Let us know your thoughts and observations. Is Tampa considering a replacement for that stadium do you know? I would wonder since Miami is building a new one to keep the Marlins.

The Hawk usually talks about it when they're down there, I guess they have a good design and location in a better place, but still looking for funding... Cryptvill, that's about right?

Big series. Let's at least get a split. GO SOX!

 

Oh and GO HAWKS!!!

I don't think we, as Sox fans should be complaining about that stadium...if it weren't for former Governor Big Jim Thompson...it would be OUR stadium. Ick.

 

Oh...and GO SOX AND HAWKS!!!

Nieman got hit around last week by the O's. He tends to leave a 90 MPH Two-seamer high in the zone, which means we should do well, but he's also an inexperienced young pitch who we've never seen before, which means we should suck.

Yeah, I honestly don't know to much about it, but from what I saw about the possible new stadium : It looks amazing, to have a stadium like that would be awesome. 1. Itd be in the open air, I cant tell you how much I miss going to a normal baseball game outside a dome (MLB). I've been to a good 40-60 rays games over the years, and dome baseball is kool and all, but cant replace a good day.

 

The stadium was said to have like, a 'devil ray' aquarium built into it or something of that nature, man, it was just flat out amazing from what I remember.

 

I hope they get it going, but I think it has something to do with laws/funding.

 

EDIT: heading out nwo to catch white sox batting practice, peace all!

Owens has hit .286 against Nieman albeit in 7 ABs. I wonder if Ozzie will play him

 

 

 

Thome has faced him once and it did not stay in the park.

Can't even see the game because it will be on CSN+, dadgummit.

Hopefully Getz is back, leading off. Put the CF of the day 9th, no matter who it is.

I was down there last year on a staff trip (since i work for the biscuits) and they told us everything is set but they need funding. They are trying to put it in a better location and instead of a dome that want a new kind of retractable roof. Super cool stuff if they get it approved. It had been approved, but once the economy turned bad they had to put it on hold.

REVENGE!!!

I hate dome games. Lets slay these dragons of the sea!!!

Getz 2B

Fields 3B

Quentin LF

Thome DH

Dye RF

Konerko 1B

Pierzynski C

Ramirez SS

Anderson CF

 

Danks P

 

It's funny, this is pretty much the exact lineup we were clamoring for at the end of spring.

It would be really nice if Getz could get a couple hits today to stop the panicking.

 

Anderson, ditto.

 

Singles are fine.

I like that lineup, Anderson's gotta do some damage tonight so we don't end up paying rowand 14 mil to support the team's energy level.

Big game tonight...probably the best match-up you can get against this Tampa team.

lets do this

I remember last year Ramirez broke out at Tampa Bay... lets hope that's the case again this year.

I do actually have to agree with Hawk on that Getz needs to get on top of the ball and get it on the ground so he can use his speed. Way too many pop ups and fly outs for him.

2 ks already lol

I see the Tampa fanbase is rocking again this year.
