He was brought to the bigs to help the Rays get to the playoffs. Initially he pitched a few innings from the bullpen, and then he got a start.Come game one of the ALDS he's starting, in a notorious hitters ballpark, opposite CJ Wilson and the highest powered offense in MLB]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/matt-moore-shuts-out-texas-rangers-in-game-1-of-alds/feed/ 2 http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/baltimore-and-tampa-bay-did-boston-a-favor-by-eliminating-them/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/baltimore-and-tampa-bay-did-boston-a-favor-by-eliminating-them/#comments Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:28:20 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164858001 When the Red Sox are at their best they are grinding teams out. They rack up pitch counts, chase out starting pitchers, and hit timely hits. In the AL East teams have to be able to take a beating and the Sox just didn't look like the lion hearted, scrappy fighters we are used to seeing. They didn't even want to be in the ring. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/baltimore-and-tampa-bay-did-boston-a-favor-by-eliminating-them/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:11:16 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164857945 Last night the Yankees put a second rate reliever on the mound for this second start of his career against a red-hot Rays team that is chomping at the bit to overtake the Sox in the remaining two games of the season against a bunch of Yankee benchwarmers.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/feed/ 4 http://ftrsports.com/2011/05/avril-lavigne-has-a-dirty-whorish-little-mouth/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/05/avril-lavigne-has-a-dirty-whorish-little-mouth/#comments Tue, 31 May 2011 20:49:00 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164855124 Pop Star Avril Lavgne threw out the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Devil Rays game this weekend and then hit the stage for a post game concert. When her mic didn't work the crowd began to boo, as crowds tend to do when mic's don't work.

The batters looked like they were being asked to solve derivatives. He threw almost all strikes. He was moving inside and outside to all the corners while mixing his curve with his fastball and just confusing/running circles around the Rays. He actually laughed after striking out Carlos Pena for the third time in the night. The Rangers offense secured the game with base running, while Josh Hamilton continued to do nothing in the clean-up spot.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2010/10/rangers-run-away-with-alds-beat-rays-in-game-5/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2009/09/bj-swings-like-sissy-girl/ http://ftrsports.com/2009/09/bj-swings-like-sissy-girl/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:26:42 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164847648 BJ UPTON AND HIS GAY TOE TAP CAN"T CATCH UP TO FASTBALLS]]> http://ftrsports.com/2009/09/bj-swings-like-sissy-girl/feed/ 5 http://ftrsports.com/2009/08/angels-add-kazmir-to-bolster-starting-pitching/ http://ftrsports.com/2009/08/angels-add-kazmir-to-bolster-starting-pitching/#comments Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:25:20 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164847577 Scott Kazmir has  been an A.L.
