The work done by SCB is just too good to be lost in the “Webtopia”. At this post, they have outlined several instances in which the anti-waterfront stadium group POWW (Protect Our Wallets and Waterfront) has altered images to support their campaign to discredit the Tampa Bay Rays and their proposal.

We just want to thank SCB for taking the time to show exactly how much of a joke this group is.
POWW! Right in the kisser! [SCB]

In fact, in 8 innings, Rays leadoff hitters walked 5 times.
THE BAD: Having a game on national TV, via ESPN with Steve Phillips announcing…
