I'll say the Yanks get 7 runs off of Seo on Saturday(before he gets yanked..forgive de pun.)The guy is just about as bad a starter as there is...FREESQUARE!!!

The Mighty Devil Rays. Until last year, I thought George owned them and he just kept them and their 5,000 fans in the league for a few guaranteed wins every year.

I am still bewildered by the trade Tampa made to get J Seo. "We are in search of Poo.Please send immediately."

As bad as the Devil Rays are, there are more than a couple teams in the NL who are just as bad, maybe worse.

I get a kick out of people dissing the Devil Rays and saying the Yankees and Red Sox have 19 free games a year against the Devil Rays.

Some of those cellar dwellers in the NL are every bit as pitiful.

Gander. I really don't think that's true. They are pretty sorry.I work for the Rays (ground crew). Not much to do in a dome 'cept listen to the players biyotch about how they don't want to be here. I think that since the ownership is very, very new and raw, they should get the benefit of the doubt.
Wth that said, they are attempting to get people in the seats. It's very difficult to do when you have too many options available in the area and you have yet to produce a winner.

Also, the move to get Dionner Navaro was not very productive. Seo happened to be the PTBNL....now. Hendrickson was the 2nd best pitcher the Rays had.
Why they got rid of him, we don't know.

You've never watched the Pirates play, eh? And the Nationals, save for this recent streak they have been on. Those teams are no harder to play for the Mets and Cardinals than the D Rays and Royals are for the Yankees and Sox.

The D Rays have actually given the Yankees fits over the years and recently took 3 of 4 from the Sox.

Funny that you mention those 2 teams. I have the digital cable package and follow the Nats as much as I can because I have a friend (Damian Jackson) on that team and the Pirates are one of my favorite teams.

You DO have a point about the Pirates., though. Talent wise. They try very hard but cant get over. As for Washington, I think that they are affraid of Frank Robinson....but you didnt hear that from me....

Yeah.... the Rays seem to have the Yanks' number at times.
