Jokes for an Easter Sunday

Some one in the press box said it was like the Rays bit the ears off Johnny Cueto.

OK, that’s an Easter reference. Kids bite the ears off their chocolate bunnies, get it?

Moving on …

I asked Dave Haller of the Rays PR staff, who is sitting to my left, if he could look up when the last time the Rays scored five runs in the first inning of a spring training game.

“No,” he said.

I was kidding. I really don’t care.

Garza breezes through the first, getting Griffey to bounce out to short for the final out. Griffey’s bat shatters and the fans think that’s neat.
