The 2008 Devil Rays remind me of:
The 2008 Devil Rays are really starting to remind me of the World Champion 1990 Cincy Reds. These boys definately play with a cockiness and an attitude. Most importantly they will not be intimidated by the "old guard". A nice mix of youth and veterans, excellent starting pitching, and a bullpen that doesnt back down to anyone. Lets not forget, they can "mash"! Too bad Percival is hurt, it would have been fun watching him on the mound in tight games. They have sold me......Lets go Rays!

hal morris and paul o'neil punting balls into the infield from right field...
that A's team was so mythical with mac and canseco... maybe the first team to start juicing in mass in mlb way before we knew it was a problem.. weiss, lansford, steinback, all this short stubby dudes with huge forearms... and we didn't question a thingComment -

right on man. This was my era. I remember them as rookies, now there long gone.Originally posted by Chi_archie
How about that barehanded catch.
Paul O'niel. How many championships did he win? I know NYY never won one after he left.
I used to love the Pirates too. Bobby Bonilla was my favorite. Jose Lind, Spanky Lavalliere, Bonds.
Its funny how you forget so many people until someone brings it up.bird bird da bird's da wordComment -

The rays/redsox alcs is going to be a very good series.Comment -

those were the days in baseball for this young man.. I didn't get to see williams, dimaggio, aaron, mays,...but i vividly remember strawberry, eric davis, wade boggs, don mattingly, and kirby fukkin puckett..Comment -

only a dude that learns how to hit curveballs from having his mom throw him wiffle ball curveballs as a youngsterComment -
wow this is great stuff.
I'm sure you still remember old ass Sid Bream circling the bases.
At one time I used to know every player on every team. Couldn't name one per team now.
I was glad that Bobby Bonilla and Leyland at least got to win the WS with Florida. This was towards the very end of my baseball interest(for lack of better word)bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
haunted by the memories of sid bream scoring on bond's weak ass throw after fransisco freaking cabrea's single...Comment
