Sweet Tampa Bay !!! 10/20/08 – 10/26/08

The Rays have won the American League Championship Series!! They will now be the host for the first two games of The World Series!! In Tampa bay right now everyone has Rays fever, even those annoying Yankees fans. As they were cheering for the Red soxs to lose and I bet the same could be said for anyone not a fan of the Boston Red Soxs.



It came down to a game seven, and boy was it stressful and exciting at the same time. Nor did it help my heart beat or for the matter any Rays fan heart beat until the last out was recorded. As soon the last out was recorded, it was party time in the Tampa Bay Area, and the party will continue till the start of the World Series on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies at 8pm on fox.



I have been to Rays games since the 2000 – 2001 seasons. As that is when I moved down here from Jacksonville, which was during the late summer of 2000. In fact this season alone I went to a spring training game vs. the Yankees here in Tampa, and then I went to three games during the regular season across the bay in St Petersburg .



This is truly a special moment for the Tampa Bay area community as everyone has “Rays Fever “nowadays and for the one who says “sporting teams or events do not improve your community” to me is a total ambivalent person. But for now, SWEET TAMPA BAY!! . Go Rays!!
