Iapos;ll tell you what annoys the holy living crap out of me:
Honestly, are there 10,000 people in the United Goddamn States of America who can say that they were Rays fans before, oh, say, July? Are there 5,000? Actual fans, I mean? Of course, if you went down to "The Trop" last night and asked any random, "Rayhawk"-sporting moron with a shiny new Evan Longoria jersey and a 5950 with unbent brim whether or not they were a fan back when pitchers and catchers reported, theyapos;d say hell yes. Theyapos;d tell you theyapos;d been to a bunch of games over the years. What they wouldnapos;t tell you is that they were wearing Jeter jerseys when the Yankees were in town.
When the Tigers got good back in 2006 (seems forever ago now, donapos;t it?), we got accused of being bandwagoners, and I as much as anyone hated the chachi corporate types who got all the good seats by the end of that season, but compared to the Rays those assholes might as well have been there when we beat the Cubs back in apos;45. These Rays fans are people who donapos;t even have an ancestral interest in the team. Not a single granddad ever told a young Tampan (or whatever they call themselves) about the good apos;ol days. Nobody has given a shit less about this team since they were established. They play in a shitty park and they couldnapos;t give away tickets even back in May. Christ, as recently as the 18th of September during their last homestand, when they were in a dogfight with the Red Sox for the division, they only sold 17,000 tickets for a game a game against the Twins.
The Rays are everything thatapos;s wrong with baseball. Suck for 10 years. Get high draft picks long enough to get a great roster cheap. Win it all. Canapos;t re-sign your guys. They go where the money is. Suck for 10 more years.
At least it wasnapos;t the Sox or Yanks.
