  1. Christ they still have the podium out? Who is responsible for scheduling shit for the Rays bc they suck.

  2. Sean with a 2 run HR in game 1, a 3 run HR in game 2. Grand slam today?

  3. Never thought I’d say this but I’m so glad to be back on Bally. Those fox guys last night sucked!

  4. At risk of sounding like a shithead….. Isn’t this what pregame is for? Condolences and all, but seriously

  5. People keep attributing the Bud Light fall from America’s number 1 beer to number 14 to the Dylan Mulvaney and homophobic boomers type thing, but really it’s all because Wade Boggs died and his consumption is finally zero.

  6. Do they not schedule shit in Tampa? Their analytics department needs to find a new event director.

  7. My husband made pancakes and bacon for a late breakfast before heading to the golf course for the afternoon. Me and the pup are lounging around hoping for a sweep.

  8. That feeling of absolute dread and horror when you realize the season is already halfway over 🙁

  9. Did Boggs try to break his own drinking record on the way to the ceremony?

  10. You’d think being a superstar ronnie would get a more favorable zone. He’s been getting screwed at the bottom this whole series.

  11. Every AB they steal a strike from Ronald. Imagine his numbers if he didn’t have to fight the umps too.

  12. I have no qualms about them pushing the start back two weeks ago but they could have told us since everything still said 1:40.
