They didn’t need a new stadium that nobody wanted to pay for. The name change was just addressed by Matt Silverman. No Devil, just Rays.

You know, the Red Sox looked tired the last few innings. The Rays were intense. That being said, I don’t know much about baseball.

But do give Boston their due, tired or not, they did not want to go quiet into the night and going the full 7 games made it more exciting to watch.

Big night in Tampa Bay area. Full stadium at Ray Jay in Tampa for the Bucs game and full house at the Trop in St. Petersburg for Rays win.

I love The Boston Pops. The big dig, not so much.

Agreed, I am a now happy, though prior, long suffering Sox Fan...but the Rays flat out played great this year.

I don’t have a crafted image. I am sincere to the bone.

Florida has the chance to win two World Series titles in this decade. FLORIDA, for cryin’ out loud!

And let’s not forget the Stanley Cup that the Tampa Bay Lightning won in 2004, and the Super Bowl that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won in 2003. (And I guess we can add the Miami Heat’s NBA title in 2006, and the Florida Gators’ NCAA basketball titles in 2006 and 2007...)

I bet Obama has a terrible rally tomorrow in Tampa. I’m sure he’ll compare his campaign to the Rays (except he’s such a girl).

I was flipping channels, plus I had the live action game play on mlb.com on the computer monitor. I was sure it was over when the bases were loaded and they put Price in but he pulled it off.

Garcia looked great, but he wasn’t battling much of a defense.

We live pretty close to downtown St. Pete and I haven’t heard any horns. I guess everybody’s still downtown partying. When the Bucs won the playoffs and Super Bowl we heard horns for hours.
