Yep, enjoy the playoff Rays-stache, the rally hat (Game 1 of the Series) and the guy picking his nose behind me. Not a flattering picture, but oh well. Baseball ain't always pretty. The 'stache might be gone, but the fire isn't. My passion for the Rays has grown with each year I've lived here, peaking with last year's amazing playoff run. I'm a baseball fanatic, like most people who would blog about a MLB team. A lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, I moved to the Bay area early this century after taking interest in the Rays late the century before. I speak in terms of "century" because the Cubbies haven't exactly won anything since, well, you know. Who couldn't love the attempt at the "Hit Show" and the team's employment of rag-tag but (mostly) good guys? Cubs fans root for the underdog, and I found the perfect dog for me. I haven't looked back. I hang with friends who are fellow Rays fanatics and talk Rays baseball all the time. I attend every game I can get to, and some I shouldn't. Whether it is on tv or at the stadium, with friends or with the dog, enjoying Rays baseball is nothing but good times... I am early in my blogging "career," but I find that I have something to say about this team I love. Usually good, sometimes not so much. Either way, I'm tired of yelling at the tv or at players who can't hear me at the stadium (my dog only yawns and falls asleep when I try to talk to her). So a blog sounded like fun. It is.
