Jen Goldie is a diehard Toronto Blue Jays Fan….I’m a diehard Tampa Bay Rays fan! She put this post together last night and I want to give her kudos for doing that! Game 1 is only a few minutes away and it will be interesting to see what the outcome will be!
Because of COVID and a shortened baseball season, there are 8 teams in the wildcard series in both the American League and National League. Each pairing will have a 3 game series in the Wild Card Series starting today!
Click on the link below to see what Jen put together for this very exciting playoff game and our own little private rivalry! It’s all in good fun, but we each want our team to win! GO RAYS!!!
The Blue Jays! – The youngest bunch of players in the league. Got to where they are with grit and determination! They give it their all ALL THE TIME! (My team. The winning team) 😋 The Tampa Bay Rays – The best and number 1 team in the AL East. They know how to play […]
It’s a BIG DAY today! The First Game of a 3 game series!!!! Yes! It’s BASEBALL! —

That is usually the Rays and they started too as they got closer to clinching but they reeled it back in and won the division. Hoping they can hold on and beat the Blue Jays in the first round of playoffs. 🙂

I think there is a Villanova grad who is a high level exec with the Rays, so that gives me a reason to root for them!

Yay!!! They are leading 7-1 right now in game 2 but I’m still concerned. I’ve been a fan from the beginning. Since they were the Devil Rays. I lived in Tampa back then. We were Braves fans when my kids were little but when Tampa got a MLB team, that was it for me. 😊

That would be awesome if you came down for that. I’m sure you know I wrote a book on Clearwater??? Since there is only a couple of hours separating those cities, I would try to do them both. I say a couple of hours loosely depending on traffic.

I love that movie too. All-star cast! Last night was a bummer but Frank & I think the MLB commissioner told the umpire…close for the Astros, not close for the Rays. The strike zone last night was not equal for both sides. I think they needed to extend this playoff. Didn’t help that Kiermeier didn’t play. Today is a new day though! 🙂

I heard them talking about Umpires and strike zones. They said it might be a good idea to use electronic equipment to monitor the pitch instead of relying on a possibly biased Umpire. Why not everything else is.
The Rays WILL win. 💯🌟👍
