since we did so well on the road trip!

I'd say he wins again..

In case you weren't aware, they just came off a long 10 day road trip, didn't get into St. Pete until 4 am........So BP was optional and the guys didn't have to be at the Trop until 4 pm........So what? Plus its the "dog" days of August and most every team knocks off batting practice one day a week by this time in the season..................It is a loooooong grind!

Stop looking for every little nit picking thing to throw at Maddon or the players.........Go root for the Mets or the Astros!

That was kind of you..You could have said the Red Sox..LOL..

A team that gets no-hit one day and a week later is told battin practice is optionable needs to send they're mngr. to the team psych!

There you go again with dumb comments.....Apparently you didn't read what I wrote and have not paid attention the runs and hits the Rays have piled up since the no no.......

Let it go, it is over and done and the Rays have rebounded just fine!

Apparently that perfect game was the "shakeup" the team needed. Better motivation than Maddon or Shelton could have provided. And don't mess these boys up with batting practice...!!!

There ya go Art, thinkin just like Joe and ya call me the 'dumb' one.

Y' know your act is really getting old.....We may not agree on everything but I can have a good conversation about the Rays or baseball with tkrng, OldTampain, Casey, Vicrick and a couple of others and I enjoy the back and forth we have agree or disagree......

But you have become your favorite word.......a klowwwwwwnnn!! You never bring anything substanbtial, you never give credit where credit is due, you never seem happy when the Rays win..........Unfortunately you have become a sad joke who brings nothing to this forum, and even the so called funny lines aren't funny anymore!

Shees klown, where have I heard that before?
