The Mighty Mite

It’s summer in Florida, after 32 years in Florida you get used to it. Summer in Florida is way better than winter in Chicago.

The new owner wants a new stadium in the Tampa Channelside district near Amalie arena, the Rays would draw much better there than they do in St. Pete. The Lightning at Amalie are on a streak of over 500 straight sellouts. Most of the population of TB is centered in the Tampa area and northern suburbs, it’s a real trek for all those fans to get to St. Pete and the Trop. It’s also hard for fans who live east of the Bay itself as they have to drive way out of the way south and then back north to cross over on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

That’s true.

The ballpark has the same dimensions as Yankee Stadium.

Way to get to get those 2 runs back. Don’t stop now boys.

An unforced error.

it was against Baltimore.

Good 1-2-3 inning by Burke, he needed that with a high pitch count in the first 2 innings

All right Brooks!!!

Real feel right now in Port Charlotte is 109, don’t ever remember being that high, actual temp is 95.

It’s because of the afternoon showers, someone figured that most of the time they move out around 7ish. Funny thing here in Port Charlotte, we haven’t had a drop of rain the last 4 days, very unusual here in Florida during rainy season. .

Pretty sure it is because they were as bad in April of this year as they were last year and it's been a long climb just to get to .350.

That’s what I’m thinking.

35 wins in 100 games, .350 winning pct.

That’s for sure, can only hope for the best.

Not sure what to expect against the Rays, will the Sox continue to swing hot bats or will the Rays with better pitching shut us down. We usually attend a Sox-Rays game if there’s a day game in the mix, not so this year plus with the Rays playing in Tampa this year it makes the trip 30+ minutes longer, it’s very easy for us to get to the Trop but not so Steinbrenner Field.

How sweep it is, on to Tampa where things will be tougher but the Rays went into a funk after knocking on the door of first place, they’re fighting for a WC spot.

Vargas is doing well at first, I would try Sosa at 3B, I thought he did OK there last year.

Who wants this guy that he’s being showcased, put Baldwin out there damn it.

Gift run.

That was ugly.

I agree but Meidroth is better off at 2B but what to do with Sosa is the 64 Thousand Dollar question.

No cheap homers there.

Baldwin on the bench again, it has to be Getz not liking him.

I hope we get to see Baldwin out there everyday, seems like they’re playing games with him. Make Beni the regular DH and put Baldwin in LF and let him swim or sink.
