| Rays win their first series in Anaheim since 1999 on today's 4-3 win. Perfect game was just a fluke in an otherwise awesome roadtrip. 6-3 on the west coast, and against all those lefties? I'll take it. |

NEW YORK -- Pat Burrell has cleared waivers and is now a free agent, meaning he can sign with any team that wants him.
The Rays designated Burrell for assignment prior to Friday's game against the Mariners and Hank Blalock was selected from Triple-A Durham.
Burrell struggled at the plate both seasons with the Rays, and his average fell to .202 following an 0-for-4 performance at the plate Friday night against Seattle. The 34-year-old served primarily as the designated hitter against right-handed pitchers while working in a platoon with Willy Aybar, and he had not been particularly effective in that role, striking out 28 times in 84 at-bats while getting just 17 hits.
Good riddance. |

I watched a little of that game. The Rays are a well managed aggressive team with very good starting pitching. It was nice seeing them make the Yankees look bad.

They do look good. Tampa and NY will fight all summer for the AL East lead. Sorry, Boston. Then the wild card will all very likely come out of the east. Sorry, Boston. (heh, heh)
Now if Tampa can actually get fans to the game that root for them, and not the visitor.

| Quote: | ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays owner Stuart Sternberg wants to explore potential sites for a new ballpark throughout the Tampa Bay area, saying it's essential to the team's long-term success.
Sternberg reiterated his belief that downtown St. Petersburg, where Tropicana Field is situated, is not an optimal location for a stadium.
He did not rule out remaining in Pinellas County, but called Monday for regional talks that would include discussions about possible sites in neighboring Tampa and Hillsborough County.
The club's lease at Tropicana Field runs through 2027. Sternberg has said repeatedly that the Rays will not be playing in the domed stadium when that agreement expires.

2027 will be here before you know it.

| Quote: | When 12,446 fans showed up Monday night to see if the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays could clinch their second playoff berth in three years, Evan Longoria decided he'd seen enough empty seats -- and said something about it.
Longoria, who did not play in the Rays' 4-0 loss to Baltimore, spoke at length about the team's chronically low attendance, calling it "disheartening" and "embarrassing."
"We've been playing great baseball all year. Since I've been here in [2006], the fans have wanted a good baseball team. They've wanted to watch a contender," Longoria told reporters. "And for us to play good baseball for three years now, and for us to be in a spot to clinch again and go to the playoffs, we're all confused as to why it's only 15,000 to 20,000 in the building."
Monday's announced attendance was a little more than half of the 23,047 the team has averaged at home this season, despite battling neck-and-neck with the New York Yankees for the AL East lead and baseball's best record for most of the season.
Tropicana Field, the Rays' much-maligned domed stadium, holds 36,973 for baseball during the regular season. |

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays gave a full house little to cheer about.
Kevin Millwood allowed two hits over seven innings, Felix Pie hit a two-run triple and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Rays 2-0 before a capacity crowd of 36,973 on Wednesday night.
The Rays gave away 20,000 tickets for the regular-season home finale. Fans begin lining up outside the domed stadium several hours before gametime. The team said the allotment of free tickets was exhausted about 45 minutes before the first pitch.

First the fans didn't show up at Tropicana Field for the regular season - then the Rays failed to show up for games 1 and 2 of the ALDS vs. the Rangers.
