Summer 2011 has started, and school is out for the summer. I figured with my free time I could write about what I do day in and day out. Consisting mainly of my sports opinions and jam-packed with info about all sports. First, I need you all to know that I am in St.Petersburg right now. Just visiting family and beach-going, things of that nature. But I will still try to post daily. When I am back home in Wichita, Kansas I will be posting everyday, and no less than every other day. I will mainly post about the Rays (my Rays), but I will also give my opinion on interesting and popular sports topics.
Kicking things off, I am going to the Tampa Bay Rays game tomorrow against the skidding Florida Marlins. This game starts at 1:40 ET. So this is a normal, early Sunday game. The All-Star worthy James Shields (6-4, 2.60 ERA) will take on Chris Volstad (2-7, 6.07) who has lost 6 of his last 8 starts. Volstad has had an ERA over 5 in every start since April 18th. James Shields is coming off an outstanding performance in which he pitched a complete game shutout. He also pitched another shutout, earlier this year, against the Marlins.
And some unforunate news for Red Sox, Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford was placed on the 15-day DL today. This is his 1st trip to the disabled list since 2008. He strained his left hamstring which occured Friday night "while beating out an infield hit in the first inning" (ESPN). The open spot on the roster was filled by outfielder Josh Reddick. I'm surprise he was put on the DL, I figured it would be a week maybe. But, these can bother a player for a long time if it isn't completely healed.
Shifting over to a new sport, Golf. Where we head to the Congressional Country Club in . Bethedsa, Maryland, where Rory McIlroy has set 18-hole and 54-hole records at the US Open. His -14 score, leading the rest of the pack by 8 shots, has broken the record heading into Sunday. Hopefully McIlroy has learned from his nightmare of a mistake at the 2011 Master's.
Thanks for reading and I will be back tomorrow to talk more about the Master's and some more baseball.
