Another call to move the team
It's a beautiful day in Boston as the Rays head into their pivotal series with the Red Sox, and all of New England awaits news on Tom Brady's knee.
But first, another article on how the Tampa Bay area "doesn't deserve" the Rays based on low attendance.
This one is from a writer named Scott Jensen from a web site called DugoutCentral.com, and he suggests the team be relocated to - here's a new twist on an old theme - Philadelphia.
An excerpt from his column, which is posted on foxsports.com:
"The problem is that Tampa is not a baseball town and never has been. It might take decades of good play from the Rays, with a smattering of teams like this year's, for the Rays to become a baseball town. And it's not fair to ask Rays' owner Stuart Sternberg to miss out on so much revenue for that long.
The Rays need to re-locate. That much is clear."
