8-20 nowRays would need to go 17-24 here on out to match Dan's 91-win call.Seems like a good call to me.

Obv 91 wins aint happening, but race is heating up. Coolstandings and BP both have it as a 66% Rays advantage on division. I am still pissed I had to give away my tix for next mondays game at fenway due to my knee surgery8-20 nowRays would need to go 17-24 here on out to match Dan's 91-win call.Seems like a good call to me.

BumpIn this history of message boards, I wonder if anyone has been more wrong on anything than you have been on the Rays since last year?

Capella, did you happen to catch Mike & Mike this morning? Greenie was ripping the Rays fans for only filling 32,000 seats last night at Tropicana Field. A couple of Tampa and St. Pete guys e-mailed in saying the Trop was too far from Tampa, and that the stadium is a dump with no parking and in and unsafe area. Greenie wasn't having it.
Am I mistaken, or isn't a new stadium coming? Where in the metro area will it be?

The new stadium has been shelved for at least a year. It is planned for the site of the Rays old spring training field, Al Lang Field, which is on the waterfront in St. Pete. There would be less parking there than at the Trop.

They're working supposedly on a new spot near the HoFra bridge...closer to Tampa and easier to get to for the Hillsborough County and Orlando people.

lol at bitter Yankee fans :rofl:Rays got the division, they certainly deserve it. Kudos to the team.Silver lining is that Sox can rest their guys, set the lineup...Frankly, to win the WS they would have had to travel to LA to beat the Angels one way or another, whether it is the ALDS or ALCS is sort of irrelevant.

It's not over yet, but it may be close after this weekend.
DougB - to answer your question, I don't worry about what people outside think about the team or the attendance. There's a lot of excuses why the team isn't better in attendance, but all I say is the Bucs have sold out every game since 1997 and the Bolts are top-10 in the NHL in attendance. The USF Bulls pulled 60k in Friday night. I have no doubts this team would draw great crowds if located in Tampa or closer to it, and I live 10 minutes from the dome.
Btw, 32 and 36k the past two nights.

In comparison, Fenway only holds 37K and change.Btw, 32 and 36k the past two nights.

No, they weren't. I was there both nights.But it's funny seeing you clinging to whatever you can at this point, seeing how consistently and amazingly wrong you've been about the Rays.And a lot of them were Sox fans.Btw, 32 and 36k the past two nights.

There weren't a lot of Sox fans at the game? I didn't say there were more Sox fans, I said there were a lot of Sox fans. How does Tampa draw when the Sox aren't in town? Are they still hitting the 30,000 mark?No, they weren't.

Yeah ... based on max capacity, I think Greenie was quite a bit off going after Rays' fans.Far, far more egregious was all those years in the 90s when the Braves won consistently and still couldn't sell out NLCS games.Trop holds 36In comparison, Fenway only holds 37K and change.Btw, 32 and 36k the past two nights.

Just mainly Wilked and Jefferson. They were particularly wrong. Over and over and mindnumbingly over again. I'd like to go back and find some of Jefferson's quotes about how the Rays will forever suck and their prospects will never pan out, but there's enough hilarity in here to keep me busy.

After a while, you'd think someone would realize they were being routed and just give up. There's fighting to the end when you have a chance to win and then there's trying to go Alamo when you have no shot. Congrats to the Rays. Enjoy the ride GB.
