In a serious case of sour grapes, Tampa Bay catcher Dioner Navarro went home against the team's wishes after being told he wasn't going to be on the roster for the first round of the playoffs, according to the St. Petersburg Times. The Rays wanted Navarro to stay with the team and work out in case he's needed due to injury. Five other players not on the roster are with the team.

Navarro, an All-Star just two years ago, already appeared to be on the outs with the Rays after batting just .194 and spending much of the season at Triple-A. The Rays appear to be set at catcher with John Jaso and Kelly Shoppach.

But even if his Tampa Bay tenure is over, he wants to go out on that note rather than experience the playoffs with his teammates? Weak.

Thanks for the link....

What a great team player Navarro is being!!!

Rays have found their bats again. Leading 5 to 1 in the sixth inning of Game 4.

Barring a Rangers come back...

Looks like Cliff Lee will be pitching Game 5!

Sorry Ranger Fans.....

Series tied 2-2

Good to see Longo get his bat going

Hamilton has almost been nonexistent

wow what a series. this and the yanks series shows how much home field matters. Lee-Price will be a sweet game 5.

It ought to be good. Lee vs Price. I dont like our odds beating price twice, but Lee has been great in the post season.

anybody else think the tbs dbags are a little biased?

For which team?

I hate when the announcers show favoritism towards one team......

I just wish the umpires would get their act together and quit screwing up calls.

Like the stolen base in Game 1 of the Braves @ Giants. He was clearly out but went on to the score the only run of the game. Braves lost 1- 0.

they have the typical east coast bias. The rays need to change their name to the tampons because there a bunch of crybabies. The announcer never pass up a chance to bash the rangers, and praise the rays. None of the missed calls have effected the outcome of any of our games thankfully

I agree with you there..... They seem to whine about every called strike or close play..... That almost makes me wish they would lose.....Nothing to be proud of....

If I were playing on the Rays, I would be quite worried about Game 5 facing Mr. Lee.....

If the Rangers start to hit again, it will be a long flight home for the Rays....

The were also mocking our fans which didnt sit well. Home Lee's first pitch sets a tone in somebody's ear on tuesday. I was at both games and it was a blast. Hope the bats come alive. Either way its going to be one heck of game i bet.
