I'll take the Yankees any day of the week over Boston. By far the most insufferable fans.

I still remember the 1986 World Series when the Red Sox were one strike away ( 2x , game 6 ) from winning it all. The Bill Buckner blunder sealed their fate in game 6 and the Mets won and also game 7. What a series.

Calvin Scharldi…Rich Gedman…..pass ball BEFORE poor Billy

And….poor Billy was put in at 1st Base with the game safely in hand just so he could be on the field when the curse was broken

I wasn't old enough for that. I simply remember hearing all the 2000's about the poor Red Sox having the deal with the evil Yankees and all their money, while the Sox equally spent money. They and their fans constantly acted like they were the Tampa Rays trying to slay the Yankees, it was beyond obnoxious.

The network ratings thank you! Haters always going to hate. I'm curious to see if Wall Street billionaire owner Cohen of the Mets will offer Soto $600M since Soto said he's open for free agency. The O's will barely offer him above minimum so they perhaps won't be in the running for his services.

Tongue in cheek, but a big issue they have is people in Tampa will not go to St. Pete for games like St. Pete people go to Tampa.

At any rate, something to keep an eye on (especially with this board) is there is a real argument the most sense could be Wide World of Sports.

The Rays found a home to play while their roof gets fixed. The Yankees were kind enough to let them use their 11K capacity spring training ballpark.

Should make for a few interesting Sundays. Though I remain HIGHLY skeptical that the roof ever gets fixed. $55 million to fix it so the team can play one or two more years there (if that now that they have changed some council members)?

More liquid refreshments will be sold since the Rays came don't have the luxury of AC anymore.

The Houston Astros ball park is renamed Daikin park after the Japanese AC company for the next 15 seasons. It was named Enron park back in the day until the crooks who ran the company were exposed.

So, St. Pete Rays are essentially dead. The new stadium is not going to get built, and now it looks like they won't even fix the Trop, which means they default the contract. Shame they can't get the Rays to sell to Jeff Vinick (Lightning owner), cause ownership has DESTROYED that franchise. MLB is really a joke of a league with how they have let ownership get away with what it does.

Buffalo is an option. Bring baseball to upstate NY and fans I believe will support.

Buffalo doesn't support their hockey team. Most likely option would be Tampa honestly. But in the end, it doesn't matter where it goes if they don't have an owner who will invest in the team.
