Should Marty St. Louis make the Hall? Other Tampa Bay athletes?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

An interesting post in the Bergen Record asks a question that is asked in the aftermath of a lot of great athletes. Is Marty St. Louis a Hall of Famer? And while we’re at it, what about Tampa Bay and the Hall of Fame? We seem to be at the porch, waiting to be invited in. We have seen excellence, but our teams have rarely been good. Somewhere in the middle, there is the Hall of Fame for Tampa Bay,…

Rays’ Nathan Karns provides the pitching, hitting his team needs

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays had been struggling with their starting pitching. Nathan Karns cured that. They had been struggling with the bats, too. Karns cured that, as well.

For the Rays, it was the first time this season a pitcher has…

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.

Tampa Bay bats quiet again as Rays offer little support to Chris Archer

in Sports/Top Headlines by

James Shields had days like this. David Price went through a few, too. And now, Chris Archer. This is what being an ace pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays is all about. It is making one mistake, and having it beat you. It is watching zeroes go up when your team is at bat. It is a losing streak with little support. This time, it was 4-0, Toronto Blue Jays. Archer failed to win his 10th game for the fourth…

Rays start the second half as Jays beat up Jake Odorizzi

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Is this any way to start the second half? The Tampa Bay Rays didn’t get enough pitching and they didn’t get enough hitting Friday night. As a result, they fell back to .500 Friday night, losing a 6-2 game to the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto scored five runs in the fifth to pull into a tie with the second-place Rays, who managed only five hits on the night. For Tampa Bay, starter Jake Odorizzi didn’t make it out of the…
