Conflicted
The Rays and the Red Sox are meeting here at Tropicana Field starting Friday night for the ALCS. Tickets sold out last week and upper deck nosebleed seats at the Trop are STARTING at $100 a piece. Not bad for a team no one in town cared about six months ago!
As a long time Red Soxs fan I'm conflicted. I'll root for my Sox, but it's great to see the hometown former cellar-dwellers of the AL East getting one step away from the big show.
There's been a lot of talk in town about bandwagon fans. But, in their defense, who wants to root for a team that's been in the basement for the last ten straight years?! Would you pay to go see that? The only time the Trop was packed was when the Rays played the Red Sox or the Yankees, who have ENORMOUS fan bases.
Go Sox !

I'm hoping the Mariners can take a lesson from the Rays. Man do they SUCK this year. Mostly I could care less about baseball. But you enjoy the series! ;)
Seriously, are you EVER going to blog again? Or did you move your blog and not tell me? ;)
We've missed your blogs. Saw that you were alive via another online source. Wanted to say congrats.
