Well in case you’ve been locked in a closet and hadn’t heard let me tell you, our hometown Tampa Bay Rays are in first place! Well tied for first actually but in first none the less. I know it’s early and I know I’m not supposed to get overly excited about it this early but c’mon! I’ve been a fan since Wilson Alvarez and Juan Guzman! I’ve had to watch Ben Grieve and Vinny Cashstealer! I’ve earned this and so have you. Sound off and let ‘em know you’re excited too. What a great week it’s been and hopefully they can ride this momentum for a while and give us all a chance to prove this is a baseball town. I will post the standings just for fun, look and be in awe.
