Below is a screenshot from the St. Pete Times. The image is of John Romano’s latest column and was posted to the tampabay.com website sometime prior to 10:30 last night (the entire article can be found here). The article is a typical “these aren’t the Rays we know and love” [...]
Joe is so giddy over the Rays win he doesn’t know where to begin? It was the Holy Trinity of baseball tonight: pitching, defense and a key hit. * Wade Davis: Was this his best outing? Hard to argue. Once he got past the first, he was simply dominant. Joe [...]
That’s what 10Connects.com asks in a recent piece. “I’ve looked at both papers’ coverage,” said Dr. Randy Miller, a journalism professor at USF. “Both sides have had coverage that clearly points out it either is – or isn’t – a good idea to move the stadium across the bay.” It [...]
