    Rays announcing new St. Pete stadium

    https://www.mlb.com/rays/ballpark/historic-gas-plant Looks pretty good to me. Watched the Trop go up in the 80’s while I was in high school, and, 40 years later, the city will finally have a nice place to watch a game in time for me to retire back home.

    Rays announcing new St. Pete stadium

    I don’t know how attendance will pan out, but downtown St Pete is booming and Stu is going to make a fortune on this deal.

    Rays had it. Blew it twice. O’s have easier schedule, plus 2 extra games to play. They prob won the division today.

    Rays win 7-1 behind a gem from Eflin. All tied in the AL East. Got ourselves a good old fashioned title race.

    Rays 4 - O’s 3. Lead down to 1 game. Big weekend in Baltimore!

    O’s lose a 1 run game finally! Rays 2 back headed into a 4 game series in BAL. I wouldn’t say they haven’t missed Franco. They got a hot streak from Basabe at the beginning but it’s definitely created a big hole. Losing Siri isn’t great, either. The bullpen has been much, much better the last...

    If the O’s played the Padres right now, it might open a wormhole or something

    Jose Siri with a fractured hand after a HBP. Out at least 3 weeks, but playoffs in jeopardy. Tough one.

    CFB 2023 Week 2: Texas at Alabama

    UVA had a big pregame ceremony honoring the murdered players. Put their numbers on the stadium, unveiled monuments, etc. Very emotional. Players balling their eyes out. Seems almost cruel to expect everyone to turn off those emotions after effectively another memorial service and go play...

    BAL now 23-11 in 1 run games. 7 games over their pythag. I hate to say it, but they give me 2008 Rays vibes. Annoying.

    Rays 5-2 and have scored 61 runs since Wander Pipp went on vacation. Basabe on a 7 WAR pace, .846 OPS, 134 OPS+ , had a grand slam last night in the 9 run 8th inning outburst.

    '23 AL Playoff Picture

    After the disastrous 4-14 stretch in early July, Rays have righted the ship and are 14-9 since. Went 4-2 on west coast this week despite getting the news that they’ve lost a Cy Young caliber ace for 18 months to TJ and some other guy probably forever.
