When did the Rays sign J.J. from Good Times?The Tampa Bay Rays (neé Devil Rays) are the biggest question mark in the AL East. We know that Boston is going to do well. We know the Orioles are going to be terrible. We know the Yankees are going to seem unstoppable when the season starts, fall into, like, third place sometime in early June and make everybody freak out, the Steinbrenners are going to start threatening people, and they'll be fine and at the top of the division by the end of the year. We know the Blue Jays will exist (?). The Rays, though... who knows what the Rays are going to do.
Tonight's Dugout, which might be about the Blue Jays (I don't know), is after the jump.
I am not satisfied with being a song-and-dance man on this blog. I watch baseball, I understand it, I should be able to break down the intangibles and reference the OPS-pluses. So in preparation for tonight's post I opened up my Baseball Prospectus and studied my PECOTA, and when I couldn't think of any Watchmen parodies for the ALCS I decided to break it down into what the mascots were saying if they were arguing. Of course the mascots don't really talk, but they're supposed to be typing, so it's okay. And if you think too hard about our illogical typing/talking to each other in real life interface, just imagine that instead of talking they're saying these things through high-fives and elaborate pantomime.
