Go Rays!
9 = 4
With their ALDS victory, the Rays became the sixth expansion team to win a postseason debut. After a season's worth of battling the Red Sox, the Rays are entering into the ultimate battle. The winner will have a ticket to the World Series. The losers will have a ticket home. The Rays are now headed back to Tampa to take on the Boston Red Sox in what should be an exciting series. Have you been watching the games? Who are your favorite players? If you had the opportunity to chat with any of the Rays players, what would you say? Share your thoughts about the Rays here.
The NIE BLOGGING ZONE (or NBZ for short!) is a place to share your thoughts about whatever you read in Florida’s hottest newspaper: the St. Petersburg Times! School may be out for the summer, but here at NBZ you can keep up with the latest news and views of students all around Tampa Bay. If you have a burning topic to suggest, e-mail 
the rays dont need a new stadium no one even goes to the one they have. I think its just a waist of taxpayers money. the rays are sorry and dont deserve a new stadium.

My favorite player is the whole team and if I was able to meet them I think I would pass out and maybe ask if they could help me with my baseball practice so that I can hopefully be a Ray one day.

I don't like the Rays. I personally think that putting your hopes on a team for so long you just lose interest. I have been watching the games and the Rays are finaly starting to win. I still hope they don't make it to the world seris. I hope the Red Sox beat them down and make them cry again.
Posted by: dominick lhs 9th | October 13, 2008 at 08:31 AM
HOPE YOU ALL SUCCEED AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

I don't really like the Rays so I don't really want to say anything. I don't watch sports. So I wouldn't ask anything or bother talking to them.
