in Sports/Top Headlines by

They didn’t pitch very well. They didn’t hit very well. They didn’t field very well. Except for that, things went swimmingly for the Tampa Bay Rays Monday night. The Rays lost to the worst team in baseball, dropping a 5-3 decision to the Philadelphia Phillies and pitcher David Buchanan, who had entered the game 0-5. But the Rays collected only six hits Monday night. Starting pitcher Matt Moore continued to look as if he was trying to find himself after last…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Who says a team has to hit the baseball to win? The Tampa Bay Rays closed out the first half of their season Sunday afternoon by sweeping the Houston Astros with a 4-3 victory.

Rays lose again despite an offensive ‘explosion’

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Perhaps it is a good thing the Tampa Bay Rays were not on television Thursday. These days, the Rays are just too hard to watch. The Rays were swept in their four-game series against the Cleveland Indians, and their ccurrent streak fell to only 2-9, and the Rays took firm control of fourth place in the AL East. This time, the Rays lost in the 10th inning on a home run by Mike Aviles. Yeah, it has looked ugly lately.…

Ex-Bolt (not him) trips them up in opener

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

In the end, it was a familiar face who did in the Tampa Bay Lightning. No, not that one. With all the attention on Marty St. Louis, it was Dominic Moore, a New York Rangers forward who played the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons with the Bolts, who knocked in the winning goal when the puck bounded off his shin pad with only 2:25 to play in the third period of Saturday’s opener of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals.
