Rays 4, Twins 9
Record: 45-34
Attendance: 31,963
Stu Sternberg walked the press and politicians from two counties through his cockamamie plan for the Rays to play half their games in Tampa and half in Montreal. Yes, the Montreal that's 1,500 miles away in another country. He made a point that this was not a "staged exit," but he's lying about that. He also said that if his wishes are thwarted, he would indeed be taking his team and heading elsewhere, even if he has to wait till 2028.
But Stu's right. It is his team and he can do what he wants with it, but please Stu, make a clean break. Move the hell out ASAP so we don't have to watch any more of this sorry spectacle day after miserable day. Me, as of now I'm a Miami Marlins fan. I've been following them online and on tv for a year now. And they aren't moving anywhere, despite their worse attendance than the Rays'. Best, they are only 300 miles away, not 1500.
So this is my official resignation from this blog. The Rays and I are through, though I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Blake Snell sucked once again yesterday, giving up seven runs in three and a third innings. He is in free fall--and so are the Rays. Their season will get a little better, but all the promise of April has gone up in smoke.
Lots of luck boys, and adios.
