Tampa Bay Rays Retrospective
"I thought it was an all-encompassing type of suck" That quote from Rays closer Pete Fairbanks is from last season, but I think it fits well with how this season turned out. I had high hopes for this team. This team was considerably stronger on paper than last year which topped out at 82 wins. They were projected to win the same amount this year, and I thought that was straight up laughable. With multiple starting pitchers coming back from injury, new off-season additions, and young players poised to break out, I thought they'd cruise past those projections. Well, it didn't quite turn out that way. The Rays closed out their season with a 13-4 drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays to finish with a 77-85 record. If you told me the Rays would have a worse record in 2025 compared to 2024, I would've said you were crazy, but here we are.

In defense of: Nina Cassady
Mike Logan, Lennie Briscoe, Ed Green, Robert Goren, these are a few detectives that are held in high regard by Law and Order fans across the board. Nina Cassady...is not one of them. Quite the opposite really, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who actually does like her.

In defense of: Saved by The Bell: The New Class
On September 11, 1993, Bayside High welcomed in a new set of students with the premiere of Saved by the Bell: The New Class. The spin-off lasted for 7 seasons and spanned 143 episodes, but despite outlasting the original by multiple seasons, it never received the same love as its predecessor. Most people seem to have forgotten about it, and the ones who do remember aren't exactly fond of it. I think the show is better than most people give it credit for and I'll explain why.

Bad Heart or Bad Husband? Florida v. Adam Kaufman
In November of 2007, Adam Kaufman called 911 and said that his wife Lina was unresponsive on their bathroom floor. By the time first responders arrived, there was little they could do and Lina had sadly passed away. At first, nothing significant came of it. Miami-Dade Medical Examiner Bruce Hyma conducted the autopsy, and listed her cause of death as "undetermined". That would all change 18 months later when Hyma changed the manner of death to "homicide". Adam was promptly arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder. He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.

Return of the Rays
It's no secret that last season was a letdown for the Rays. Riddled with injuries and inconsistent play, they finished with 80 wins and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018. With some key players returning from injury and a few new signings, the Rays hope to bounce back and return to the playoff picture. Can they pull it off? Let's take a closer look.

Tampa Bay Rays Retrospective
Well, another Rays season is officially in the books. For the first time since 2018, the Rays will not be playing in October. It was an up and down season. Some bright spots for sure, but they just couldn't string together enough wins to keep their season alive. Now all that's left to do is rest up and get ready for 2025.
