Look out for the Rays!


Note the empty seats in the background behind Carl Crawford, who busting it for home...

Are you one of the doubters that think the Tampa Bay Rays aren't for real? Well we have news for you, they are and for at least a couple years to come, even if they don't get their stadium issues straight. Check out their Triple-A club, the Durham Bulls. They are the defending champions of the International League, and they are leading the league with the best record again, going into tonight's play.

This even though former Bulls like Longoria, Price and Wade Davis are excelling with the big club. The Bulls are a mix of young stars, like speedster Desmond Jennings and wily vets like Dan Johnson. Throw in an all-time best name candidate like J. J. Furmaniak and they have an ace pitcher to keep your eye on at the next level, Jeremy Hellickson. He is a comin' on, and so are the Bulls and so will the Rays on into the foreseeable future.

It is too bad that they can't draw in St. Pete! Will they forced to move? They would surely like to at least relocate within the area.
