You know, not to change the subject slightly, but you talk about trades by the trade deadline. I get so upset when the media in particular seems as if they are almost persuading certain teams to make a move before the trade deadline, especially to the big market teams. Maybe that's just the way it is & I should stop whining about it, but it seems to me that the media is actually afraid (that's right, I said AFRAID) that the Rays actually have a shot at competing, atleast this season, for the AL East title. Don't laugh. They are good enough with a little luck. The media's darlings (the Red Sox & Yankees) who's pay rolls both well exceed 200 million dollars already are not battling out for the AL East atleast as of this point in the season & the main stream media can't stand it. They hate the fact that the Rays are the team competing for 1st place because it hurts ESPN's & FOX's television ratings. So what does the media do? They start trade rumors for the big market teams, particularly the Red Sox & Yankees because they want those 2 teams to be at the top of the AL East standings. Call it conspiracy theory or whatever, but I know I'm right. I know the Rays are a small market team & not "sexy" in most people's eyes, but I say the Rays need to throw the media a big shit burger & sign someone like Tiexiera, or Griffey Jr., or Bonds by the trade deadline, even if it just for the remainder of this season. Why not? Why not the Rays? Is there something wrong with that? Are the Rays not allowed to be good & compete? I'll call the media, ESPN, & FOX, a big ole' waaaaaaaaambulance because the little guy is so far screwing up the media's Red Sox & Yankees love affair & screwing up ESPN & FOX's television ratings because for once, it is the little guy, the team that always gets picked on, the Rays who are screwing up the media hype over the Red Sox & Yankees & I say good for the Rays & I say it is good for baseball. Go RAYS!
