Not to beat a dead horse…but Tampa Bay is the name for the multi-county area on the middle west coast of Florida that supporst the Bucs, Lightning and Rays. The Buccaneers and Lightning play in Tampa. The Rays play in St. Petersburg. Therefore, when referring to the Rays, if you want to say exactly where they are, it would be St. Pete. If you are referring to the team name, it would be Tampa Bay. They are no more the Tampa Rays, then the Foxboro Patriots, the Minneapolis Twins or the Somewhere-in-New Jersey Jets and Giants

I just want to say that after the Flyers lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to Tampa Bay, I said the next time the Phils make the World Series, it would be against Tampa Bay. Everyone laughed at me then…I’m not laughing now.

Just to add another wrinkle to the plot. If the Rays and Phils make the world series, it might be troubling to think that all the time the Phils have lost in the world series it has been at the hands of an AL East opponent. The Yanks, Bosox, Oreos, and the Blue Jays have all defeated us. the only AL East team not to beat us is the Rays. I am afraid that the Rays might fullfil the AL East prophecy.

Sorry to bring this news to the masses.
Go Phillies!!!

Dude, I live in Austin, and I can tell you, you don’t wanna go down there. I love Texas, but the people there are just a little crazy.

When talking about the city, it’s Tampa (I masterbate in Tampa). When referring to the team, you may call it Tampa Bay (Those players on Tampa Bay are real jerk offs).

/Grammar police.

@Gonzo
Also:
Freddie Mitchell wasn’t thrown the ball enough.
Marlene Stumpf’s real name is Brandice.
Fur coats look cool on a 60 year old troll.
And it’s still cool to say “bling”.

I also remember during the bad times with the Phillies, Eskin suggested we adopt a new team. He eventually concluded we should watch the Mets (due to the proximity).

According to Eskin, there is no such city as Tampa Bay. It’s just Tampa. Your sics were unwarranted.
