Best of Luck...from a Rays Fan...

PrintI'll come clean--I'm a huge Rays fan, so I'll make no bones about the outcome I'd like to see. That said, this Game 5 here is pretty much what baseball is all about, and I'll be glued to the TV like the rest of you, ignoring my wife, looking for the right seating position and pre-inning rituals that will ensure success. But you've got quite a group there... Between Young, Hamilton, Vlad, etc...quite a team, a lot to fear, a lot to respect. And of course Lee.
As confident I am about Price in particular, and the Rays in general--and there's no team that can mix and match like them (essentially a half dozen or more players can almost interchangeably play SS, 2B and RF)--it's all going to come down to a break here or there... But no one can question the resolve of either guy on the mound. A classic.
I know the Rangers history and importance of winning a series as a starting point for taking it to another level. And of course I know the Rays (short) history, and the unbelievable way Maddon et al have turned around a decomposing franchise in just a few years. There's a lot on the table for both sides...we all get that.
So here's wishing you all the best... But go Rays...
And--oh yeah--we can all agree that the Yankees ought to be burned at the stake. One by one. One of these teams will get the chance...

To your last point...
Replace Yankees with Rays, and it still works.
Today is not the day for this.

Nothing personal, but
I wish you nothing but misery tonight. Wailing and gnashing of teeth to you.
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.

You can put him in line with the rest of the Yanks….

Rays fans feel the same way about Kinsler after his comments before game 3
Price, Garza, Davis, Price, Garza
Everyone hates Kinsler, we're used to it.

I love that that phrase
is always proceeded by something not respectful

Probably rates up there with the best first posts of all time.
Congratulations.

That guy was good.
This one is still my favorite though.
Yellow Shirt Nick is the dude that tackled the kid into the railing and made him cry going for a ball on Green’s Hill. It’s probably not as good as it was at the time, but his timing and setup was perfect. Everyone was just ripping that guy a new asshole, he was on ESPN, Knox was giving him shit, etc…

With as shitty as the Rays have been acting...
….bad fucking timing, bro. I wish you and the Rays terrible luck and 50 years of shittiness.
I'll come clean with you--
—We hate the fucking Rays and everyone from California except the Rangers fans that live out there. In a few years after you get your AARP card you can move to Tampa and fit right in with the rest of the bleu hairs.

No, we hate some of the Rangers fans in Cali too
Remember that LSJ is a Cali resident.

Too late, pal.
I shall make no more predictions, as they will invariably be wrong.
Say that the Rays will lose, then.

The Rays will fucking lose the ALDS.
I guarantee it.
DIAF douche
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
by Texas Jihad on Oct 13, 2010 12:10 AM CDT up reply actions
So the worst night in Rays history was an early regular season road loss to a non-divisional team?
I’d have figured it was losing three one-run games in the World Series. Go figure.

Just went over to D Rays Bay, and some moron over there was talking shit about how the Rangers were an “87 win” team, and how that was embarrassing.
Embarrassing is having to put a tarp in your stadium to cover up empty seats......
FOR A PLAYOFF GAME!!!

Baseball is a funny thing...
I bet those are the same people who were saying it was over after the first two games.
I want our boys to pummel the Rays as badly as any Rangers fan
But let’s take it easy on this dude; he seems nice.
"By MLB.TV, we can see J. Hamilton's homer, M. Young's clutch, and N. Feliz's explosive. All about Rangers things can be our interest"
--South Korean Rangers fan
lol, I'm inclined to agree; the Hive Mind got to buzzing and everyone brought their stingers out.
I just don’t see what the point of this post was. Was it an olive branch? Was it analysis? What point did he have that he so wanted to get across that he was willing to open himself up to such a barrage of venom? Surely he knew that this reaction was not just possible, but probable (especially if you’ve visited the Angrydome before). Just not a choice I would’ve made. Anyway, it’s all fair game today. Tomorrow, he’s more than welcome to come back and talk baseball, but today, this is enemy territory.

I don't care if he's Ghandi.
He roots for those cocksuckers that classlessly mocked our fans the other night. He is the enemy. Pears on his entire family.

I don't think it's hive mind/mob mentality...
….so much as it’s that the Rays’ players have been acting like little bitches the last couple of days and it’s seriously pissed us off. Like I said, it was just bad timing by this dude.
