A perfect game is always impressive, even more so against the team with the best record in Baseball... that Tampa Bay Rays. Oakland’s Braden Has Perfect Game Against RaysBTW, what's up with the "Rays" anyway. They used to be the "Devil Rays". I assume someone decided that was politically incorrect? So they dropped "Devil". Did they later add "Sun" to Rays? I've seen that a few times and didn't recall anything on it. |

It was also Barden's first ever complete MLB game. I guess its hard to top your first time.
Also if you are in the weepy mood read into the significance of it happening on mother's day for him (like every sportswriter is currently doing, expect a massive Rick Reilly column about it right about... now)

Kind of justifies him yelling at A-rod (which i agreed with). So much for 15 minutes

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now, but I have to admit I chuckled when I saw that Dallas' grandmother, who raised him after his mother died, told A-Rod to "stick it."

YEah, there was a movement about 3 or 4 years ago to get rid of the "Devil" part of the name. Some of the fans refuse to acknowledge, and still insist on calling them the Devil Rays. Even last year, some places were still selling Devil Rays shirts, but I think I read where some busybody had gotten an injunction to prevent sales of any such Devil Ray attire. |
