First topic - who does Manuel trot out for DH? I personally think Howard should be the DH in Tampa with that shitty turf. Just put a righty at first if there's a lefty on the mound. Sadly, I guess Bruntlett has to be the guy? And with a righty on the mound, I guess you go with Stairs at DH.
Giddy like a little school girl - 30 hours away people.

dh should be Coste against Kazmir - put Marson on the roster and take Taguchi off it - he is dreadful anyway. Coste will get big hits if given the chance.
and like you i am giddy like a school girl - i can't freakin wait either. Let's win it baby!

Burrell DH and Werth out in LF and Jenkins in RF...but Howard isnt a bad DH either

anything to get Howard away from fielding a baseball.. but I think its Dobbs and/or Stairs. I don't care about who is pitching, its about getting your best hitters in the lineup somehow and that just what Dobbs has been.. plus being basically a PH most of the season, he's used to coming off the bench cold.

Yeah, but you gotta remember - I'm talking about against lefties. Jenkins is horrific against lefties. That's why I think it's gonna be Brunlett. Unless there really is some truth to the reason them bringing Marson was to put Coste in the DH and let Marson back up.

Barring the addition of Marsden allowing Coste to be thrown into the mix here is the statistical info on the four choices of Jenkins, Dobbs, Stairs, and Bruntlett.
Jenkins vs. lefties for his career:
.240/.310/.402 OPS .712
This season 3/23 with 1 BB
Dobbs vs. lefties for his career:
.250/.291/.288 OPS .579
This season 1/9 with 1 BB
Stairs vs. lefties for his career:
.239/.330/.419 OPS .749
This season 8/35 1 HR 5 RBIs 1 BB
Bruntlett for his career:
.269/.358/.396 OPS .754
This season 18/83 .254/.361/.380 OPS .742 1 HR and 5 RBIs and 12 BB
Not the best but what other options do you have??? Plus, you never know when a player may catch lightning in a bottle and play above their head in a series...

I was thinking more BJ Upton 9 HRs in 531 at bats this year. 7 HRs in 46 post season at bats so far.
Nah. He's a stud. He's just been hurt most of the year. Dude throws to home from center like a pitcher, and I believe he hit .300 with 25+ HR's & 100+ RBI's last year.

Twin brats of different dysfunctional mothers, the fanatics of Boston and Philadelphia come to the same place of extreme obnoxiousity from opposite roads.
This much I know from having lived in both places and having rooted against both home teams.
Believe me, as a New York Mets fan. I know obnoxious.
Boston Obnoxious
Boston fans have a haughty air of superiority that belies 86 years of "No, No, Nanette"-induced futility only recently replaced by the jinx-busted aura of invincibility.
Bostonians call their home The Hub. As in the Hub of the universe. As in the center of all things and the best place on Earth.
I lived there for several years in the 1980s and know this much: They really believe that Hub stuff and have since before the American Revolution.
Such long-lasting mass delusion of grandeur is hard to shake off.
Some of my best and oldest friends suffer from this syndrome. Which brings me to my good friend and former colleague Scotty Farmelant, with whom I have traded baseball guff for more than a decade.
I received this message via Facebook after the Rays blew Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
"Sox motto: Never say die.
"Rays motto: Don't look now, but your manager threw away your momentum with the dumbest managing this side of Grady Little. Can you spell 'C-H-O-K-E'? I can: T-A-M-P-A!"
I just rolled my eyes.
Farmy is a Red Sox fan. It's in his blood.
He couldn't help himself if he wanted to.
Which, of course, he didn't.
When the Sox tied the best-of-seven series at three, I received this missive:
"Howie, Howie, do you believe? It's sad that the Rays fans are learning what it's like to be a baseball fan in such tramautic [sic] fashion. Joe Maddon says Game 5 has nothing to do with anything. Sure. And Japan had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. Mark my words, the Rays are cooked."
Farmy, consider your words, and the Rays travel plans to Philly, marked.
Philadelphia Obnoxious
So here come the Philly fans.
Another obnoxious lot.
Whom I love with all my heart.
I spent 12 of my favorite years in the City of Brotherly Love (and Sisterly Affection) as an editor and columnist. Some of the finest people I ever met live in that town.
Even if some of them are obnoxious.
But unlike Boston fans, there is no haughty air about Philadelphia.
There is only the stench of an inferiority complex, dating back to its Revolutionary sibling rivalry with Boston and exacerbated from being in the shadow of New York to the north and Washington to the south.
And unlike Boston fans, Philadelphia fans don't think they, or their city, is the best place on Earth. Or even a very good place at all. Even though it's one of the nation's best cities.
Philly fans hate everyone and everything, but nothing as much as themselves.
They even pelted Santa with snowballs.
So fierce is the game-day passion of Philadelphia fans that a special court had to be set up just to deal with the brawling inebriates at Eagles' games.
And Flyers fans — who, like Eagles' fans, share a love/hate of the Phillies — recently booed Gov. Sarah Palin off the ice.
This is what you will see, Rays fans, as Phillies fans begin to deplane and invade the Tampa Bay area.
Boozing, brawling, self-hating maniacs, clad in red and screaming allegiance, however fleeting, to their beloved "Fluffya."
Before you look down on Phillies fans though, consider this.
It was only weeks ago that there were more empty seats than filled ones at the indoor mall otherwise known as the Trop.
The longest-suffering Rays fans have been waiting a mere decade to see their team in the World Series.
The Phillies haven't been there since 1993.
They haven't won it since 1980.
And they lost more than 10,000 games since the team was created in 1883, a record of futility even Rays fans cannot comprehend.
So good riddance Boston fans, and bring on the Phils.
Ring all the cowbells you want, Rays fans.
Crop your hair in Rayhawks and scream yourselves hoarse.
You have a long way to go before you can truly call yourself obnoxious.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you your typical critique of Philadelphia...

