I won't go to bed pissed tonight.

Ha a slam and Bubba getting it done

 

[Bmurph]

a game even the Crawler can love

IDK, somehow he will blame Banister and Moreland for the Rangers not scoring 25 runs tonight

 

[Kelleyman]

One thing Heaney could do very well is closing out games. He might be a great closer some day.

I have been saying this

 

[DT LUNA]

Bubba with a all most

 

[saddles]

Yep, I would imagine it is a couple years or more down the road though unless a manager could make a very good case for him to consider it.

 

[Kelleyman]

Funny they put Dunning in. Guess he is marched with Heaney. Wonder if he just closes us out

Hope he does close out.

Smart to wait on Leody a bit

Smart to wait on Leody a bit

Imagine an OF of Leody, Bubba and Garcia if the first two can ever hit consistantly.

I'd like smith, but as and Garcia

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Man, I know Heaney was fantastic tonight, but Dunning, with the big leap he's seeming to have taken, just screams starter material. We shall see.
Is it unrealistic to think he could pitch 3-4 innings somewhat regularly as a reliever?
Not just in blowout losses? It's kind of an alternate way they could keep him somewhat stretched out without sending him down to AAA.

 

[DT LUNA]

WIN

 

[armadillooutlaw]

WIN

Feels good, doesn't it?
Been a while since this team has been legitimately competitive.

 

[Kelleyman]

Interesting

 

[Senator_fan]

Heaney has always had a good arm. He is susceptible to having a meltdown but had a lot less of them last year.

 

[Senator_fan]

Even if the Rays play .500 the rest of the season they will finish 86-76, the same record they had last year and clinched a wild card spot.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Tonight’s ball game was fun.

got to see Heaney break a record, got to see a grand slam, got to see perhaps Zack Greinkes last game against us in his storied career. The bullpen continues to dazzle.

we needed a game like this after Baltimore punched us in the mouth and the cubbies kept us under wraps most of the weekend in Chicago.
