I'm In Trouble!

The Tampa Bay Rays found out I was still sometimes using the name "Devil."
They've asked me to stop. I'll be sending in a $10 fine.

That is absolutely hysterical. Well done.

Well you should be very scared of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization. The Devil Rays certainly know how to find you, and you don't want to be on the wrong side of the Devil Rays or you may be swimming with the fishes, courtesy of the Devil Rays.

I wonder how many rays' prospects you can get with that kind of money?

Will the Devil Rays also be sending you $10 for continuing to insist that they play their games underwater, instead of using their proper town name of St. Petersburg?

I think there was a typo in that letter; shouldn't it be "hundreds" of fans instead of "thousands"?

I applaud the spirit of the letter and the $ going to a worthy cause. Too often organizations forget they can be charming or at least lighthearted.

Of course, I like the Bud Light swear jar better. If you haven't seen it, it's worth you-tubing it. The video is better than the beer.

I'm surprised that they didn't write you a letter to thank you for writing about the Rays.

I wonder what's the fine for calling them the Crappy Rays, as I've been calling them for years?

How about the Suck Rays? Why not the St Louis Browns? That's how much you team sucks. If MLB wants to contract, this is the team to start with.

That explains why they keep finishing in last place..

I'll get around to the "Rays" name change as soon as I can figure out how to say "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" with a straight face.

Not sure of others in Tampa organization, but if you ever meet up with or deal with their "Since Day 1"
PR Director, Rick Vaughn, you;ll be dealing with the finest, just a class act A to Z.

I wonder if "Fightin' Seaweed" is still acceptable...

Always nice to see a MLB organization with a sense of humor! And rare!
