Thanks! It's funny how when NCAA 08 rolls around about 20 dynasties pop up!

I'll get a game in on Saturday, I hope. I think I may make some lineup changes as well when I get back.

Yeah, I said something to the mods about grouping the dynasties, but they must not want to. Good luck in your return. Glad to see you getting back into the baseball thing as well.

Okay, I just had one of the most exciting baseball games of my life! 14 shutout innings thrown by Tim Corcoran!

Grouping the dynaties would be cool. That way dynasties don't get pushed to the back so easily.

Wow man nice. I once had Kerry Wood on a season pitch 10 relief innings and he gave up 3 hits and 0 runs. We lost after he got tired and I brought in Will Ohman. lol. Nice chise. If you can check out my Cubs one. Really appreciate it if you could.

I might add an interview or something. I've had fun making recaps for my Middle Tennessee State dynasty, so I'll probably give it a try.

Yeah, I don't know how I did it. I couldn't hit worth anything, but Corcoran was just striking guys out and forcing ground balls. Maybe, it will give the Devil Rays some momentum. World Series here I come!!!!!!!

Game 31- OAK (14-14) @ TBD (11-19)

Rays Win!

Recap (St. Petersburg Times)- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays picked up their second win in a row against the Oakland Athletics. Jose Martin picked up his 2nd win of the year throwing an 8 inning no-hitter. Closer Dan Wheeler came in to shut the door and picked up his 3rd save of the year.

The offensive key to the game was the triples. The Rays picked up 3 of them. The 1st was a Carl Crawford triple into the gap in the 4th inning. DH Jonny Gomes hit a sacrifice fly to drive him in. Pete Rackers hit one in the 8th along with another Carl Crawford triple to give some assurance runs.

In other news, Rays 2nd baseman Jorge Cantu is expected to be back from the disabled list for tommorow's game. Cantu should add some spice to the Rays' struggling lineup.

Folks, this is not dead in any way. I am about to play a game. I've just been playing a lot of NCAA 08 lately.

Game 32- Oakland Athletics (14-15) @ Tampa Bay Devil Rays (12-19)

Game 32 of 162

Oakland Athletics (14-15) @ Tampa Bay Devil Rays (12-19)

Jorge CAntu returned to the lineup as the Devil Rays couldn't get any offense going and fall to the Oakland Athletics without even getting a hit. St. Louis starter J. Duchscherer pitched a brilliant game, going 9 innings and throwing a no-no. He fanned 10 and walked 1. The Devil Rays better regroup, because over the past 3 games they have just 15 hits (5 hits per game) and only 4 runs (1 1/3 runs per game).
