[TROP COMMANDMENTS]
Thou Shalt Not Act Like Red Sox Fans
From XM MLB Chat we get the story of a caller to 1010AM radio in Tampa in which a Rays fan told host Bobby Fenton that he was not allowed to a wear a t-shirt at the Trop last night that said "Red Sox Suck".
Caller to 1010AM radio in Tampa, big Rays fan, went to game last night, was told by stadium personnel he could not wear the t-shirt. The fan was quite upset, wondered if management even knew this policy was being perpetrated. Said the Rays are very family-oriented and want a kid-friendly atmosphere, hence frowning on controversial t-shirts. 1010 host Bobby Fenton empathized with the fan, who also noted the place was awash in Red Sox fans, huge cheers when Youkilis came to the plate, almost nothing when Evan Longoria came up. Fan would've liked to have more Rays' spirit with inclusion of t-shirt.
So Red Sox fans can say whatever they please, but Rays fans can't wear a T-shirt that features a word you would probably hear 12 times in every episode of Sesame Street?

Considering our "Buck Foston" shirts are among our best sellers, we are certain those have made numerous appearances at the Trop this season. Has anybody been told they were not allowed to wear the shirt?

And if "Boston Sucks" is so bad, why is THIS GUY, not only admitted to the game, but sitting next to Todd Kalas and getting his shirt on TV?

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays just announced a new business partnership with AlphaTrade. As part of the agreement, fans will be able to send text messages that will appear on the Rays new scoreboard this season.

We have been unable to confirm whether the Rays have also hired the ESPN intern in charge of comment deleting. We have a funny feeling that whoever is in charge of filtering the messages will be very busy, especially when the Rays are in the process of losing 10-2 to the Rangers in mid-August. Let's face it fans do silly things when they are drunk and angry.

Some messages that we are bound to see...

Hey you. The one girl sitting in section 206. You're hot.

Who wants to see a picture of Sean Salisbury's Lil' Friend?

Delmon, would you please throw your bat at Dick Vitale

Matt Silverman. Buy Me! Buy Me!
