Rays fans representing!!

[RedSoxRooter]

Where's Todd and Joe? I want recaps of what it was like at the Trop last night.

 

If everything goes as I expect tonight, we may never hear from Todd and Joe again.

[JoeMagrane]

Calm down guys.. here I am..everything will be ok...It was a very late night for myself and Todd, heh. First off I'd like to congratulate the Sox for a solid win. It was one hell of a pitching duel. Dice K was nasty. We had our chances and couldn't capitalize. Secondly, CBK sends his regards... Todd and I sat right next to him. I went up to him and mentioned his banning on this board and he started laughing. He said he'd be back, so beware. Oh btw.. did I mention... neither Todd or I are the CBK, so you all can relax. There will always be a few idiots on here who still think we are, but whatever. How did the game look on TV? The Trop was packed...there were very few Sox fans in our section. It looked like from our vantage point most of them were on the 3rd base side. We had 2 or 3 fights in the section to the right of us, punches thrown etc... everyone was escorted out. Overall it was a GREAT time. We started tailgating at about 4pm. Good times had by all. Lets do it again tonight!!!!

The crowd seemed okay. I mean obviously it was sold out but it didn't seem that loud.

the crowd can only get so excited over a pitching duel... it was VERY loud at times...if we could have gotten some damn runs across the plate we might have blown the roof off the Trop.

[Cocos Disciples]

Loudest cheer I heard was when you avoided the first playoff no hitter since 1956.

[Thumper]

Funny how they talked about there were less Sox fans last night at the Trop than during the regular season. I guess those Flrodia Red Sox "fans" realized they had they're own team finally.

um thank you captain obvious.... durrrrr

[RedSoxRooter]

Actually, on TV here, I thought it was loudest in the first inning after the K of Ellsbury. Then it just kind of wimpered out until the first hit. But that place was rockin after Ells struck out.

[SoXFoX50oX]

wait till they come to fenway, its gona be serious here

[JoeMagrane]

Wheres Todd??? hope he didn't die of alcohol poisoning...

[See Red]

It was never really all that loud -- or if it was, you couldn't tell just watching the game on TV.

 

What was the percentage of Red Sox fans there, if you had to guess? There was a lot of red, it seemed, and it sounded like a good number during the pregame introductions, and all the "YOOOOOUK!" chants sounded fairly loud, especially when he caught that popup in the 9th.

[JoeMagrane]

there weren't many Sox fans out in the outfield at all....i saw 2 or 3 in my section, walking around pre game and post game there was the occasional grouping of them... percentage i would guess...5-10% maybe.. idk, hard to tell really....all in all there weren't that many....IMO

[TheKilo]

Such a Mickey Mouse franchise in a Mickey Mouse park.

[ORS]

I was pretty unimpressed by the Mickey Mouse fans last night, too. I watched Friday at a bar and had no sound, so I didn't get a chance to observe this in game 1. I've never seen a ballpark look so disinterested and quiet when the home team pitcher has two strikes on a guy with runners on in extra innings ..... in the playoffs. Nothing more than a polite golf clap.

[Cocos Disciples]

They're still a bit confused about this whole winning thing.

[ToddKalas]

Bump!

 

Why'd you all get rid of my buddy?

 

Hope you all get a good days rest. Wait... looks like the fans were doing plenty of that in the stands...

 

Oh well... take Wednesday to regroup, refocus, and plan on how you'll deal with another embarrassing home game*

 

Really though - was mighty unimpressed with the defending champs. And in a place that the Rays couldn't buy a win not too long ago. Maybe with the housing market looking so bad, the Rays are trying to capitalize on it. Your house is becoming our vacation-house.

Because he was a troll, and readily admitted it. When he started getting a bit more disrespectful, he was axed. What's to miss?

 

Besides, what can you do but tip the cap? The Rays are quite a talented team. Sometimes that's all you can do...tip the cap, move on. The Rays will be good for years to come with all of that young talent finally having gelled together.

[Mr Crunchy]

No shame in losing to these guys

they beat us in both series at the end of the season that mattered

backs against the wall and down against the best season pitcher in 2 generations facing a 2-0 deficit going to fenway and they buckled down and beat becks ass.

they beat up lester

they beat up byrd

they beat up wake

they beat up the ushers.

 

nothing bad to say about this club from tampa and lets hope they can draw more than 8000 a game next year unlike the marlins and give us and ny a run for the next few years before they move to san antonio...

was anyone really born in tampa?

Until they have to pay for it.

[ORS]

before they move to san antonio...

I hope this happens. It's not finalized yet, but my company is probably going to move me there for a project that completes in 2011. I'll still be able to see the Sox a couple of times a year if they do.

[Mr Crunchy]

i traveled thru there and its a quiet yet booming town

the river area or whatever the f*** its called is their main attraction but i didnt care for it.

it reminded me of fanuel hall with a texan flair and i pretty much find anything texan despicable,,full of s*** and cheesy,i think bush sold that part of texas back to the chicanos in the 90s.

the entire city is either mexican or part mexican which makes it a little more palatable than dallas...ever been to dallas??its full of texans who consider Hee Haw educational and make up for their small penises by driving big trucks.

[ORS]

No, haven't been to Dallas, and from the sound of things, I have no intention to once I move out there. Well, maybe I'll get over there one year for the Texas State Fair which looks like one big party.

[ORS]

Crunch, you still work for Caterpillar? Sales, right?
