For years the Tampa-St. Petersburg area has seen some awful sports. The Buccaneers sucked for years. Some people didn't even know that the Lightning existed. And the Devil Rays (now Rays) had been overshadowed by their fellow expansion team in Arizona.
Not...anymore.
Since the turn of the century, Tampa Bay sports have been the top of their respective leagues with the Bucs and Lightning brining home championships.
The Rays now have their chance and it seems that the whole Tampa area finally now believes in this team.
Trust me, it is kind of hard to believe. I really didn't fault the fans for not coming early in the season, when the Rays were hot and surprised everyone by snatching first place early. The team was the worst team in the majors last year, and now they're in the playoffs.
But how amazing that is, what's more unbelievable is that the New York Yankees are officially done. I think it's safe to say that the dynasty is over (it was probably over a long time ago), and we don't have to deal with all of their bullshit this postseason.
It's kind of fitting that they're about to implode the Old Yankee Stadium. The Yankees players of the past, considering the talent that this current New York squad, should be rolling around in their grave. This team doesn't deserve to play in the house the Ruth built.
Pop the champagne, the empire is over.
Like the band of Ewoks that toppled the Empire in Star Wars, the Rays finally ended the Yankees evil clutch on the baseball's playoffs.
Thank you Rays. Thank you.
