He's starting at DH and batting 5th in today's "road" game against Baltimore, in Tampa.

Never thought we would see two Privateers in the bigs at the same time again. Congratulations Joey, you have earned this!!!

That's awesome! Great to see two Privateers in the big leagues at the same time.

Feels...well...normal.

Tampa is coming to DC for a two-game series in mid-June. If he's still up, I'll have to head to the ballpark one of those nights.

I think that Joey was brought up to replace Desmond Jennings, who's on the 10 day disabled list with a knee injury. It will be interesting to see what they do with Joey when Jennings returns. I hope he can stick.

Here is Joey's first big league homer, a liner over The Wall in Fenway. Pretty freakin cool. http://www.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=101223783

And his postgame interview on Rays TV http://www.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=101607483

And here's Joey's two-run single from tonight. http://www.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=104097383

He's made a pretty strong impact in his first few games with Tampa. Hope he sticks when Jennings comes back.

Good night for Joey. The Rays beat the Yankees 3-2. Joey was 2 for 3 and had the winning hit.

Here's the screamer that Joey mashed to put the Rays ahead 3-2 in the second inning. That was the final score, so another game-winning RBI for a Privateer. Credit to the Yanks for trying to field this bullet. Those guys have families to think about.

Good night for Joey. 3 for 4 with a double and two singles. He also was hit by a pitch and scored the tying run in the bottom of the ninth. Joey's now hitting over .300.

And Joey has followed Johnny's homer with one of his own. Both Privateers have homered in the same game. Unreal.
