Rays sign Manny and Damon!!!!!

I hated the old ownership and was not a season ticket holder. After we let Crawford, Soriano, and Garza go. I said I will not renew next year unless they do something. And I think these two moves are great. Even if they do not work the ownership is at least willing to take a chance on what can pay huge benefits and if it doesn't work it didn't set us back 10yrs(Vinny Castilla). And I knew my money comment would rile up someone, just thought I would here it from a Red Sox fan first. I loved the Steinbrenner and as much as I would like to see a cap and a floor in baseball as long as there is not, I honestly have no problem with the big teams spending.

Salary cap? In baseball? Not happening any time soon, especially with the Rays finishing first in the toughest division in baseball two times in the last three seasons with a WS appearance to boot. You have nothing to complain about Coach Deg, even with the hits they took this off season the Rays are still money. They still have the best rotation in the division, still have a good offense, really its just the bullpen that needs work and I could see them hanging tough again this year.
