The Devil Less Rays Should Make Barry a Ray.

3/3/08 - 3/9/08
Let me tell you a little thing about Tampa: it has a baseball team that plays across the bay in St Petersburg’s. A lot of people outside of Tampa think the Rays do play in Tampa, but they do not. It’s about a 45 minute drive across the bay and then another 10 minute drive to get to Tropicana Field.

That being said, now you really know why, during the games you see all those seats without people in them. That combined with the worst record in baseball for the past 11 years is not a good combination.

So with all that said, that is why I think the Rays management should make a “strong” push to sign, Barry the cheater Bonds.

Yes I have said it. I have come to this conclusion because to tell you the truth, with the news that their top pitcher Scott Kazmir's, who was going to be there opening day starter, until he got hurt in the first drills of spring training, with an elbow injury.

Is not great news for a franchise that changed everything this year: from their name to their uniform colors and they have even proposed for a new ocean front stadium. To be built in the year 2012, in St Pete.

So as of right now the Rays need some help and in what better way to get that, then to get all that media attention of the baseball world. By getting Barry Bonds, The excitement will be plenty at all home Rays games this season and that only should and would be well worth it.

That excitement which is something that the Rays home games of past, would only get when they are either playing the Yankees or the Red Sox’s. And regardless of the circumstances that Barry is in, for as of right now he is the Homerun King of Baseball and for a second he is Barry Bonds.

For me, that is the risk the Rays of change, should take if they do in fact want to change.
