Tampa Bay

[Glen]

They're really good.

[axalar]

... I see what you did there. 

[Lou]

[Taylor]

[zenmaster]

Lowest team ERA I believe. 

[Angel Oracle]

They can move mountains, throw pitches in perfect spots, hit pitches all night, and run down drives that make Mike Trout proud.

but if no one actually sees them play, did the tree actually fall?

I think TB is the best team in East, even after the Yankees get healthy.

This series gives me the same feelings and thoughts when my doctor checks my prostate.

But can they see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Equal doses of excitement and shame?

Sure.

[Second Base]

The Angels are coming from as good place, having swept the Dodgers.  But does anyone else get the feeling that they're about to run into the Tampa Bay buzzsaw and get absolutely torched this series?

I'll be there on Saturday to watch our Halos at Tropicana Field.

Or a more accurate philosophical question would be:  if a ball traveled above the knees, between the letters, over the plate, and into the catcher's glove, would Angel Hernandez still call it a strike?

Make sure you buy a 50/50 ticket from the Booster Club.

Chuck, top of the 1st, right after the 1st out, yell "ANGELSWIN.COM"...we'll probably be able to hear you

You may get tired from chasing all of the foul balls.... You have to give them back though. Cost savings, you know.

Some persistent rumors about them moving to Montreal potentially. Ironic, since former Expo owner Jeffery Loria carpetbagged the franchise and ended up in Miami as part of the process. 

What's with the Florida market? Some good teams and high levels of success, but no commitment by owners to build their traditions and lukewarm fan apathy.

Main issue the stadium looks empty from the outside. There is no banners, paint on it, Rays Colors or anything distinguishing a team even plays in it.Street Marketing banners like down Katella and St College....NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH. If you drove by it, you would think it was an abandoned Missle Silo relic from the Cold War ERA. 

It looks like their ownership is trying to run off any potential fans so they can break their lease and move~

Makes me think that Tropicana paid $19.95 for the naming rights.

we were 1-6 vs. the Rays last year and we sucked against teams over .500.
