Bolts, Bucs, Storm all have had successful years here. Bolts suck now since our new owner decided to trade our best defensemen and just sign every free agent to loaded contracts and put everything on our goalies each night, expecting 40+ saves most of the time. The Buccaneers are at least a stable franchise, and semi-consistant over the last decade or so. I have to agree with Capo. This is the first year the Rays have actually posted a winning record. In my experience, if you string together two or three winning seasons in this area, the bandwagon fans who come at first typically stay on. Who expected them to draw a credible, consistant fan base night in and night out when it's an expansion team that has never even tasted winning? I remember a few years back with Lou here when we were sniffing .500 around the All-Star break. That actually got people to the games during that brief period. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

They haven't lived solely on the long ball, they steal bases, they sacrifice, they play small ball. The offensive style is built so that just about anything is open, and has been executed successfully all season. It's an entertaining style because they play the entirety of the game, and don't just attempt to score via a homer (see : White Sox).
Go Rays. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Huh. Thanks russ, didn't know that.
 I watched the team all season, I didn't think they sacrificed that little. Ah well, just re-affirming my point that the team uses various ways to score, and I believe it to be pretty entertaining. Dope, I understand your stance towards the fan-base here in the bay area. Mostly bandwagon jumpers. There are some fans who have supported the team for the long-haul, and it's nice to finally get there due after almost a decade of suffering with little to hang your hat on. It was hard to support the team in the face of all the losing, going to games in and of itself is a pain in the ass. The stadium is in a bad area to begin with, not to mention hard to get to. I can't wait until the new stadium is built. It will be nice to get out of the Trop and into an outdoor field. I only get to those for spring training. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
