You are dead on with your observation. I've been to Tropicana Field a whole bunch of times. I go to pretty much every Red Sox Rays game. I've also been to a whole bunch of other stadiums and quite frankly it doesn't feel like a ball game, at Tropicana Field. It feels like I'm watching baseball being played in my living room. The noise is weird the air-conditioning puts you to sleep and the stupid find the cow games distracts you from the actual action. The problem is they can't build a new stadium. It might help building it in Tampa but who is going to take that risk when they don't draw. There has to be a sign of significant gain in order for someone to take a financial risk like building 1 billion dollar stadium. Hell look at the Marlins. They have this nice beautiful new stadium and their 15th in attendance. A new stadium alone should move your attendance up drastically. Never mind the fact that the Marlins are actually doing pretty well this year. I say move the Rays somewhere else. The Florida experiment has failed.

Rays lost. The only thing that would make this day even better is if the Yankees lost too.

Yeah, I'm 1-0 in game threads!

That kid made me lol.

Sometimes I wonder what Bobby is thinking.

One more run for the Sox!

Sweeney may not have any power, but he can hit.

He's looked good.

Damn, he is closing in on 100 pitches in the 6th again. I thought he was going to further today.

It's like he hits a wall when he gets the far. I hope he can learn to work past that problem.

That's got to hurt.

Nice play Dustin!

That's what I am talking about. seven pitches to get out of that inning.

Salty!

Way to go Sweeney!

It's about time they got one.

Nice double by Sweeney! I like this guy. He is the king of doubles.

I don't get the hats.....Never mind. I see the coma print in the B.

I want to see Felix go deep into the game today. He hasn't really done that this year.

There we go!

I don't know how I feel about Nava leading off.

Good job Felix!

That's just nasty.
