some of you. After that loss, I’m sure plenty of people went to the bars to drink away their sorrows. Without further ado, here’s the Game 4 drinking game. Again, please don’t break the...

It’s pretty much come down to this, folks. The Rays are falling way behind in the pennant race, and the Red Sox have gladly widened the gap. Their only chance to get back in the race? A tussle with the team at the top of the division. The Red Sox will gladly...

So. Last night. It was actually refreshing to see the Red Sox just pummel the Orioles like in the good ole’ days. Quite stress-free, I might add. Shane Victorino, professional hitter. The Flyin’ Hawaiian broke out the lumber yesterday, blasting two homers...

Sort of an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” situation for the Red Sox here, huh? They just finish with a hard-fought series victory over the New York Yankees only to run into the magma-hot Rays from St. Pete. We always want more baseball, and this...

After losing two of three against the Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (5-4, tied for first in the AL East) finish their homestand with a four- three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (4-5, one game back in the AL East). The Rays usually get by with pitching and...

Tampa Bay Rays 2013 Season Preview As you may recall, it began on June 5, 2008. The night prior, Coco Crisp had slid questionably hard into the knees of Rays’ second baseman Akinori Iwamura. Words were exchanged, but the teams shortly thereafter went about their...

Having taken two of three from the Blue Jays, the still-in-last-place Boston Red Sox (66-81, 17.5 games back in the AL East) visit that soul-sucking slice of hell known as Tropicana Field to play the Tampa Bay Rays (78-68, 5 games back in the AL East, 4 games back in...
