Oh, so now you're knocking the team because they make more money and decide to spend it on top-level players?

If you drive a Ford and your neighbor drives a Mercedez, the guy with the Mercedez would win in a race. Is it his fault he makes more money than you and can afford a better car?




edit: And money can't buy everything. The drafting of the Ray's over the past half-decade has been brilliant (thanks in large part to failure and thus higher draft picks). These guys SHOULD be paid more than they are, but they're too young to have much of a say in negotiations. Once they establish themselves further (1, 2 seasons from now) as the league's elite, the Rays will follow the tactics of another Florida franchise (Marlins) and let the greedy ones go. The Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, and Angels will pay for them, and the Rays will bring in new, younger players that they can work with.


Its not a bad strategy, really. The Marlins average 1 world series title every 7 or so years. Hell of a lot better than most teams.

and yet we raped you last night, suck that bitch

who was that directed towards?

To the OP.
And fuck you! it wasn't a "rape." ya they had a good comeback and we made some errors.

9-1 at Fenway? Rape.
13-4 at Fenway? Rape.

I love how the fucking sox fans leave when it's 7-0. Fucking douche bags.

those arent "sox fans". Those are corporations in boston willing to pay a shitload of money for the persona of "sox fans". The real fans hate those fuckers even more than you do.

And afgreed, game 5 was not a rape, but it really was something special, no matter who you're rooting for. If tonight can be anywhere close to as exciting a game, i will be effing thrilled

Well looks like it's on to game seven. We're fucking choking. And yes game 5 was a good game, albeit disappointing for me, but still I'm not saying the Sox suck. I still have the highest of hopes for my Rays, but whatever happens we still did really fucking good this year, and hopefully it's the turnaround point for this ball club.

That was a pretty exciting game........ cannot wait until game 7!!!!!

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss

so fucking excited!!!!!!
fuck your comeback!

sox are outta here!!! tampa bay wins 3-1!!!!

Way to go Garza!! Phillies here we come!!

god damn it Red Sox. :(:(:(:(

Hey, I give the Rays credit- They pulled it out. I can't be too mad at my Sox though, they made a hell of a series out of it...other than Coco's slide. COME ON! GET TO THE BASE!



LET'S-GO-PHIL-LIES!

My brother, my roommate and I all have "Ray-hawks" now. I hopefully ill be going to one of the games at the Trop. If I can't buy tickets, I'll have to use my connections(I worked for the Rays over summer and I know the VP of marketing ) I think I'd cum if I got to go.

My dad had tix to the game...lucky for him he got talked out of it last minute before booking his flight.

You have a ray-hawk? What are you, a 13 year old with a case of the downs?

agreed that was hilarious to watch
what a fucking way to support a team fucking bandwagoners

anyway the rays did what they needed to last night it is all good

agreed, the only fans that have the money to soundly invest in playoff tickets are bandwagoners. They love to tell people they're going to the game, then they get there and don't know what the fuck to do. "O wayte, s0 du I churr wen dey scurr?"

So are all the people that leave and boo the Sox("Sox" fans) bandwagoners? That's a serious question, I have no idea. There's so many fucking bandwagon fans around here, and when ever the boston fans come here they're all ass holes and that's why I have such a grudge against boston fans. But I have to admit, even though I have always like the Rays, being that theyre my hometeam, before they got good the Rays were just a venue to see your favorite team play, and most likely win.

No, I was exaggerating...to an extent.

Ticket prices have skyrocketed since '04, and your average Sox fan can't bring their whole family to the game. A lot of businessmen go and bring their clients as a way to "show" off their company, and care a lot more about the enjoyment of the game than the outcome of the game itself. Not that their is anything necessarily wrong with that, but I feel like there are more "deserving" fans out there.

The true Red Sox Nation...those of us who agree that the whole mantra of calling ourselves "Red Sox Nation" is gay...those of us who save up paychecks just to afford 2 tickets in the bleachers....those of us who remember that the Red Sox AREN'T supposed to win (they're SUPPOSED to break our hearts)...we're still alive and kicking. We've just been diluted by the big wigs in the city willing to drop a couple Benji's.

Yeah but so are yankee fans
i was in nyc a year before 9/11 and me and the old man went to a game
they lost and i swear i have never heard that kind of hate from any fan
spewing slurs and insults at the players fucking disgraceful if you ask me

if you love a team then fucking stand by them if not get bent and STFU

if you love a team then fucking stand by them if not get bent and STFU

this.

Bandwagon vs. non-Bandwagon = the stupidest fucking conversation that can be had about sports.

Is it though? I think it's gay when people claim to be fans of a team when they are doing good and only when that is the circumstance. Or all the douch-tards who are wearing NY hats who have no idea what the NY stands for.

The only relevant thing I've heard about bandwagon fans is what happened to the Golden State Warriors and some other teams. After they had some success in the playoffs a couple years back, people started to flock to the games and drive up ticket prices.
Other than that, it doesn't matter and it's all about angry sports fans that want to have a pissing match over something.

Relevant to the topic, what I hate is when I see these fucking Boston "fans" talknig shit about the fucking Rays, even when we have a good season. They're not even from Boston or anywhere near there and they feel so entitled. They come to my stadium and try to start shit and it just pisses me off. Out of all the visiting teams Boston fans are fucking horrible. Once again I'm not putting down all Boston fans just most of the ones I've come in contact with. Also the fans I mentioned earlier that I saw on t.v that would boo they're own fucking team, that's just fucking low.

Lol, yeah. A lot of Boston fans began "hating the Rays" this year...partially because the Rays were better, partially because the Yankees were irrelevant very quickly. The Rays are not our rival, and really never will be. We just play in the same division as you guys.

GO WHITE SOX!!! fuck all of u red sox fans

lol stfu. Go blow Ozzie Guillen to shut him up for a bit.

ozzie will never shut up, he gives the white sox a very distinct personality that many teams lack. it cheers me up somdays when after a loss, ozzie explodes and then sportscenter reports on it and almost every word is "explicit".

Don't you remember when tons of people here would boo the bucs?

I'm not a baseball fan, so I never got into the rays.

On my final note... having a rayhawk is pretty gay man.

it's not like i was keeping it, besides my work made me cut it off.

alright you set of pomerianian pipity jibs. i'm from rhode island, not boston, and basically i use to support what ever team had the hat/ jacket that would match the outfit. but seeing people from boston, whather it be the redsox, patriots, or celtics, i've never seen such a commited set of fans. i was on the streets of boston on canal street the night the celtics won the the championship and it consitsed of riot police, windows being smashed out and drunken debauchary. You can all go sit and pivot for all i care we're the smallest state and we know everyone, 08 fell through for the sox, but here comes '09 have a good night you wild dogs.

Where were those C's fans all these years the team was garbage?
