DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 For what it's worth, there's a town near the Tampa/St. Pete area called "Tarpon Springs." What does that look like at first glance to you? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Having been one of the few to actually visit the Tropicana Dome last year (it is the most depressing place I've ever witnessed a professional sporting event) I can share that most of the items in the overpriced (even by MLB standards) mdse used only "Rays". They seemed to already be in the process of eliminating the Devil. I say go with Rays and change the color scheme. Rays works fine for me. Bring back the Whale!

VitaminD Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 "such as plans for a huge touch tank of live rays on the right-centerfield patio."Anyone see possible dangers in this? Imagine someone hitting a long driving hit that hit the sweet spot of the bat, and shattering the tank of the live rays, stinging any nearby spectators, with shards of glass flying. 1. I believe the patio is on the concourse, they are just saying right-center patio to give a sense of location.1. You do realize that they clip off the stinger on a stingray with a toenail clipper and the ray is unable to re-grow it. They'd probably use some form of shatterproof glass, too.... Spectators is a plural word. When are there multiple spectators at Rays' games (when the place isn't crawling with Yankee fans, I mean)? So one guy catches some stray glass. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin128 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It will be hilarious if they switch to "Rays" meaning sun and they keep playing in a dank dome on a puke green carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therocheapproach Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 How can they use "rays" as in "sun rays" when the team plays in a dome?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Move the team to the spring training site. Then you got something rolling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooter Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Move the team to the spring training site. Then you got something rolling.... They would probably play in front of a full house then.I'd go to more games then if they played at Al Lang/Florida Power Park.But, the best baseball venue in the whole Tampa Bay area, including Legends Field, is Bright House Field in Clearwater, home of the Phillies Spring Training and the A FSL Threshers.

You are very correct in this statement. I actually work for this stadium/team. I work in the box office selling tickets to Phillies Spring Training and Clearwater Threshers games.

My family used to live in Tampa, so I've seen a few Rays games. They've been calling themselves Rays in the Trop and the local media for a few years now. I think the last game I saw was in 2002, so they've been a little schizophrenic about their whole identity for a while now. Now only if anyone else actually cared about the franchise. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Is there any MLB rule keeping them from changing their name from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to St. Petersburg Whatevers? It seems like it'd be really good for the franchise to start over from scratch with new uniforms, new logos, and a new name. I can't think of a more hapless franchise in the last 20 years of MLB, including the unfortunate Montreal Expos. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
