Sorry, I should have said "Tampa Bay" sports. With the Bucs in Tampa and the Rays in St. Pete.
If the Rays move to the proposed new ballpark in Tampa will you be very disappointed? Not to worry now, looks like it won't happen for a while. Other than the idea the new park is supposed to be beautiful I have no preference on the Rays moving. I do live much closer to Tampa than St. Pete but don't go to games.

I think the Phillies will wrap it up tonight. I am happy for them. To do that in their home stadium is great.

Well, they came close. I don't think they should have played the 6th inning at all. Wouldn't it make sense if the Commissioner just halted play until it could be resumed under better conditions? I mean, this is for all the marbles, doncha think special allowances could be made? Either suspend it at the end of 5, and pick it up the next day or just call it a non-game and start from scratch.

well now we know they shouldn't have started the game at the start time ... the announcers said it limited the rays speed on the basepaths but also allowed them to score ... the pitchers couldn't grip the ball to even attempt a curveball or specialty pitch ... doesn't seem like how one would want the world series played ... as soon as rollins had trouble with that fly in the 4th, should have been enough to call it a night ...

[rant]They don't need instant replay at all. What they need is someone with the guts to lay it on the line for the umpires once and for all. They need to be told they aren't the stars of the game and never will be. They signed up for what is supposed an invisible supporting role and that's what they should accept. There's a set strike zone, and a set of rules that served very well for a hundred and fifty years. Learn them, enforce them, and leave your personality and visions of fame at home. You wanna be famous? Go to Hollywood or learn how to play the game at a level that warrants fame. Otherwise, shutup and do the job you're being paid to do.[/rant]

agree about showboating umpires and there may be a set strike zone but i don't know when the last time it was called properly ... there have been lots of blown calls going both directions ... oh well

Phiillies won the three day World Series game. Congrats.
No jokes about Philly fans tonight (a few bad aples comes to mind). They get the spoils.

windows were smashed at a bank and luggage store in the downtown shopping district ...
cars overturned ...
dozens of huge streetside planters flipped over ...
bus shelters damaged or destroyed ...
traffic signal pole was taken down and fans were setting off firecrackers ...
Fans also set small fires and smashed beer bottles. One group set a dumpster on fire and surrounded the noxious-smelling blaze ...
surrounded a KYW-TV van while a reporter was doing a live shot, breaking its windows and rocking the vehicle but luckily the police were nearby ...
trail of broken bottles, overturned garbage bins and piles of other trash on the streets ...

As long as they don't torch the city, I could symphatize considering the Phillies haven't won a WS since the tail end of the Jimmy Carter days, as well as the first championship of ANY sort since Dr. J and the Sixers 25 years ago.
Ah, what Mitch Williams must feel like right now.

Yeah, there are some downright stupid people in this city. Ramsey's got his work cut out for him. The crime got way out of hand while John Street was mayor and his commissioner seemed pretty lax. Ramsey was appointed by the current Mayor Michael Nutter who is fantastic. Ramsey had a reputation of being no nonsense as a commissioner in DC. That statement by him above however, was just stupid. Mayor Nutter had the best line however, "You Can Be Joyous; You Cannot Be A Jackass"

MANY blown calls--they need to use replays for about everything--except strikes & balls. (I'll get some opposition here). Nite
