Good for you. The Rays need somebody to pull for them, since it seems obvious nobody in Tampa gives much of a damn.

I figure it follows the sames rules as driving in Boston. IF you can cut me off, then you deserve to be in front of me (good luck with that)... and if you can't then you deserve to stay behind

Red Sox put on the emergency flashers and drove in the granny lane for a month, so I've got no hard feelings for the Rays shooting past, and wish em the best in sending the Yankees home for vacation a few days early

Francis, you are the oddest Red Sox fan I've ever encountered, in a good way. Boston is notorious for being single-minded in its sports fandom; if their team is not in it, they don't care. A national game that will draw a 10-share in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Seattle will pull in a 3 up there. Only Southern Cal rivals them in this, and that's more because people in LA don't give a crap about any of it.

Which was my point regarding the Rays. Both Michael Kay and John Sterling, the TV and radio voices of the Yankees, noted that the only BAD thing about that last night of baseball was the fact that only 28,000 fans showed up in Tampa to watch their team fight for the playoffs. They called it a disgrace, and went so far as to avow the town does not deserve a team at all.

Say what you will, Fenway is packed every game.

Well, you'd know better than me, brother. And FYI, I'm sure it's no surprise that Yankee Stadium has more than its fair share of drunken @$$holes in the seats also. But the wave was never big there, and they're waiting around to sing "New York, New York" . . . if they're still conscious.

The pink hats allow us to afford the second highest payroll in baseball.

And were did that get the Sox,third place in the East.
Boston 160 million payroll

A bunch of fat cats that want to hang around the club house drinking, and ***** about everything

Watch the dirt that comes out in the next few weeks?

Should have added the Colts in here instead of the Hindenberg.

hahah, well erm, thanks. Tho I will admit I am somewhat regionally focused when it comes to my sports affiliations. Were the Yankees not involved (an enemy remaining to be slain), I would probably be a little more apathetic about the games. But given that I don't really have access to watch them, that also serves to dull my interest

But you are right about the stadium being packed. unfortunately that means that its been years since I've actually gone to a game in person, because it's become too !$#@!^#@$&)@#$^ expensive. Long as the place is packed, they can keep hiking the prices

Really is a shame the Rays can't bring in more fans, even after their near miss a few years back in the world series. They're a good ball club and could probably do fun things if they had a bit more revenue.
