The Devil Rays suffered their 11th consecutive loss last night as the Red Sox finished a sweep at Fenway with a 15-4 pounding in which the Sox put 13 runs on the board over the first three innings. Coco Crisp hit a first-inning grand slam, Mike Lowell had five hits and five RBIs, and Josh Beckett coasted to his 12th win as the Sawx kept their 12-game lead over Toronto and New York in the Al East.
The good news is that this is rock bottom for the D-Rays. It doesn't get much worse than Coco Crisp hitting a grand slam. The Rays would have to get relegated to the NL, then let a pitcher hit a grand slam for it to be worse. Hmmm… relegation to the NL: that sounds fair. But who to promote to the AL? Are there any good teams in the NL? The Padres? The Mets? Don't even say the Brewers.
Other MLB scores: Fatty C.C. Sabathia and his crooked hat gave up 7 runs as the Tigers jumped on the Indians 12-3, narrowing the gap in the AL Central and getting Justin Verlander his 10th win… goddam Angels can't even get swept. Stupid Kelvim Escobar has a stupid first name… The Cubs have a winning record. It doesn't make sense until you realize they did it by beating the Nats.

Alright Yankee fans. we have a team that is worse than us!!! WOO-HOO!!!! Plus we won a game yesterday, time to take a shot!!! CHEERS!!
Perhaps the Devil Rays should be relegated to little league.
Coco……Crisp…I simply cannot take him seriously.
As much as most people hate soccer, you kinda have to admit the idea of relegation is pretty sweet. I say we bring up the Toledo Mud-Hens and drop the D-Rays to AAA ball.
my little cousin plays catcher in machine pitch baseball, real young kids……he called time to the ump the other day to go to the mound to speak with the pitcher?
that being said, the devil rays should be playing on the same field as him
Don't even say the Brewers.
Ok, how about the Seattle Pilots?
Riveting.
How many days until football season?
Matt, I've been saying that about the Devil Rays for months now. At this rate, i think "Count Chocula" or "Boo Berry" could hit a grand salami vs. Tampa Bay.
@ TEXAS
Brady Quinn's down with the grand salami.
@wwsm
65 days until opening weekend
fucking julio lugo had 2 rbi. tampa might have the worst baseball team in america, but they still have one of the best strip joints ever: mons venus.
@ TEXAS: Julio lugo is worth about a box of Count Chocula right about now.
The Cubs got a winning record by beating more than just the Nationals! They've gotten some wins against the Reds, too. And the Pirates. And the White S… I'm not really helping my case here, am I?
@ Ghost: Dont sell the Count short. Rice Krispies at best.
Did you SEE that catch Coco made?