Geez...will it ever end?
True, especially since this guy along with Dick Vitale and Hulk Hogan are the most famous Rays fans:
Mikey Miss had the writer on 950 yesterday and basically lambasted the guy for digging up the same old Philadelphia stumping points... along with the new one booing Palin.... to which Mike stated its not like she wouldn't have been booed in any other arena where half the crowd were Democrats.

Geez...will it ever end?
No, it won't. Nor do I want it to either. For a city that seems to hate itself, we only out number any other area in the country where people are born, raised and STAY. We must not hate our city too much. Personally, I love this area and wouldn't trade it for anything - No harsh winters like the northeast, but actually get to see some snow during the holidays, and on the flip side have beautiful summer days at the Jersey shore. I'm just fine and dandy. The best way to put it is when I was getting on a plane for Vegas at Philly Int'l and this couple from Cali were frustrated with how to get around town and must have gotten a smug answer from someone. So the woman proceeds to say, "Hmph..And you call this the City of Brotherly Love..", while the elevator they were getting on was shutting. And an actual PHL employee says, "Welcome to Philadelphia...Now get the fuck out." Trashy? Yes. Awesome? You better believe it. My point being - most of the people around here are sick and tired of people from outside this area judging us and we really don't give a shit what they may think anymore, and on top of that if you don't like it - stop coming here. Benjamin Franklin put it best - "Fish and visitors stink after three days."

no it will never end - it's lazy reporting and lazy comments when people bring this stuff up. the snowballs at santa claus was over 40 fucking years ago - give it a rest people. what will they say if we win and 5 million people show up for a parade?
ALSO...just put a song on my ipod in case they win, and IF they win I want everyone blasting this song.....Whoomp! There It Is by Tag Team...ahhhh, like being a kid again.
The city of Philadelphia is so starved for a title that those fans could will this team to a victory. The Rays are not going to know what hit them when they arrive in the City of Brotherly Love. They think cowbells and mohawks are cool, wait until they see the crowd in Philadelphia in Games 3, 4 and 5.
Prediction: PHILLIES in FIVE
My drinking team has a hockey problem
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Oh, God, here we go....Dear, Cole. Hopefully this long layoff has only made you stronger and your fastball will be at about 94/95 and your spotting your changeup perfectly. Please keep it goin!
If we can take at least one here will be great. Hell, I can easily see us taking both as well as long as Brett doesn't spaz out and keeps pitching the way he has.
Comments
I told him to at least keep two, one for my brother and one for him, and possibly sell the others. He was offered 1500 for the three already...
He was at the world series in '75 and paid 10 dollars for his ticket.. amazing..

Philly fans hate everyone and everything, but nothing as much as themselves.
They even pelted Santa with snowballs.
So fierce is the game-day passion of Philadelphia fans that a special court had to be set up just to deal with the brawling inebriates at Eagles' games.
And Flyers fans — who, like Eagles' fans, share a love/hate of the Phillies — recently booed Gov. Sarah Palin off the ice.
This is what you will see, Rays fans, as Phillies fans begin to deplane and invade the Tampa Bay area.
Boozing, brawling, self-hating maniacs, clad in red and screaming allegiance, however fleeting, to their beloved "Fluffya."
Before you look down on Phillies fans though, consider this.
It was only weeks ago that there were more empty seats than filled ones at the indoor mall otherwise known as the Trop.
The longest-suffering Rays fans have been waiting a mere decade to see their team in the World Series.
The Phillies haven't been there since 1993.
They haven't won it since 1980.
And they lost more than 10,000 games since the team was created in 1883, a record of futility even Rays fans cannot comprehend.
So good riddance Boston fans, and bring on the Phils.
Ring all the cowbells you want, Rays fans.
Crop your hair in Rayhawks and scream yourselves hoarse.
You have a long way to go before you can truly call yourself obnoxious.

True, especially since this guy along with Dick Vitale and Hulk Hogan are the most famous Rays fans:

I hate teams with no tradition of fanbase.

Social awareness does not equal political activism!
5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
No, it won't. Nor do I want it to either. For a city that seems to hate itself, we only out number any other area in the country where people are born, raised and STAY. We must not hate our city too much. Personally, I love this area and wouldn't trade it for anything - No harsh winters like the northeast, but actually get to see some snow during the holidays, and on the flip side have beautiful summer days at the Jersey shore. I'm just fine and dandy. The best way to put it is when I was getting on a plane for Vegas at Philly Int'l and this couple from Cali were frustrated with how to get around town and must have gotten a smug answer from someone. So the woman proceeds to say, "Hmph..And you call this the City of Brotherly Love..", while the elevator they were getting on was shutting. And an actual PHL employee says, "Welcome to Philadelphia...Now get the fuck out." Trashy? Yes. Awesome? You better believe it. My point being - most of the people around here are sick and tired of people from outside this area judging us and we really don't give a shit what they may think anymore, and on top of that if you don't like it - stop coming here. Benjamin Franklin put it best - "Fish and visitors stink after three days."
no it will never end - it's lazy reporting and lazy comments when people bring this stuff up. the snowballs at santa claus was over 40 fucking years ago - give it a rest people. what will they say if we win and 5 million people show up for a parade?

The city of Philadelphia is so starved for a title that those fans could will this team to a victory. The Rays are not going to know what hit them when they arrive in the City of Brotherly Love. They think cowbells and mohawks are cool, wait until they see the crowd in Philadelphia in Games 3, 4 and 5.
Prediction: PHILLIES in FIVE
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

If we can take at least one here will be great. Hell, I can easily see us taking both as well as long as Brett doesn't spaz out and keeps pitching the way he has.
