They play in the same division as the Yanks and Sox and will never be able to outspend either one. In that regard, the D-Rays may actually be worse off than the Buccos.<BR/><BR/>Mondesi, two wins against the worst team in the AL (before reverting to form tonight) did nothing to make me forget about the embarrassment that was last wknd.<BR/><BR/>I was very happy to learn that B-94 was finally put out of its misery some time ago. It was the worst radio station in the history of radio stations.

I was in Tampa for a week last summer, seemed like a somewhat sports-saavy city, given I saw front page coverage of Bucs training camp and the Rays-Yanks series was all over the local news.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176683892577678754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-13768528884427873782007-06-14T19:50:00.000-04:002007-06-14T19:50:00.000-04:00Brad, the fans here in Tampa aren't exactly "rabid...Brad, the fans here in Tampa aren't exactly "rabid/sports savvy" types, but if you give them something to cheer for they'll come out and support the teams a little.<BR/><BR/>... well... ok the Lightning and Buccaneers basically had to win championships to get a fanbase, but you get what I'm saying here.<BR/><BR/>It's much worse in Miami. The Marlins have won two World Series already, and not even that long ago. They're another young team on the rise, and despite all of this nobody there cares. I think the only games they sold out in 2003 were the World Series games!<BR/><BR/>So I think Miami is the worst place to play in the bigs. Tampa could be ok. If Tampa won something the Rays could get a decent fanbase, at least better than what the Marlins muster!!Louis Lipps is my homeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156545693381178335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-71905770356673083052007-06-14T19:15:00.000-04:002007-06-14T19:15:00.000-04:00And on the Buccos, well done Ian.

The Devil Rays need questionable character guys to keep folks interested, given they play in possibly the worst place to play in the bigs and have to compete with some of the nicest beaches in Fla.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176683892577678754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-30723638764388191512007-06-14T19:13:00.000-04:002007-06-14T19:13:00.000-04:00Louis, you are correct.

Just tell me how Pitt did in recruiting on national signing day. It's June right now lil buddy.<BR/><BR/>Onto something that's kind of relevant...<BR/><BR/>Anyways, the Pirates have been so bad that I've been checking out the American League equivalent to the Pirates lately, the Devil Rays (they're on TV where I live all the time).<BR/><BR/>They don't have a ton of fans, but people in Tampa seem to be very optimistic about them... in fact they have been since 1998.<BR/><BR/>The difference between Tampa and Pittsburgh: In Pittsburgh we know the team sucks and we admit we're screwed. In Tampa, they really keep thinking it's going to get better.<BR/><BR/>They've got some decent young hitters though. Too bad about everyone of them has horrible discipline problems.<BR/><BR/>Delmon Young - Hits minor league ump with bat.<BR/><BR/>Elijah Dukes - Beats his wife and threatens to kill her.<BR/><BR/>BJ Upton - Got arrested for something I forgot about.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the Rays are onto something though. Maybe, they've learned from the "U" down in Miami to not worry about personal flaws and just get guys that can play.Louis Lipps is my homeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156545693381178335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-21902074020248013812007-06-14T16:41:00.000-04:002007-06-14T16:41:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Louis Lipps is my homeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156545693381178335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-72286094281284281012007-06-14T15:37:00.000-04:002007-06-14T15:37:00.000-04:00Tuesday and Wednesday night's games were my first ...Tuesday and Wednesday night's games were my first at PNC, and it did not disappoint.
