Tampa Bay won the first game of a four game set against the Marlins Monday by a score of 10-6, in what could be construed as a (relatively) poorly pitched outing — at least as it related to Jake Odorizzi and Josh Lueke. The Rays persevered though, thanks to Kelly Johnson who had a huge two-homer, six RBI, day at the plate.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Salvage A Game Against the Yankees, Welcome In That Other Team From Florida
Tampa Bay was able to salvage the third game of the three game set against the Bronx Bummers Sunday, following a seven run, seven hit Shellacking of Grimmace and the New York Yankees, handily winning by an 8-3 score.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rodney Blows Fifth Save of the Season, Rays Blow the Series
We here at X-Rays Spex headquarters are not afraid to call things as we see them. In fact, calling people out on their collective stuff (expletive deleted) is one of our tenets.

The Tampa Bay Rays are again sitting at .500 following a heart breaking 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees Saturday night. And with the loss went any hope of making up any ground against their AL East rivals… at least this time around.

The New York Yankees routed the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night, handing them their second consecutive loss, while leaving them just one game over .500. Simply put, Roberto Hernandez was horrible — Cesar Ramos wasn’t much better — while David Phelps choked the Rays offense, leaving a 9-4 loss in the wake. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Argyle: A Game Summary.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rodney Blows Another Save, Blue Jays Top the Rays
Put a fork in it, the Rays drop the series to the Blue Jays following a 4-3 loss to Toronto, Wednesday. The redundant culprits struck again; Fernando Rodney blew the save in the ninth, giving up the game tying home run to Jose Bautista, while Kyle Farnsworth — charged with getting the final out of the tenth — gave up an RBI base it to (you guessed it) Jose Bautista, plating Colby Rasmus.
