Well, it looks like it's going to be Boycott Weekend at Tropicana Field, as the Rays do throwback uniforms and put the "Devil" back into their Rays.
Religious groups are going to be in an uproar and picketing outside of the Rays' ballpark.
If protesters can maneuver around the derelicts and find the right off ramp off I-275, then ballpark goers may have some trouble convincing these zealots that "Devil Rays" are actual giant sea creatures, and NOT the second or third coming of Satan!
Anyways, strange scheduling for TB and their opponents this weekend, the Philadelphia Phillies....that's right Flyer fans...YOUR Philadelphia Fightin Phils.... as TB had a day off yesterday (A Friday???), and play the Fightins for just two games today and tomorrow.
Odd indeed.
Rays, errr, excuse me, the unholy DEVIL Rays come into today's action in first place a half game up on the Red Sox, two and a half up on the Yankees, and five up on the Blue Jays in the AL East.
Meanwhile, the Fightin Phils come in second place in the NL East, trailing the NY Mets by 2.5 games, neck in neck with Atlanta who are also 2.5 behind, and Miami who stand 3.5 behind.
