The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Money Well Saved. Good for everybody that decided not to spend money on parking, tickets and concessions and instead spent a relaxing night at [...]
So the Rays failed to clinch a playoff berth? Joe’s not worried. It’s not if, but when. But that Derek Shelton special, a three-hit shutout loss to the putrid Orioles, quickly took a backseat to the grousing of Rays players that the Fruitdome was not packed to the catwalks by [...]
[Update] David Price gave one of those half-hearted apologies. You know the kind that usually starts, “if what I did bothered you, then…” If I offended anyone I apologize I did not think it was gonna turn into this… We’re not sure what kind of reaction Price was expecting after [...]
The Rays may *only* average 23,000 fans per game, but at least they don’t have to resort to fake fans. That is what one Italian soccer team has done recently… For the first time in four years, nearly every seat in the “Colaussi” stand, which runs along one side of [...]
How much of a role does the economy play in the lack of attendance at Rays games? St. Pete Mayor Bill Foster thinks it plays a huge role and he points to the Bucs non-sellout on Sunday as evidence… “There’s no reason, of all 16 games, that opening day isn’t [...]

On September 16, the St. Pete City Council is going to vote on a resolution to build a high-speed train between Orlando and St. Pete. “Connecting St. Petersburg with the 25 million annual visitors to Disney is a game changing event for our economy and for the future of baseball [...]
From time to time we are going to take a look at the 2010 attendance and see how this season stacks up against last year and whether the Rays can reach their goal of being average (in attendance). Notes on the attendance follow the graph… Notes on the 2010 attendance… [...]
Everywhere you turned yesterday, people were dumping on the Tampa Bay area for the lack of attendance at The Trop on Monday night. One example is Dari Nowkhah, a sportscaster for ESPN, who said the following (via Twitter)… 11,000 at last night’s #Rays game. 31 games over .500. Pathetic. Why [...]
