Theres a new sherriff in town, and we dont need no stinking badges, just some of the best young arms in the majors right now, Thanks to Minnesota for picking up our trash on the curb ( Delmon Young) and replacing very nicely with Garza dominating on the bump!!!

No long diatribe needed about the rest of the squad, and true baseball affecionados know how well are shelves are stocked in the Minors too.
Only one fan is more obnoxious at the Trop than a Yankee fan, and thats a Redsox fan,but thats Ok Tampa Rays "Republic" (as coined by Don Zimmer)
has grown the once quiet trop into the " PIT" as locals here and Coach Maddon likes to call it.

Once maligned for pulling the young arms too early last year after 5 and 6 inning stints, Maddon has the convenience of an Elite set up man, Wheeler, Balfour in almost in any situation, and the 2008 oft injured Percy. Percy hasnt been rock solid, but saving some nice games for them. Or hell just let Sonny or Garza go 8.
Typical responses listed below are sure to stream down, but It's what have you done for me lately, Thats what counts, Stop resting on your past Laurels and accept the changing of the guard

-"we won it in ..blah blah"
-Patriots..how much videotape does it take to cheat your way to a cup
-Celtics(NBA, insignificant at best)
-bruins...Pffft
and no need to post the little boy in redsox gear with bird flying. Acknowledge, Respect, Apply.
C'mon on in, come on down the Republic ......the weathers fine!!!(bandwagon fans need not apply)
and tonight,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~
