November 11, 200718 yr QUOTE(max power @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 06:48 AM) If it were somewhere less urban like alabama or mississippi, I would say definitely, that's why it was done. No evangelical is going to support a team with devil in the name. But Florida? Meh, I dunno. Its still the south, I don't really know. yep... rays of sunlight... cool... but guys it makes sense cuz Florida's the sunshine state. get it? get it? man, looking at it that way how could you NOT like the name? Well done I say.
November 11, 200718 yr Maybe they'll all write letters now saying they won't support the pagan sun god?
November 11, 200718 yr I actually kinda like them. It's better than Arizona going from purple to red.

November 12, 200718 yr I think the bigger part of this article is this "And the following night, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported that the Rays are currently speaking with city leaders about the possibility of building a new stadium by the waterfront downtown. Considering Tropicana Field is widely regarded as one of the worst stadiums in the game, the possibility of a new stadium on the water, which could be a nice tool to attract new fans, is something that should make all baseball fans in the Tampa Bay area very happy." Getting an actual stadium would do wonders for them.
November 12, 200718 yr I really have to wonder if a new stadium is going to do anything for that franchise. Florida doesn't seem to care too much that they have baseball. The Marlins couldn't draw, even with their WS teams.
November 13, 200718 yr Wasn't there are Marlins game this last season that drew like 240 people or something? And they (the Marlins) want a new stadium too!

November 19, 200718 yr QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 07:12 AM) The Onion, on the story: Tampa Bay Devil Rays Change Name, Uniform, Sport The Tampa Bay Rays will play their first game of the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League season tomorrow night against their in-state expansion team rivals, the Miami Ice Dolphins. owned
