Skip Caray, R. I. P.

The Skip Caray anecdote in this David O’Brien column from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution made me laugh embarrassingly loudly at my desk this afternoon, even after Craig Calcaterra of Shysterball warned his readers how good it was–and pointed out that it was most likely Chip Caray’s finest hour as well.

Enjoy, folks. And rest in peace, Skip.

Rays awesomeness watch: the numbers

With last night’s win over the Indians — their 67th win of the season — the Rays have won more games than they did all last season, when they went 66-96.

There are 50 games to go. The Rays’ magic number is 47.
