Yesterday was like every other day for the last 18 years. Sharing. Laughs. Baseball. Fun. No way to know it was the last time. Sadness beyond words today. It always felt like we were actual brothers. Will miss him forever. Love to him and his family.

First trip to Chicago without Dave has been emotional. I walked around the city this morning to see some of Dave’s favorite places in his hometown. Then, upon coming to the ballpark, this was setup in our visiting radio booth. Thank you,

Memories come rushing back to October 17, 2020 - the last time we were in San Diego. The Rays won the AL pennant. It was so special. And now somehow it seems so much more precious.

Dave and I always did a fist bump right before 1st pitch of the season. Rest assured, Neil and I will carry that tradition forward today. Along with his legacy.
@RaysRadio

The Rays got Joey Wendle the same day the Yankees got Stanton. I remember hearing snide and sarcastic “comparisons”. But all I know is that Wendle drove in 3 runs tonight and played a large in role in the Rays tying up this World Series at 1-1. He is a classic Ray for all time.

On this date 9 yrs ago Evan Longoria and Dan Johnson combined for three of the biggest home runs in Rays history in Game 162. And tonight Tampa Bay also becomes home to the Stanley Cup. A date in TB sports history for all time. Way to go Bolts!And Let’s Go Rays!

I love
@MLBNetwork
. Watch it all day everyday. But it seemed presumptuous and disrespectful to the Rays when on April 10 they asked “when would Red Sox pass Rays” this season. Not “if” but “when”. I took a picture. And saved it for this day. Because the answer was...never!!

Baseball is simply the best. No other sport comes close to setting up and delivering moments like we experienced tonight. This game could be studied and analyzed for years. What a moment for the Rays. World Series tied 2-2. Game 5 Sunday. Thank you to the baseball gods.

For the Tampa Bay Rays to win the American League East will always be a tremendous accomplishment. Something to be enjoyed, appreciated, almost marveled at. To have won 3 in the last 13 seasons would’ve been a notion laughed at not so long ago. Enjoy the moment, Rays fans!!

When
@davewills34

Of course it’s early and anything is possible, but for MLB Network to put “when” will Red Sox pass Rays is more than a bit presumptuous. Boston is as many games behind Rays as Rays were behind Boston at this point a year ago. How bout some respect for Rays???

Just have to say this. And it’s no knock on any other centerfielder out there bc there are some terrific ones. But Kevin Kiermaier is the best defensive centerfielder in the game. Quite probably the best defensive centerfielder of his generation. That is all.

Rays fans - yes it is tough going from up 3-0 to a 3-3 tie. What a roller coaster! But if we were told before the series started that we’d have a chance to win in 7 games we’d be thrilled. We get to live through a Game 7 of the ALCS now. Appreciate the moment! 1st pitch 8:37.

The famous quote from Winston Churchill comes to mind. “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is the end of the beginning”. Seems fitting. The 2019 Rays gave us a season to remember. What a year. And here’s to many many more.

Now that there’s been a full day to think about Brosseau’s big moment, the thing I’m most impressed by is how he handled the situation from the moment he was thrown at to the moment he won the ALDS. Humble. Respectful. Classy. Above the fray. What an example he has set.

It was a real-life David slays Goliath moment. The undrafted player takes down the superstar. All within all the context of a storybook. It forever ranks in Rays lore alongside Evan’s and Dan Johnson’s classic HRs. And he handled it all with such class. Thank you Mike Brosseau.

Manta rays are known for jumping out of the water, but scientists aren't sure why they do this. It's thought this behavior could be linked to mating rituals, communication, or getting rid of parasites.

It’s not easy to hang with a player when he is going through a brutal slump. Especially in postseason. But that’s what Kevin Cash did and Brandon Lowe connected twice. Believing in your players when times are tough is a Rays hallmark. And now this World Series is tied 1-1.

Classy move by the Orioles to put “Congratulations Rays” on their scoreboard when the last out was made tonight. I always remember the Royals doing the same in KC when Rays clinched AL East in 2010. It shows reverence for the moment and respect for the achievement.

It’s about 162 & all that it carries. The winning streaks & the walkoffs. The slumps & the heartbreak. It will be there every day for us. Experience it all, Tampa Bay! Opening Day is here so get ready for the roller coaster! And maybe this is the year to hoist the trophy…

Even though it stinks losing the World Series, I just can’t be too sad right now. Sure it’s disappointing, but there were times it truly looked like we weren’t ever going to have a season this year. And the thrills this team gave us will last a lifetime. So proud of the 2020 Rays

That is so cool. I can remember in the early years wondering what things might be like when the Rays franchise got old enough for the young fans to become grown ups. And to see some of them become actual Rays players. To hear Zach say this is really exciting.

No Rays game today. For a baseball broadcaster having a Friday night off in the summer is quite rare. My wife and I figured out that we’ve never had a summer Friday off at home! I haven’t had one since 1993. Really enjoying the day with my family. Marlins at Rays starts Saturday.

Here’s the way I’m looking at it, Rays fans: The AL East standings don’t lie. There’s a reason this team won 100 gms. And they’ve certainly won 2 in a row more often than lost 3 in a row. Win 1 today and the whole thing changes. Pregame 6:30. 1st pitch 7:07.

There are people suffering in silence in every clubhouse.
There is a special ignorance in sports on this topic. Every person in MLB has at some point played with a homosexual teammate. They have all cheered for their success on the field. They have all felt their pain when they struggled. They just didn’t know that player was LGBTQ.
