Avilan may not even go to the DL. Which is AWESOME. However, I can't get past him acting like he Ken Griffey-d Jr his hammy. Kind of vaggy, IMO.

The Tampa Bay Rays Attendance Problem | Ballpark E-Guides

First is the venue. Tropicana Field is not the best place to see a ballgame. It’s indoors, concrete, has artificial turf and just generally has a sterile feel to it. The Trop is the last non-retractable dome in baseball, and it’s one of only two with plastic turf (Rogers Centre in Toronto is the other). Florida is the Sunshine State…who wants to go where there is no sunshine, for a ballgame of all things?

Second is the location of the ballpark. The Trop is in St. Petersburg, a fairly good distance through heavy traffic from Tampa, where a good portion of the population center of the market is. Tampa residents do not particularly like the drive to the ballpark from what I’ve read, which can take a long time during rush hour…which, in theory, is when everyone would be going.

I was expecting that too. Maybe just maybe one day he will live up to the billing. I hope so.

The walks are encouraging the past 7 or so games.

He's got all the talent in the world and still young, on the bright side.

I remember watching the video of him taking BP back before we signed him and i was like, :eek:hmy:

More.

The popular opinion in the national media is that the fans of the Tampa Bay Rays just don't support their team. In my opinion, the majority of the people in the national media that make that claim don't understand the situation here in the Tampa Bay area. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them didn't realize that the Rays play in St. Petersburg, not Tampa. Most probably don't realize that Tropicana Field is not in the center of the greater Tampa Bay market and that out of all 30 teams in Major League Baseball, the Rays have the smallest population living within 30 miles of their stadium.

Gave a presentation on why the rays struggled with attendance in a sports marketing class during graduate school. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane NATI

I was (shockingly) not in a frat in college, but I dated a couple of sorority girls, and compared to what I saw of how the girls dealt with each other, any sorority girl who threatens to "c_nt punt" her sisters is someone whom I'd definitely want to meet.

I first heard it 20 years ago when I was living up in Missouri. Guy used it to refer to breaking up with a girl, accompanied it with a giant sweeping Ray Guy punting motion. I laughed so hard I hyperventilated.

3 new planets could host life - CNN.com

(CNN) -- In the midst of chaos here on Earth, scientists are finding hope for life on other planets.

Scientists announced Thursday the discovery of three planets that are some of the best candidates so far for habitable worlds outside our own solar system -- and they're very far away.

....


You won't be swimming on the planets anytime soon, though. The Kepler-62 star is 1,200 light-years away; Kepler-69 is 2,700 light-years away. A light-year, the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, is nearly 6 trillion miles.

This friggin universe is big. What they've identified (if by light) is technically 2,700 years old. Then you need 2,700 years of traveling the speed of light to get there. Star Wars aint even bout dat life.
